We have dedicated our 2nd Advent calendar door entirely to our candle. We present it in a short profile. Let's start with a short quotation:

I burn for others
Time of origin: Most candle wax originates from the time of dinosaurs.

Personality: It is patient, calm, and never pushy. It is always there when you need it, to give you hope in your darkest moments. It doesn't like draughts - they upset it and make its flame flicker.

Appearance: Small, large, thick, thin, usually made of wax with a cotton or hemp wick, often in decorative jars, pleasantly scented.

Special skill: It creates a pleasant atmosphere in any situation. Whether flickering in the living room, on a birthday cake or at a romantic candlelight dinner.

Controversy & Scandal: Always the center of attention! At a festive dinner, in an Advent wreath or a cozy evening with friends.
