Candle-Making Kit · New Romantic
Specifications
New Romantic is damask rose over sandalwood and cedarwood, with rose geranium, palmarosa, lavender and chamomile between them. Damask rose, Rosa damascena. Emily made it in early summer, from a memory of Jaipur: the pink city turning rose at dusk, the colour climbing the walls. The chest opens.
This kit makes that scent at your own table. Emily blends the oil. The pouring is yours.
Each candle in the box: 150g eco soy wax, a 15ml New Romantic essential oil blend, a frosted white glass vessel, a copper lid, and a cotton wick with holder and sticker. Each one sets to a 165g candle. Written instructions and a video of the workshop come in every box.
Choose one, two or three candles. All materials 100% natural, cruelty-free and sourced in the UK.
Seven essential oils. Every one named.
Single-origin, sourced from the grower who knows them best. No carriers, no extenders, no synthetic fragrance.
