UN MATIN AU MARCHÉ DE KANDY- HAROLD & MAUDE

Our guide took us to the magnificent Kandy market nestled in the depths of Sri Lanka. In the midst of the teeming crowd, we discovered many stalls of deliciously colored spices. The air was heavy and humid. It was impregnated with their captivating, sometimes animal scents. We approached a small stall of subtly peppery cinnamon. These curious ochre sticks crumbled in our hands and happily released their warm, vanilla and fruity scents, which curiously transported us to scents of Christmases past…

FRUITY, SPICY: ALMOND – ORANGE – CINNAMON – SWEET ACCORD

Each of our HAROLD & MAUDE candles is made from 100% natural waxes. No mineral wax, so no paraffin from petroleum. The fragrances we use are all guaranteed to be free of CMR substances and phthalates.

When using it for the first time and after cutting the wick (about 5 mm), let the candle burn until the entire surface has become liquid! Since the size of the candle is large, this may require about 4 hours of burning (plan for this). This step will prevent the wax from hollowing out and permanently forming a crater around the wick.

The wax may not completely melt on one edge of your candle. (The pouring of our candles and the installation of our wicks are done one by one, by hand, and are therefore never centered to the millimeter.) In this case, just before extinguishing it, delicately use the tip of a knife to lift and slide this small crescent of soft wax into the liquid wax.

Use your HAROLD & MAUDE candle with delicacy! After firing, each of the ceramic pots received a matte, unglazed finish. This beautiful velvety finish may be sensitive to small scratches during improper handling.

For rooms larger than 40m2, and for better diffusion of the fragrance, we recommend burning 2 candles of the same fragrance, well away from each other.

Before each lighting, cut the wick so that it is no longer than 5 millimeters. Use a special candle wick trimmer so as not to scratch the ceramic.

Use a candle snuffer to extinguish it, to avoid black smoke and the wick from drowning. If necessary, gently refocus it with the side of your wick trimmer or the tip of a knife while the wax is still soft.
