Parma Violet Scented Soy Tin Candle

A soft, powdery floral scented soy tin candle for bringing a sweeter, old-fashioned note to a quiet room. Violet flower opens first, with rose and freesia giving it lift, before it settles into a powdery violet and iris base.

Parma violet in the room

• The first impression is floral and nostalgic, like a little paper-wrapped sweet kept in a handbag.
• Rose and freesia stop the violet from feeling flat, adding a lighter garden softness around it.
• The powdery base gives the scent a gentle dressing-table feel, suited to bedrooms, reading corners and calm evenings.
• The art-printed tin brings colour to a shelf or side table, even before the candle is lit.
• Because it is a tin candle, it feels relaxed and easy to place around the home.

Soy wax and a cotton wick

The candle is made with soy wax in a tin vessel, blended with fragrance for a clear floral throw. The wick is made from cotton with paraffin wax, giving a simple, steady flame when cared for properly.

The printed tin after the last burn

The art tin is part of the appeal: light, colourful and less formal than glass. Once the candle is finished, cooled and cleaned out, the tin can be reused for small keepsakes or recycled where local facilities allow.

How to burn it well

Place the candle on a heat-proof holder or plate, away from anything flammable. Trim the wick to about 5 mm before lighting, and do not leave it burning unattended.

Avoid burning continuously for more than four hours. Stop using the candle when around 1 cm of wax remains in the bottom of the tin.

A small floral ritual

Parma violet sits in that familiar space between flower and memory. Violet has long been used in perfumery for its soft, powdery character, often associated with vintage cosmetics, pressed petals and quiet femininity. Here it is made brighter with rose and freesia, then grounded by iris, so the scent feels decorative without becoming heavy. It suits a room where you want fragrance to feel present but not sharp.

Size and details

This is a 120 g scented soy wax candle in an art-printed tin. It has a burn time of up to 23 hours when used with proper candle care. Made in China as part of the Art Tin Candles range.

A thoughtful little gift

A lovely choice for someone who likes floral fragrance, pretty tins and small home rituals. It suits birthdays, thank-you gifts, housewarmings, or a simple treat for a bedside table.
