Grace – Mint Tea & Basil: The tart, fresh, slightly herbaceous fragrance transports us to a herb garden. It starts with fresh notes of mint and tropical leaves. Invigorating green notes and eucalyptus follow. Finally, the spicy, fruity base of ginger, fig, bay leaf and clove takes us into the kitchen and gives the fragrance energy and vitality. Fragrance family: Green.

Familiar scents awaken memories in us, new aromas attract our attention. And fragrances can have an effect on our mood: Depending on the type and composition, they revitalize or help us to relax and calm down. These scented candles from the Spanish manufacturer The Olphactory are designed primarily for the latter, even if they do have invigorating components. The idea is to take some time out and light these scented candles. The wax is made from soybean oil and enriched with essential oils, which give them their pleasant natural fragrance. Due to the unusually high concentration of ten percent, the candles give off their fragrance as soon as you open the jar. It becomes more intense when you light the candle. The warmth allows the scented oils to develop their aromas even better.

The fragrance compositions themselves are also unusual: The mint and basil duo Grace refreshes with herbaceous notes and is ideal for the windowsill in the kitchen. Forever revitalizes with bright citrus freshness. Blessing envelops you with the sensual, sweet, warm aromas of amber, bergamot and spices and is ideal for very quiet moments.

When burning the candle for the first time, please allow it to burn until the entire surface has liquefied. Only then will the fragrance molecules dissolve completely and the fragrance can unfold optimally. This also prevents a funnel and ultimately a tunnel from forming in the wax. To extinguish the flame, simply dip the wick briefly into the wax with a match and put it back in place. This prevents soot from forming and the candle burns well again. The next time you light the candle, make sure that the wick is not too long; it is best to shorten it regularly to 0.5 centimeters. Wax residue on the glass wall can be liquefied by briefly placing the glass in the oven at 60 °C. If you wish to continue using the jar, please remove any wax residue and clean the jar with hot water and washing-up liquid.
