Ariel Candle. A gift if you part, that has a heart.

I love products that work on different levels in terms of their construction, purpose, design, benefits and a bit of philanthropy thrown in as well if possible. All of these elements tie in beautifully with the creation of the Ariel Candle. A candle with a heart.

Beautiful baby Ariel was born with down syndrome and just weeks after her birth, her amazing parents wanted to do something to raise money for down syndrome research and care. The Ariel Candle brings honour to Ariel, other babies and their families who are living, learning and loving the down syndrome world.

My primary school was next to a school for kids with special needs. Growing up we played and looked after one another. A matter that is dear to my heart still to this day. I was lucky to go to this school, not many kids have this opportunity. 

Ariel the name comes from the Archangel Ariel who is aligned with animals and the conservation of our natural world. I thought my name had strength until I read that. Impressive indeed.

But wait, there's more...
How does the candle smell? Simply amazing. Multi faceted. Each time that I light the candle another scent jumps forward to remind me of the complexity in the composition of this candle. How do I know this? I was trained by Michael Edwards in the art of fragrance composition and categorization as well as working in the cosmetics industry in both London and Sydney. 

A soothing musky base of patchouli, sweet floral jasmine, ripe nectarines infused with the crisp tanginess of black currant berries. On the surface this may sound floral, fruity and very sweet. Yes it is, but very sweet it is not.
The fragrance chords wrap beautifully around each other and emit a prestigious scent that would be befitting in the finest A Grade establishment or your less than humble abode.
The hand crafted Australian candle has eco friendly soy wax with natural fibers for the wicks. There is no lead or other harmful metals. The candle is housed in black glass which has a unique almost art deco look about it.

At $45, this 60 hour burn time candle is a must have. With a portion of the sale going to Down Syndrome New South Wales, you will smile nearly as brightly as Ariel.
