Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde - Book Themed Candle

Picture the foggy streets of London; the frenzied murder of a gentleman has horrified Victorian society. In this gothic horror novella, Robert Louis Stevenson has the reader spellbound by the gradual discovery made by Gabriel Utterson that his respected and intelligent friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, is in fact living a double life. The novel’s main theme is duality; the obvious contrasting personalities of the doctor, but also the social hypocrisy of Victorian life where outward respectability may hide inward lust. It is dark, there is a violent crime and there are secrets, what more can you ask of a great book?

The fragrance for our literary candle has been inspired by the shadow side of the Jekyll and Hyde story and combines the deep spices of frankincense and akigalawood with hints of woody resin from labdanum and cyclamen; vanilla adds a contrasting sweetness. This scented candle would make a unique gift for any book lover but particularly a reader that is fond of gothic literature.
