Situated at 152 Fleet Street in London, next to St. Dunstan's church, and connected to Mrs. Lovett's pie shop in nearby Bell Yard by means of an underground passage, stood Sweeney Todd's Barber Shop. An unassuming place to get a cut and shave, patrons had no idea just how close a cut they would end up getting! This scented candle captures the essence of Sweeney Todd's barber shop set in 19th century Victorian London. It was the place where many were lulled by the scents of vanilla and lavender scented shaving cream, tobacco, wood, and musk while they sat in the barber's chair, closed their eyes, put their head back, and waited for Sweeney's blade. But when Sweeney’s blade made contact, let’s just say, it wasn’t what patrons expected. And when his cutting was done, Sweeney would do a most unusual thing: He would call on Mrs. Lovett to bake another meat pie!
SCENT DETAIL: A warm and alluring blend of wood, tobacco leaf, caramelized vanilla, lavender, patchouli, and musk
SCENT STRENGTH: Medium
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 white. 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
