Dismembered bodies, sutured flesh, and high voltage electrical currents that miraculously bring to life a sapient creature is definitely not a subject written about by many authors, especially those in the 19th century. Unless they, like Mary Shelley, were intrigued by science and had a keen sense of imagination. This scented candle pays homage to Frankenstein, one of Shelley’s most celebrated novels - and perhaps the one that led to the birth of the SCI-FI genre. Boasting a sensuously captivating scent, this candle exudes an antiquated aroma that sets the mood for a gothic atmosphere.

CANDLE SIZE & COLOR:
Each candle contains 9 fluid ounces of wax and weighs about 1 lb. Glass jars are 3.5" tall and almost 3" in diameter. The candle is green. Note that each candle is carefully hand-poured in small batches; colors may vary slightly from photo.
CANDLE BURN TIME & USE:
Our candles are hand-poured with a specialty soy based wax blend that burns clean and is eco-friendly. Burn time is between 50-60 hours. When lighting your candle for the first time, allow the wax to melt all the way to the sides of the container. This should take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Failure to allow the wax to melt all the way to the edge could cause “tunneling,” which limits the life and performance of your candle. Make sure to allow the entire top of your candle to melt each time you burn it. Limit your burning time to prevent the glass from overheating. Burn your candle no longer than 4 hours each time it’s lit. Keep your wick trimmed regularly to ¼ inch to avoid "mushrooming." Discard your candle once the wax reaches ½ inch deep.
CANDLE CLOSURE: Black metal lid
