A visionary concept...
York 1349
York 1349 explores a very dark point in world history, where death lurked around every corner and the human race was on it's knees, in the midst of the black death. Every flicker of this candle's flame beckons you to an era long gone, and every breath you take, weaves a complex tapestry of life, loss, decay and human resilience. This is a bold olfactory experience that serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's enduring spirit, and the fragility of life.
As you light this extraordinary candle, the top notes are intriguingly earthy. A coarse blend of damp soil and the decomposition of human remains. The scent of ancient streets, decimated by the catastrophic shadow of disease. As the scent continues to unfold, layers of aromatic herbs come forth; sage, rosemary and various sweet botanicals, that were used historically to ward off infection, inside the mask of a plague doctor. These herbaceous and floral notes combine with the undertones of earth and decay, to create a scent profile that is stark, unique, beautiful and fascinating. Scientifically speaking, the unusual undertones of this scent profile propel the floral tones to new heights, never before experienced in a scented candle. Until now.
This was the very first scented candle that we made, and it pioneered our entire Room Spell range. The candle’s wax, with its deep, black, sombre hues, reflects the weight of history, while the flame symbolises hope and illumination amidst the black of despair. Each burn of York 1349 becomes a moment of reflection, a transformative encounter with the past that encourages us to confront our collective fears and fragilities. It invites you not only to remember the trials humanity has faced, but to celebrate the triumphs of survival, adaptation, and communal healing.
So join us, as this visionary scented candle stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. An emblem of how we can navigate the shadows of our history, whilst embracing the light of the future. Let the unusual scent of York 1349 be a reminder, that through every plague, a new dawn emerges, filled with possibilities and unyielding hope.
In the embrace of the dark, may you find your true light.
