Trim the wick to 5mm before each session. Burn in stretches of no more than 4 hours and stop use when 1cm of wax remains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Scent in Context\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRydal is a small village in the Lake District, associated with William Wordsworth — quiet, wooded, and set beside a still lake. The fragrance takes its cues from that atmosphere: old wood, wet stone, a deep resinous note from oud, and the cool earthiness of moss. It's more meditative than uplifting, and works well in spaces used for reading, winding down, or working quietly in the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e350g in a clear glass jar.

Oud has a natural warmth that diffuses well from soy wax — it fills a medium room gradually rather than hitting immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs oud a synthetic fragrance in this candle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe fragrance is a British perfume blend that includes oud as a component. Agnes + Cat does not specify whether the oud element is natural or synthetic; it is part of a broader fragrance formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this candle suit a bedroom?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes — the grounding, earthy quality of the fragrance makes it a reasonable choice for winding down before sleep, provided you allow the room to air before sleeping.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Agnes + Cat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52964348559674,"sku":"ACBFC-04","price":26.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/8307\/0266\/files\/bG9jYWw6Ly9tZWRpYS85SC8wRS82MFIzMEMxSjY0VzMwRTlILzY5ODI2ZjkzLmpwZw_03364633-cb03-4b7a-861b-3ca9d6112130.jpg?v=1773055970","url":"https:\/\/shamtam.com\/products\/agnes-cat-botanical-soy-wax-candle-rydal-oudh","provider":"SHAMTAM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
