Mandarin Lilac Candle - Shakespeare Sonnet 18 Inspired
"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" This citrus floral candle captures the timeless beauty of Shakespeare's most famous sonnet, Sonnet 18. A celebration of eternal beauty and the warmth of a perfect summer day.
"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate."
This literary candle opens with the glorious brightness of mandarin citrus, like sunshine breaking through morning clouds. The scent is fresh, uplifting, and full of promise—the essence of a summer's day captured in fragrance.
A citrus promise in the perfumed shade.
For rough winds shake the buds of May, yet here,
The lilac blooms and lasts throughout the year.
Its fragile whisper, sweet and soft, is held
Within the lines of verse, forever spelled.
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
But in this light, the purple violet shines,
That secret velvet scent, a lover's art,
That death itself cannot from thee depart.
So long as men can breathe, and candles burn,
Thy fragrance lingers, beauty to return.
As the candle burns, delicate notes of lilac and violet emerge, soft and romantic. These floral whispers add depth and sophistication, creating a scent that is both lovely and temperate, just as the sonnet describes.
"Sonnet 18" has an enticing mandarin scent with lilac and violet.
