Arguably the most vital female in all of his plays, Shakespeare bestowed Lady Macbeth with qualities that were commonplace, often admired, in his male characters. She was ambitious, hungry for power, deceitful and passionate. Her cries to be ‘unsexed’, to have any ladylike tendencies removed so the story can take a dark and bloody turn could not have made Shakespeare’s intentions any clearer.

Our literary candle is a mysterious blend of masculine amber and musk, exotic spice notes of saffron and oudh together with feminine florals, rose and jasmine and is inspired by Lady Macbeth’s memorable line that ‘all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand’ following the bloody murder of her husband’s cousin, King Duncan. This scent is robust, warm and exotic

Caring For Your Candle

The first time you light your candle, let it burn until the wax melts to the edge of the glass jar as this will prevent tunnelling. This could be anywhere between two to four hours. Caution: the glass jar may become hot to touch.

Pinch the cooled, burned end of the wooden wick or trim wick to 5mm before you re-light your candle.

Please wash and reuse your jar.

Our wax is a vegan wax, an eco blend of coconut and rapeseed and you'll notice that our wicks are wooden. We've been deliberate about our choices, opting for an easily renewable wax that burns cleanly, a sustainable wooden wick and oils that are free from phthalates.
