Did you know that candles have been used to provide light for over 5,000 years? Ancient Egyptians are believed to be the first to use candles and did so by dipping rolled papyrus in melted tallow or beeswax. While no longer needed for external light, candles continue to have a powerful impact in our homes today. Burning a candle evokes a variety of responses for different people, it can trigger a fond memory or transport you to another place. Candles are used for celebrations, romance, ceremonies, home decoration, and relaxation. There is something so comforting in such a simple act of lighting a flame, watching it burn, and breathing in the scent as it travels through your space. Although a simple concept, burning a candle is one of the best ways to relax as the soft illumination and warm scent bring a sense of stillness and serenity.
With Valentine’s Day on the horizon, Sophie knew she wanted to develop a new candle, to create something sexy and smoky. A rose scented candle felt too cliché and she didn’t want it to smell overly floral. So, when Sophie developed the Evening Rose candle, it needed to be an inviting yet unfamiliar scent. With a little tinkering, Sophie created the perfect combination with the addition of a simple, yet impactful ingredient. By introducing birch, the Evening Rose candle became the perfect transition from Christmas to Valentine’s Day. It carries you from one celebration to the next and is a must for special occasions and anniversaries.
