Why you’ll want this scented candle from ILLUME: Looking for a small moment of calm that doesn’t demand attention, but still makes itself felt? North Sky gives off a refined, restful scent: grounded in ebony wood, with a heart of blackcurrant and a hint of candied citrus. Subtle enough for everyday use, yet rich enough to bring atmosphere to the living room, bathroom, or your workplace. The compact vanity tin looks lovely on its own and is easy to move, so you can add fragrance exactly where you like it.

Details & material: Scented candle in a blue tin with plant-based wax and a diameter of ø 6.5 cm. The wax is vegan and cruelty-free; a nice choice if you want to make mindful decisions. Burn time is up to 20 hours, so you can enjoy the same scent for several evenings. The tin is designed with a wraparound label on textured paper, a patterned interior, and subtle metallic details; the coloured rim matches the colour of the wax. The tin gives a soft glow and is endlessly recyclable.

How to use: Place the candle in a quiet corner or next to your desk for a calm break; if you like, pair two tins for extra depth of scent. Has the candle burned down? Give the tin a second life as a small storage box for jewellery or paper clips. A small addition with a big sense of care.
