Gulab Jamun Candle

A terracotta bowl candle moulded as gulab jamuns in syrup, finished with gold leaf and pistachio detailing. Arts Shala pours this candle in small batches using natural soy wax, which burns more slowly and more cleanly than paraffin and carries fragrance evenly from the first light to the last. The sculpting and finishing are done by hand, so each piece carries the small variations that come with hand work rather than machine moulding. The mithai candles are made to be mistaken for the real thing on a festive tray, which is exactly what makes them such a talking point when a box is opened. They work well as return gifts, as table dressing for a Diwali lunch, or as the small surprise inside a larger corporate hamper. The candle carries about 25 grams of wax and gives roughly 1.5 hours of burn time. The fragrance is chosen at the time of ordering from the classic range, which includes rose, jasmine, lavender, sandalwood, mogra, vanilla, coffee, chocolate, cinnamon, strawberry, or from the luxe range, which includes patchouli, bergamot, vetiver, citronella, musk, oud, lotus, lemongrass, blueberry, eucalyptus. Orders can be finished with your own outer box, sleeve or label, and the packaging can carry a company name, a logo or a printed message for the occasion. The studio takes bulk runs from ten pieces up to a thousand, and every piece is quality checked and packed to travel safely. It is a natural fit for Diwali gifting, festive return favours and sweet themed hampers.
