The scent profile — Kapha dosha
This Ayurvedic scented candle offers a fragrance profile aligned with the Kapha dosha: earthy sage with cleansing notes and the cool, refreshing leaves of mint to revitalise the day. You can enjoy both a pleasant mood and a carefully composed aroma, blended by the Indian maker from natural essential oils. The scent is never intrusive: it appears softly at first, then slowly fills the room as the candle warms.
What it is made of and how it burns
The wax base is a blend of luxurious coconut butter and soy wax, hand-poured with a cotton wick. This combination produces less smoke and soot than traditional paraffin and burns with an even flame. Burn time is about 20 hours if you follow the usage tips. The two wicks provide even warming and a fuller scent release, which suits a larger living room especially well.
What the Kapha dosha matching means
People with a Kapha constitution are usually calm, loving and understanding with a strong build. They may sometimes tend to over-eat, avoid exercise and sleep a lot. According to Ayurvedic tradition this fragrance composition particularly suits this type — but the choice is not a medical diagnosis: you can simply pick it because you enjoy the aroma. Many people give it as a gift to a friend or family member who recognises their own nature in the description.
How to use it wisely and safely
Before every lighting, trim the wick to about 5 millimetres — this means less soot and a cleaner wax burn. Each time, allow the candle to melt across its full diameter before extinguishing: roughly one hour of burning per 2 centimetres of diameter. Burn for no more than 4 hours at a time and leave about 1 centimetre of wax at the bottom of the jar. Always place it on a heat-resistant, flat surface, away from children, pets and flammable materials. This way you can safely enjoy the full burn time.
What is in the package and where it comes from
The candle arrives in a 6 x 9 cm copper-coloured metal jar, in a gift box, so it makes a fine gift. The total package weighs about 358 g. Country of origin: India. Instructions are printed in several languages. As this is an open flame, never leave the candle unattended while burning and avoid drafts or nearby flammable textiles.
