Ophelia
Waterlily Candle - Shakespeare Ophelia Inspired
From the stream's quiet, weeping banks, a whisper rises. This waterlily scented candle offers a tribute to innocence lost, and a memory held close to the heart—inspired by Shakespeare's tragic Ophelia.
Ophelia, a scent like sunlit water, offers a tribute
to innocence lost, and a memory held close to the heart.The luminous notes of waterlily emerge first,
a surface of pure, tranquil bloom floating in still air.
Beneath this fragile grace, the bright, green-citrus of lemongrass
cuts through the water, a fleeting clarity
before the world becomes too heavy.Finally, the scent rests on dewdrops—tiny spheres of morning light,
trembling with a crystalline chill.
It is the freshness before the fall, the fragile peace
of a moment suspended, never to be forgotten.
