Scorpio Soy Wax Candle

Scorpio Candle - The Obsessive
October 23 – November 21
Birth Flower: Chrysanthemum

Scorpio is the one you do not forget. Water sign, ruled by Pluto, intense, magnetic, all depth and quiet power. The Scorpio you know holds eye contact slightly too long. Has a sense of humour that catches you off guard. Tends to know things they should not know. Loyal beyond reason once they decide you are worth it. They do not do small talk, do not do shallow, do not do polite. The candle for a Scorpio needs to match that depth, that mystery, that unmistakable quality of being properly and unsettlingly seen.

Why Amber Noir was chosen for Scorpio
Amber Noir is exactly the right fragrance for the most intense sign in the zodiac. Dark, sensual, smouldering, with the kind of presence that fills a room without needing to announce itself. The opening is sharp and unmistakable, with notes of black pepper, dark fruits and a hint of saffron, the heart deepens into rich amber, smoky leather and a thread of black lily, and the base settles into oud, dark woods and a quietly dangerous musk that lingers exactly the way a Scorpio does, well after they have left the room.

Hand-poured in small batches in our Portsmouth studio using natural soy wax, finished with a premium unbleached cotton wick, intricately interwoven with a delicate paper thread and encased in a protective outer jacket, for a steadier flame and a cleaner, longer burn.

The birth flower
Chrysanthemum is the November birth flower, traditionally symbolising loyalty, devoted love and longevity. The dark-petalled, deep-burgundy chrysanthemums of late autumn particularly capture Scorpio's intensity, all that velvety depth and quiet power held in a single bloom.

The perfect gift for
The Scorpio in your life who is impossible to buy a generic gift for. The friend whose loyalty you would not trade for anything. The partner who knows exactly what you are thinking before you do. The sister who terrifies your boyfriends in the best possible way. Scorpio appreciates depth, complexity, and being seen for who they actually are, and a candle chosen specifically for the most intense sign of the zodiac is exactly the kind of gift that lands well. Hand-wrap option at checkout.

The ritual
For the best burn, light it for two to three hours the first time you use it, allowing the wax to melt fully to the edges of the glass. This sets what's called a memory pool and means your candle will burn evenly every time after. Trim the wick to 5mm before each lighting. Keep the candle away from draughts, and never leave it burning unattended.

Each candle is fragranced with the scent of the sign's birth flower, individually selected to match both the personality of the sign and the symbolism of the bloom.
