RESTOCKED

Pimpinellifolium (Wild Tomato Leaf)

Stunning wild tomatoes envelop you with the scent of their leaves taking warmth from the sun’s rays– it’s a summer day so divine you could consume it– or else… let it consume you. A scented candle that smells good enough to eat will have you basking in the unusual and savoury aroma of fresh tomato leaves- at once fresh and bright yet grounded and welcoming.

NEW IN

Light & Dark

Each vessel is handblown in Italy made from recycled wine bottles. In Italy it is typical to hoard your empty wine bottles in the scullery and take them to the communal recycling point for your area. Here recycling is sorted into light and dark bottles, our glassware range is the recycled product of this social practice.

The style of blowing is called bullicante and it a traditional method originating in Venice.

Explore by notes

  • Our delicate Spring fragrances are made using a traditional method close to the ancient art of enfleurage: fragile flowers are pressed into balms at the peak of their ripeness and warmed to gently extract their pure essences without bruising the petals. These form a pomade that is then processed into the oils used for making World’s End Obscura’s signature fragrances.

  • Wood based aromas such as sandalwood and cedars are extracted using ancient steam distillation methods. For thousands of years the heart of woods has been used for ceremonial and medicinal purposes through natural alchemies.

  • Foliage based fragrances are formulated using distillation methods. Leaves are collected and slightly crushed before being placed in a bath of ambient water and brought to boil. Oils rise to the surface and form a pure liquid thich is then funnelled into the form we use to add them to our candles.
