Working nine to wine

The classic talks about working nine to five. Your version ends rather better — with a glass and a lit wick. This candle is for everyone who puts in an honest day's work and lets themselves enjoy the evening. The black tin of creamy soy wax will be waiting on your table for that switch.

You choose the scent according to how much you want to unwind — fruity and sweet pamper you, citrus clears your head after a long day. Hand-poured soy wax burns steadily and without smoke, switching you from work to relaxation without a single distracting detail. A fitting gift for a colleague or friend who lives the nine to wine with you.

On the first evening, let the candle burn a little longer, until the wax has melted across the whole surface — that way you avoid it burning down into a hollow. Each time before you light it again, trim the charred wick and keep the flame at a safe distance from curtains and draughts.
