For this candle we combined cool peppermint tones and tempered it down with a base using eucalytpus oil from the Tasmanian blue gum eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) which is the main source of eucalyptus oil and grows plentifully in Cornwall and Ireland.
Eucalyptus belongs to the woody fragrance family, which is characterised by rich and aromatic fragrance notes. Its smell comes from the oil in the silvery-blue leaves of eucalyptus trees.
It's a multifaceted forest scent with hints of mint, honey, and citrus.
Imagine hiking along an airy stream inside of a sunny pine forest. The pungent notes of wood and resin infuses but doesn’t overwhelm your senses. It also contains sweet and fruity nuances, like a young orchard after a spring shower.
The minty aspect comes from terpenes, which are the main constituents of eucalyptus oil. It’s not as strong as peppermint, but eucalyptus certainly is well known for its crispy, cooling, minty aroma that makes it an instant refresher, in our warm weather in Asia.
This female bust candle is inspired by all of you, like Venus, and it represents the Roman goddess of love, beauty, prosperity, fertility, and victory.
