At home
Designed for the rooms you use most.
Drag, or let it drift
A window ledge above the sink.
Three flames at a table height you can see across the room.
A stable, level surface, clear of the curtains.
07 Tranquility suits the smaller rooms, with no scent at all.
Helichrysum, steam distilled from the flower. It goes into 89 Summer Sunburst.
Choosing
Which one, and why it matters less than you would think.
How do I choose between them?
By scent, and only by scent — they are otherwise identical.
11 · Sandalwood Solace: wood and root, the quietest of the three.
19 · Warm Vanilla Glow: cured vanilla, warm without being sweet.
89 · Summer Sunburst: cold-pressed citrus peel, bright, and bold.
07 Tranquility has no essential oils in it at all. If you want the object and the making without a scent in the room, start there.
Do they all work the same way?
Yes. Every one of the four carries the same trace of pure silver in the same wax blend. The scent is a separate matter from the silver. 07 Tranquility is unscented and is made exactly the same way as the other three.
How strong is the scent?
Deliberately restrained. Most of this category competes on throw strength. This one does not — the scent is meant to be noticed when you walk in and then leave you alone.
How long does one candle burn?
About 40 hours, at roughly 8 grams per hour. One candle is suited to a room of about 150–250 ft². In larger or open-plan spaces, use more than one.
