world's end obscura : no.8 jasminum (jasmine) candle
Handcrafted in Tasmania from natural ingredients for your burning pleasure, these exquisitely scented candles come in 3 sizes.
Jasmine in the Springtime… The promise of Spring’s leisure and joy is transmitted by the telltale aroma of the jasmine flower billowing over back fences in laneways. Stronger at night and reputedly an ancient aphrodisiac for the Persians, Greeks and Egyptians alike, the perfume brings nostalgic sentiments of happiness, youth and decadence.
Captured through a modern update on the traditional French method of enfleurage this candle’s aroma uses jasmine absolute from several varieties from the species including Star and Grandiflora.
