PAPPOU'S GARDEN SCENTED CANDLE
//
[Heirloom]
The sequel to and partner in crime of YIAYIA'S BAKLAVA.
After being on the receiving end of many 'what about Pappou?!' questions, we have created PAPPOU'S GARDEN - a herbaceous dedication to Grandfathers alike, via a fragrant journey through their garden sanctuaries of pride and joy.
The strong accord is a savory vegetal concoction of earthy greens which of course, sits in stark contrast to his sweet and spicy spouse [and candle counterpart].
Top // Mint, basil
Mid // Calone, thyme, olive
Base // Tomato leaf, galbanum
350 grams of scented soy candle. 45 hour burn time.
INSPIRATION
Each summer, my brother and I would spend our school holidays with our Grandparents. As the sun [HELIOS] began to set, Pappou, would ritualistically take to his garden with us of course, his [somewhat forced] helpers and companions.
Tugging the squeaking hose from the wheel mounted on the brick wall, he would remind us that nothing beats home grown.
He carefully doused each of his prized plants with a generous spray of water, pointing out to us that some needed more than others.
The random but fragrant combination of summer heat, clean clothes dancing on the clothesline and water meeting his earthy green garden has burnt a scent imprint into my brain like no other.
At the time, I could think of a million ways I would rather have spent my summer holidays. Now, I can think of none.
CANDLE CARE
Failure to follow instructions could result in fire, hazard or injury. Keep candle and flame away from children and animals. Never leave a lit candle unattended. Remove all packaging before lighting candle. Do not burn candle for longer than 4 hour intervals. Always burn candle on a level, stable fire/heat resistant surface. Keep away from things that catch fire. Keep away from drafty areas.
