OCTAEVO Templo Candle - Ivory

It arrived carefully wrapped, and the hand-poured wax has this lovely, subtle texture you can see up close. The relic-style sculpture feels sturdy enough to keep as a keepsake long after the candle burns down, which I already plan to do.

The hand-poured wax has this lovely uneven texture that makes it feel genuinely one-of-a-kind, not just another mold. It’s been sitting on my shelf for a week as a little relic, and I catch myself staring at it more than I’d admit.

The sculpted wax looks like a tiny museum relic on my shelf, and the hand-poured texture gives it a lovely, organic unevenness. It’s more of an art piece than a candle for me, and I’m almost afraid to burn it, but the craftsmanship is clearly Italian.
