LIHA Queen Idia Candle Small (9cl)

The coconut and soy blend wax is clean burning and ensures a high burn point and great scent throw. The essential oil fragrance blend evokes ear thy tones of Geranium, Lavender and Palmarosa. We call this unique scent African moss, as it conjurs up images of walking through a cool mossy forest on a warm, balmy day. Our candle comes with a 100% sustainble cork lid. The art work features the legendary Yoruba Queen Idia, whose famous bronze can be found in the British Museum. We wanted to pay tribute to the pre-colonial matriarchal societies that are often dismissed as myth by academics and the patriarchy. She is a symbol of female empowerment and her myth holds that the source of her metaphysical power comes from two medicine-filled incisions on her forehead. HOW TO USE: The burn time for the 9cl is 22 hours, and the 30cl is approximately 60-65 hours.
