Glasshouse Fragrances’ Velvet Rhapsody Candle captures the essence of the sun rising after rainfall over a sparkling paradisal garden, filled with the idyllic aroma of petrichor.

The scent opens with citrusy yuzu and orange extracts, accompanied by bright bergamot and floral nuances of violet and jasmine. Water lily floats down the lazy river to reveal itself in an aquatic heart, followed by the scent of rained-on-earth emanated through amber, musk and woods.

A carefully crafted centrepiece suitable for any home, the soy wax candle arrives in a luxurious, decorative glass jar.

Trim wicks to 7mm and ensure they are straight and upright. Place candle in a non-draughty area and light all wicks. Ensure that the flames are steady, not shaking or flickering.
