PRODUCT DETAILS
“The map of the world is drawn by travellers and nomads. Built into it are steps, nights and days, stations and encounters.” – Jasna Horvat
The Historian is a pure vegan-friendly soy wax candle designed to capture the rich, intoxicating atmosphere of the legendary Silk Road; where East meets West in a blend of spices, stories, and treasures.
This complex scent opens with sweet orange, silky jasmine, orchid, and the comforting warmth of roasting chestnuts.
The heart glows with orris root, pine resin, and smouldering incense, deepened by cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. Finally, a sumptuous base of precious oriental woods, sweet vanilla bean, fir balsam, and moss lingers long after the flame is extinguished.
A candle for travellers, storytellers, and those who feel at home in history’s pages.
