“What really makes DVÄRGHÖK scented candle stand out is its colourful glass container. My idea was to start with a simple shape and then let the different colours create playful, beautiful and exciting combinations. I was inspired by overprint, where colours are printed on top of one another and blend into new expressions. The lid comes in a contrasting colour to enhance the vibrant look – and makes the containers especially beautiful to reuse once the candle has burnt out.”

When your scented candle has burned out, the container can still be of use. How? Simply remove any remaining wax and wash it – after that, only your needs and imagination set the limits. Maybe it could work as a tealight holder, a small vase or for storing jewellery and other small items. The point is that life can go on for your container – just give it a second chance as a useful and charming detail in your home!

Plant-based wax is a renewable material made from rapeseed, soy and/or shea oil. At least 75% of the wax in our scented tealights and scented candles in containers, excluding parts of our seasonal range, is plant-based and we aim to keep increasing that level. We use a mix of different waxes together with paraffin to get a stable flame and an even release of scent.
