{"product_id":"fragranced-candle-sand-black-spirited-300g","title":"Fragranced Candle Sand - Black - Spirited - 300g","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlack candle sand that pours like fine volcanic gravel and carries a confident, layered scent: bright bergamot and blackcurrant at the top, then a smoky drift of birch and earthy patchouli, settling into musk, oakmoss and warm amber. Made in Britain, it gives you the freedom to shape your own candle in any heat-proof vessel you have to hand.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat you'll notice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe scent opens bright and fruity, bergamot, blackcurrant, apple and pineapple lift first, then deepens into something smokier and more grounded as the birch and patchouli come through.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe sand is a deep, even black, fine enough to pour smoothly and dense enough to hold a wick upright without fuss.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt arrives ready to use: pour it into a bowl, a jar, a tin or a shallow dish, press a wick into the centre, and light it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou can reuse the same sand again and again, topping up the wick as it burns down, so the vessel becomes part of the ritual rather than waste.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWax and wick\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sand is made from a plant-based wax blend, coloured black and fragranced with a complex accord inspired by classic men's perfumery: the brightness of citrus and dark fruits balanced against smoky wood, moss and a warm, ambery base. It melts cleanly when lit, pooling around the wick without producing heavy soot, and the scent diffuses steadily through a room. Use any cotton or wood wick suited to container candles; the sand itself provides the structure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to use and care for it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePour the sand into a heat-proof container, ceramic, glass or metal, to a depth of at least 3 cm. Press a wick into the centre, leaving about 5 mm above the surface, and light it. Stand the vessel on a heat-proof plate or holder, keep it away from draughts and anything flammable, and never leave it burning unattended. When you've finished, let the sand cool fully, lift out the spent wick, smooth the surface, and press in a fresh one. The sand can be reused indefinitely; store it in the pouch between uses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe scent in context\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fragrance takes its structure from Creed Aventus, a modern perfume built around the tension between fresh fruit and smoky wood, a scent that became a signature in contemporary men's fragrance for its confident, layered character. The bergamot and blackcurrant give it brightness and sharpness; the birch brings a leathery, almost tarry smokiness; the patchouli and oakmoss root it in earth and shadow; the amber and musk soften the edges. It's a scent that reads as bold and deliberate rather than soft or meditative, suited to someone who wants their space to feel composed and intentional.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the pouch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e300 g of black fragranced candle sand, enough to fill a shallow dish or a small jar about 8, 10 cm wide. The pouch is resealable; store the sand in it between uses. Wicks are not included, use any standard cotton or wood wick designed for container candles, available separately.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eA considered gift\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt makes a thoughtful present for someone who likes to shape their own rituals at home, who values scent as part of a room's atmosphere, or who prefers a candle that adapts to the vessels they already own. The reusable format and the bold, layered fragrance tend to make it a keepsake rather than a passing gift.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many burns will 300 g give me?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThat depends on the size of your vessel and how long you burn it each time. A shallow dish will give you several hours; a deeper jar may last longer. Because the sand is reusable, you simply replace the wick rather than the whole candle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I mix this with other candle sand colours or scents?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYou can layer different colours for a visual effect, but the scents will blend as they melt, so it's best to keep each fragrance in its own vessel if you want the profile to stay true.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat kind of wick should I use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAny standard cotton or wood wick designed for container candles will work. Choose a wick diameter suited to your vessel's width, a wider dish needs a thicker wick to create an even melt pool.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHAMTAM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67605454029114,"sku":"CSand-09","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/8307\/0266\/files\/fragranced-candle-sand-black-spirited-300g-cover.png?v=1790748382","url":"https:\/\/shamtam.com\/products\/fragranced-candle-sand-black-spirited-300g","provider":"SHAMTAM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
