Sandalwood Temple Candle

Sandalwood is the scent of temples, of grandmother's wardrobes, of evening aarti. This candle keeps that creamy, woody warmth and lifts it with a touch of green cardamom.

Burn it in a study, a meditation corner or a puja room; it is calm rather than loud, and settles beautifully into a space.

Caring for your candle

• First burn: let the wax melt to the edges of the vessel (about one hour per 2.5 cm of width) so it never tunnels.
• Trim the wick to about 5 mm before every light for a clean, steady flame.
• Burn for up to 4 hours at a time, away from draughts, curtains, children and pets.
• Stop when 1 cm of wax remains, then wash and reuse the vessel for flowers, stationery or tealights.
