Scents To Pair With Classic Irish Tales this St Patrick's Day
In the heart of every story lies the power to transport us to another time and place, to stir emotions, and to awaken the senses. This St. Patrick's Day, we bridge the enchanting world of Irish literature with the art of scent. Join us as we pair some of our most beloved scented candles with classic Irish tales, inviting you to immerse yourself in a reading experience like no other.
Dublin Retreat & "Ulysses" by James Joyce
James Joyce's "Ulysses," a masterpiece of modern literature, takes readers through a day in the life of Leopold Bloom across Dublin. With its woody fragrance inspired by Dublin's Phoenix Park, our Dublin Retreat candle nods to this journey through Dublin. The musk core and top notes of nutmeg and cardamom evoke the historical and earthy ambience of the city's streets and parks, perfect for accompanying readers on their literary journey through Joyce's Dublin.
Dublin Tea Rose & "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray" embodies the wit, beauty, and complexity of Wilde's Irish heritage. Our Dublin Tea Rose candle complements the luxurious and sometimes hedonistic atmosphere Wilde paints in his only novel. Light this candle to evoke the warmth of sunshine and the richness of rosebuds, creating a lavish backdrop as you delve into the moral complexities of Dorian Gray's world.
Dublin Dawn & "Dracula" by Bram Stoker
Bram Stoker's "Dracula" may lead readers far from Ireland, across the sea, to the eerie landscapes of Transylvania, but Stoker's Irish origins seep through in the depths of his storytelling. The Dublin Dawn candle captures the essence of an Irish morning, crisp and teeming with possibilities. Lighting this candle will transport you to the mysterious and thrilling world of "Dracula," where every moment holds a sense of foreboding and wonder, much like the first light of day.
