Cucumis Melo – Melon Candle

Add to wishlist

The melon is the fruit of an herbaceous plant of the same name discovered in Africa. A member of the Cucurbitaceae family along with the cucumber and the pumpkin, its sweet flesh is watery and gently fragrant. The melon only ripens in southern lands.
A nuanced aroma of banana and pineapple remains before giving way to a slightly musky finish. Joyous and summery, the scent of the candle is light, aquatic and fruity.

MANUFACTURING

Firstly, the glass is white-lacquered by a specialist.
Wicks are then placed and secured in each vessel.
Because every essential oil burns at a different temperature, each fragrance is paired with its own specially woven wick for an optimal burn.
Every ingredient is then weighed and melted, with the perfume blended in at the last instance.
Candles are then poured; each candle holds 6.7 oz. of scented wax. As the wax hardens, the wicks are set upright, by hand, to be perfectly centered.
Each candle is then slightly melted on top, to ensure a smooth surface.
Once cooled, Carrière Frères candles are hand-packaged.
