New WoodWick Range
Looking at the rudimental beginning of the candle, from ancient times to our modern fascination with experimenting with various colours, scents and styles of candles.
We partnered with WoodWick to bring you the quintessential candle experience.
While the Egyptians were using wicked candles in 3,000 B.C., the ancient Romans
are generally credited with developing the wicked candle before that time by
dipping rolled papyrus repeatedly in melted tallow or beeswax. The resulting
candles were used to light their homes, to aid travellers at night, and in religious ceremonies. So, too do we use scented candles to commoderate special occasions.
WoodWick is just one of the candles used in our society today to not only assist but comfort us in our nostalgic feelings and memories. There are multiple scents and colours to choose from however for this article purpose I have only chosen my 5 favourites.
