'Through Smoke' Refill Candle

Whispered incantations carried by tendrils of smoke, we practice rituals in shadows. Introducing Cultus Artem’s debut Home Fragrance Collection with purposeful design at its core. Each exquisite hand-painted Porcelain Vessel is constructed entirely by hand in a small workshop in Portugal and can be used interchangeably with Cultus Artem's Refill Candles. The vegetal wax-blend for our candles is produced in France from a renewable biological source, selected for its clean burn and perfectly balanced scent quality. In development for more than five years, Holly Tupper worked closely with artisans across three continents to craft a multifunctional Porcelain Vessel that is truly a work of art in and of itself, designed to contain our vegetal wax-blend Refill Candles. The candle fragrances are inspired by the beautiful interiors Tupper has experienced and inhabited across three continents. Cultus Artem’s vision is to create products that have multiple functions, as an antidote to our throwaway culture. The new Home Collection amplifies Tupper’s dedication to sustainability — intentionally crafted objects that can be reused and treasured. Made in France. Fragrance Notes SMOKE AMBER HAITIAN VETIVER COCONUT PULP CEDARWOOD How to Use Refill Candles should not be lit whilst in their protective wrapper. i. Peel the recycled plastic covering from the Refill Candle. Use your fingers to tear the plastic from top to bottom. Place the Refill Candle into the Porcelain Vessel.  ii. Use a wick trimmer to trim the wick to 0.5cm length. For best results, always trim the wick before re-lighting the candle. iii. On first lighting allow the candle wax to melt to the full circumference of the vessel, for approximately 3 hours, before extinguishing the flame. This will optimize the candle’s performance, maximize burn time and prevent tunnelling.  iv. Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame.  v. To ensure that the candle burns evenly, recenter the wick using a wick trimmer once the candle has been extinguished and while the wax is still liquid. vi. Allow the wax to solidify before re-lighting.
