Today, brutalism often gets a bad rap – mostly as a result of terrible post-war urban planning experiments that resulted in soulless concrete housing blocks and bland high-rise car parks. But when it is done well, the architecture of raw, poured concrete still looks clean, striking and modern. These architecturally inspired concrete candles evoke the best of brutalism, set off with geometric accents in bold, contemporary colours and metallic hues. They are filled with some of Paddywax’s best-selling fragrances and topped off with gold foil stamped dust covers.
Make sure the entire top layer of wax liquifies the first time you burn your new candle. This typically takes 3-4 hours, so you might want to plan ahead! This will help avoid tunneling. You should also be sure to trim your wick to 1/4" if it gets longer than that. If you plan to repurpose your candle vessel by popping the wax out, this process can be made easier by leaving a quarter to a half inch of wax in the vessel
A powerful scent or aroma can instantly transport you to another place. The fragrance of fresh pine needles takes us straight to Scandinavian forests, while the whiff of woodsmoke reminds us of campfires and coffee. It’s a combination of memory, emotion and nostalgia, triggered entirely by your sense of smell.
In a non-stop world, lighting a scented candle is a simple act that encourages us to take a moment, relax and breathe. US brand Paddywax understands this need intimately. Their soy wax candles are hand-poured in Nashville, Tennessee. And each one tells a specific story or evokes a particular place, thanks to a carefully selected blend of beautiful scents, all inspired by the great outdoors.
