CURIO GLASS - GARDENIA'S SHADOW

Gardenia's Shadow with notes of Gardenia, Ylang ylang, Patchoulli, Mint, Vanilla

"Steam presses on the glass, and the flowers sing as they’re pulped.

Oil clings to the silver lining. Concoct and decant: then from the bottle comes a drop of liquid crystal.

Taste us in the stain of herbs mashed underfoot.

See us as a punch of colour, bright behind closed eyes.

Smell the cut-flower vase: it’s us, relaxing into throes of scented death.

We are an impossible essence. And somehow we are here, in vert syrup,

in solid fog suspended."

- H.McNaughton

A reimagining of the candle and inspired by apothecary of yesteryear, Curio Glass is a range of individually handblown coloured glass candles.

Each piece in the Curio Glass range is crafted in New Zealand, one at a time, so no two pieces are ever exactly the same, and are finished with a Curio Noir stamp reminiscent of wax seals of old. All candles tell an inspired story and are scented with a unique perfume created in Grasse.

Curio Noir uses biodegradable botanical wax and lead free cotton wicks.

Our botanical wax is sourced from a sustainable plantation that sponsors the

Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary in Sandakan, Borneo.

Curio Glass candles burn for 55+ hours.
