fruits, of citron, black current, orange and many others, interweave in
these fresh blendings.

violet, lilac, lavender and many others, intermingle in these floribunda
blendings.
The Exotica Blendings

individual candles culled from the collections that share a similar basis
of exotic aromatics. The mysterious essence of the sensuous, of myrrh,
sandalwood, labdanum and many others, intertwine in these bewitching
blendings.
The Individual Candles
The
Candles of the Oculatum are born of the same discovery used to create the
book of the same name and are made entirely by hand in accord with the
intent and spirit of the original text. Based on Medieval apothecary
formulae only the purest virgin wax and braided cotton wicking is used.
Hand poured in groups of six each candle is finished and grosgrain ribbon
dressed by hand. Each candle has a unique sensory signature created from a
combination of six separate constituents and each candle contains a random
phrase from The Oculatum 636 Book of Choices. We trust they will fully
meet your satisfaction.
