Science and the macabre...
Medical Chamber
Medical Chamber takes science and the macabre, and makes them dance together in an intricate waltz. This scented candle transports you to a time when curiosity and fear coexisted, as medical techniques were developed, and early forms of antiseptic procedures were being experimented with.
The top notes of this fragrance are fresh and clean. Formaldehyde sits proudly on the top of this profile, it's unmistakable sharp, astringent odour being the first thing you will notice. A slight herbal combination of dried lavender and chamomile mixes in; herbs that were often used for their calming properties, but were also more commonly used to cover up the unpleasant smells of radical surgery. Intertwined with these notes, Medical Chamber has a grounding scent of turpentine, which represents the antiseptic aroma of a doctor’s private apothecary, where remedies were concocted and ailments were examined, under flickering gaslight.
A blend of oak, mahogany and leather provide a robust base. This echoes the sturdy furniture and bookshelves filled with leather-bound volumes that lined the chamber. There is also a slight earthy undertone of vetiver, which carries the faintest hint of aged parchment, capturing the essence of medical texts brimming with knowledge, their pages yellowed with the weight of time. These notes are complemented by a touch of tallow, the very subtle scent of hot wax, an ode to the medical assessments and autopsies, which carried on deep into the night. A final metallic odour of blood adds a grim signature to the end of Medical Chamber, as blood was an ever-present odour in such a dwelling.
So join us as we enter an old world. Let your senses be transported to a Victorian medical chamber, where enlightenment and knowledge were married to the human condition. An open invitation to explore the depths of history, all from the comfort of your present-day sanctuary. In every flicker of its flame, there lies a reminder of our relentless quest for understanding, beckoning you to breathe in the past and ponder it's dark mysteries.
In the embrace of the dark, may you find your true light.
