How It Melts And Performs
When lit, the candle transforms into a luxurious warm oil, gently melting at skin-comforting temperatures between 38 and 42 degrees Celsius. This ensures a soothing sensation that relaxes muscles without overheating.
Burn times vary by size: the 100g jar offers approximately 15 to 20 hours, ideal for personal rituals. The 315g size provides 35 to 45 hours for extended sessions, while the 550g jar delivers 50 to 65 hours of indulgence, perfect for professional use or regular home spa treatments.
How To Use For Massage
Light the candle and allow a smooth pool of warm oil to form on the surface. Once melted, extinguish the flame and wait a few seconds for the oil to reach a safe temperature. Pour the oil into your hands or directly onto the skin, then massage using slow, even strokes to unwind tension and nourish the body.
Remember to trim the wick to about 5 millimetres before each use and avoid burning the candle for longer than three hours at a time to maintain optimal performance.
Who Will Love It
This massage candle suits those who appreciate bold, masculine fragrances with a refined edge. It is perfect for men seeking a sensual self-care ritual, couples looking to share intimate moments, or therapists aiming to elevate their treatment rooms with a distinctive aromatic touch.
Best Moments To Use It
Ideal for quiet evenings of self-pampering, romantic nights in, post-bath relaxation, or professional massage sessions. It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who values luxurious home spa experiences infused with character and warmth.
