Starfish — Soy Wax Sculpted Candle for Corporate Gifting
Warm sandalwood, like incense in a temple courtyard. Quiets a room.
Dark rose over smoky oud. Rich and grown-up — an evening scent.
Rose and saffron, the way a Kashmiri wedding smells. Warm and celebratory.
Fresh jasmine over green tea. Light and clean, never heavy.
Soft vanilla and amber. Cosy and sweet without being sickly.
Cardamom and musk — chai spice, with more depth than sweetness.
Marshmallow, almond and vanilla. A bakery at opening time.
Ripe mango and coconut. Bright and fruity, summer in a jar.
Wet earth just after the first rain. Green, cool and grounding.
Sea salt and sun-bleached wood. Airy, like a coastal morning.
Cedar and cool pine air. Crisp, calm, a hill-station morning.
Bright orange peel over soft rosewood. Fresh and uplifting.

Burn & care
Trim the wick to 5 mm before every burn. This is the single thing that most affects how your candle performs — an untrimmed wick smokes, mushrooms and burns through wax far faster.
First burn: let it run 2–3 hours until the melt pool reaches the edge. Soy wax has a memory; if the first burn tunnels, every burn after it will tunnel.
In Indian summers: keep candles out of direct sunlight and away from a hot windowsill. Soy softens above roughly 35°C. If a piece softens in transit it re-firms in a cool room within a couple of hours.
Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from curtains, children and pets.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Where should I put the Starfish?
Bathroom · coastal interiors. A starfish, five-armed.
Is the Starfish a good gift?
It is bought most often for corporate gifting. Add a gift note free at checkout — we print it on a card, or write it by hand in ink at no extra cost. Gift parcels never include a price or invoice.
Is this candle meant to be burned or displayed?
Both. It burns 6–8 hours, but most customers keep it as décor. If you are displaying it, keep it out of direct sunlight — soy wax softens above roughly 35°C, which matters in an Indian summer.
Will the shape hold in the heat?
It holds well indoors. In peak summer, store it away from a sunny windowsill; if a piece does soften in transit, it re-firms in a cool room within a couple of hours.
Do you deliver across India?
Yes, we ship pan-India. Orders dispatch in 2–4 working days and typically arrive within 4–7 days depending on the pincode. Shipping is free on orders over ₹499.
Can I send this as a gift with a message?
Yes. Add a gift note free at checkout and we write it by hand on a card, packed with the candle. We never include a price or invoice in a gift order.
Are your candles vegan and IFRA-certified?
Yes to both. The wax is 100% plant-based soya with no beeswax or animal-derived additives, and every fragrance oil we use is IFRA-certified for safe use in candles.
