Description

Warm, smoky scent that evokes mulled wine around a fireplace / 14 oz

Festina Lente’s Il Viaggiatore candle features a wonderfully smoky, multidimensional, non-gender-specific scent with top notes of cloves, cinnamon, and bergamot; heart notes of incense, elemi, and patchouli; and a base of cedarwood, amber, and oak moss. This scent instantly brings warmth and intrigue to a room. The beautiful phthalate-free fragrance was developed by Italy’s most renowned nose, then blended into GMO-free soy wax with a cotton wick.

Festina Lente’s creator, Marta, describes Il Viaggiatore this way:
"After a long voyage, finally he opens the door. He is far away from home, but this place feels so familiar. In the warmth of a lit fireplace between the mingling of happy voices, the scent of cloves and cinnamon announce steaming glasses of mulled wine. The traveler feels already homesick for this place that has welcomed him, as if in a warm embrace."

Festina Lente’s beautiful luxe container was created by the Milan design house Taitù to turn this lovely candle into a decorative object. Festina Lente's symbols of the crab and butterfly — taken from coins minted by Caesar Augustus, who is said to have first adopted the motto "festina lente," or "make haste slowly" — are brought to life in vibrant color.

The gorgeous container can be cleaned after you burn down the candle (it lasts about 90 hours) with a little vinegar, baking soda, dish soap, and hot water. Check out our blog for specific instructions. Perfect for reuse as a holder for makeup brushes and cotton balls, but beautiful enough to warrant a place on your mantel to hold matches, too.

How to Use

Keep wick trimmed regularly to 5 mm. 90 hour approximate total burn time. A burning candle should never be left unattended or placed on a material sensitive to heat.
