The Old Curiosity Shop was perhaps one of Charles Dickens’s most popular works. The book tells the story of a grandfather and granddaughter who run an antique store in London. Financial trouble befalls the pair and yields them penniless in the streets. However, they never forget how happy they used to be when running The Old Curiosity Shop. This candle boasts a nontraditional scent that is antiquated, deep, and rich, making it perfectly capture the smell of the old antique shop in Dickens’s story.
SCENT DETAIL: The deep, rich scent of smoky tobacco leaves, suede, leather, and patchouli, with hints of bergamot and sandalwood
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 brown. 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
