Heart Candle Medium Purple

Medium Purple HEART Candle – Handmade in Královské Poříčí

This heart-shaped paraffin candle measures 10×9 cm across and is 5 cm thick; it weighs 0.18 kg and burns for 5–12 hours. The fragrance is lavender and the wick is cotton. Every piece is hand-poured at the farm in Královské Poříčí in the Karlovy Vary Region, where the SVITSOL family workshop makes its candles.

The purple heart is a candle that works as a small gift as well as a decoration on a laid table. It does not pretend to be something it is not – it is an honestly poured piece of paraffin with a sturdy cotton wick that burns with a calm flame without unnecessary smoke. The heart shape makes sense wherever you want to say something without words: an anniversary, Valentine's Day, a birthday, a wedding.

Why This Candle

In twenty years of production we have worked out what works. With the hearts, it is mainly the balance between size and burn time – 0.18 kg of paraffin lasts 5 to 12 hours depending on how you handle the candle, where it stands and how often you put it out. For an ordinary evening this means you light the candle for dinner and it will still be burning for the second bottle of wine.

• Lavender fragrance – a delicate herbal and floral scent that suits a bedroom or living room and is not overpowering.
• Cotton wick – burns evenly, can be trimmed, does not smoke.
• Hand-poured – no assembly line; every piece passes through our hands.
• Paraffin wax blend – holds its shape well and burns steadily at room temperature.
• Purple colour – rich, it will not fade on the shelf.

Where to Place the Heart

The candle has a flat base and stands steadily without a holder. It works on its own or in a group – two or three hearts side by side on a tray make a bigger impression than one in the middle of the table.

• Dining table – for a romantic dinner or as part of an arrangement.
• Bedroom – bedside table, windowsill, chest of drawers.
• Living room – coffee table, shelf, bookcase.
• Bathroom – next to the bath; watch out for draughts and moisture near the wick.

Who the Heart Candle Is For

We have in mind customers who want a gift with some substance, not just a box from the supermarket. The purple heart has proved itself as:

• Valentine's or anniversary gift – on its own or wrapped together with another small present.
• Wedding decoration – on the guest table, next to the place cards, in the centre of an arrangement.
• Romantic dinner decoration – no extra candle holder needed.
• Small treat for a mother, grandmother or friend – neutral but personal.

What We Make It From and Where

The workshop is at the farm in Královské Poříčí in the Karlovy Vary Region. We work with a paraffin wax blend, beeswax and soy wax – the purple heart is cast from paraffin, which has proved itself for coloured and shaped candles: it holds detail, does not crack and burns steadily. The cotton wick is set in the centre during pouring, not added afterwards.

The SVITSOL brand was founded in 2004, and the principle has stayed the same since the beginning – pour by hand, check every piece and send out nothing we would not use ourselves. That is not a slogan; it is how we work.

Candle Care

• Trim the wick to 5–7 mm before each lighting.
• Do not leave it burning unattended and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
• Place it on a level, heat-resistant surface.
• Do not let it burn down in one go – put it out after no more than 4 hours and let it cool.
• Protect it from draughts so that the flame does not pull the wick to one side.
• Use it indoors, not outside in the open air.
