Hero Aromatic Candle

Hero aromatic candle. Inspired by the tragic story of the lovers Hero and Leander.

Hero was a priestess of Aphrodite, the Goddess of love, at Sestos. One day she was seen at a festival by Leander of Abydos. They soon fell in love, but their towns were separated by a strait of water which kept them apart. However, such was Leander’s love for Hero, that he would nightly swim the Hellespont so he could visit her, guided by a light from her tower. One stormy night the light was extinguished, and Leander drowned; Hero, seeing his body, drowned herself to join her lover in death.

This pillar candle, in white, is infused and filled with dried flowers that release their fragrance as it burns. Available in different scents like bergamot, lavender and sandalwood.

Measurements: 12 cm x 9,5 cm.
