      Michelangelo's David has stood in Florence since 1504 — the definitive sculpture of classical beauty and masculine ideal. This hand-poured soy wax interpretation brings that reference into the home in a form that is both reverential and entirely contemporary: a bust or half-head sculpture that works as art before it works as a candle.

      Made from 100% natural soy wax at our Orlando studio, the David candle is individually hand-finished, with burn time of 35–45 hours. The facial detail is precise — this is not a generic face. It is recognisably David, in wax.

      Available scents: Peony Bouquet · Cherry Blossom · English Rose · Lime & Lavender. Each fragrance is crafted from phthalate-free oils chosen to complement the character of the sculpture — choose at checkout.

      Candle care

      • First burn: Allow the wax pool to reach the edges before extinguishing — this prevents tunnelling and extends burn life.
      • Wick care: Trim the wick to 5 mm before every burn for a clean, steady flame.
      • Burn time: 2–4 hours at a time for best results. Never burn unattended or near flammable materials.
      • ✂️Trim the wickTrim to 5 mm (¼ inch) before every burn. A properly trimmed wick gives a clean, steady flame and prevents mushrooming or excess soot.
      • ⏱️First burn — the most importantOn your first burn, let the wax pool reach all the way to the edges of the vessel before extinguishing. This sets the memory ring and prevents tunnelling for the life of the candle.
      • 🕐Burn sessionsBurn for a maximum of 3–4 hours at a time. Allow the candle to cool completely before relighting. For sculptural pieces, we recommend 1-hour sessions to best preserve the form.
      • 📍PlacementPlace on a heat-resistant dish or tray. Keep away from draughts, open windows, and air vents — these cause uneven burning and excess smoke.
      • 🛑When to stopStop burning when approximately 1 cm of wax remains. Burning to the very base can overheat the container and damage the surface beneath.
      • ☀️StorageStore in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Prolonged UV exposure can fade the colour and affect fragrance strength.
      • 🔥SafetyNever leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children, pets, and flammable materials. Always burn on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
      How do I prevent my candle from tunnelling?

      The most important step is the first burn. Let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the vessel before extinguishing — this sets the memory ring. If the candle tunnels from a missed first burn, a longer subsequent burn session and a candle warmer can help recover the pool.

      Why is there white powder or bloom on my candle?

      White bloom (frosting) is a completely natural characteristic of 100% soy wax. It happens when the wax recrystallises — especially in temperature changes. It does not affect burn quality or fragrance throw. It is actually a sign that your candle is made from natural soy, not a blend.

      My candle is producing black soot — what should I do?

      Soot is almost always caused by an untrimmed wick. Extinguish the candle, let it cool, and trim the wick to 5 mm before relighting. Also check for draughts — any air movement can cause an unsteady flame and excess carbon deposits.

      Can I burn sculptural candles or will they melt out of shape?

      Yes, they are fully functional. Sculptural candles are designed to be burned, though the form will gradually change as the wax melts. For display longevity, keep burn sessions to 1 hour. Place on a heat-resistant dish to catch any pooled wax and protect the surface beneath.

      Are Votive candles safe around pets?

      Yes. Our candles use phthalate-free fragrance oils, lead-free cotton wicks, and 100% natural soy wax — no paraffin, no toxins. As with any open flame, keep candles out of reach of animals and never leave burning candles unattended in rooms where pets are unsupervised.

      How long will my candle burn?

      Burn time depends on size. Small pieces (2–4 oz): 20–35 hours. Medium (6–8 oz): 40–60 hours. Large sculptures (10–14 oz): 60–100 hours. Keeping the wick trimmed and avoiding draughts will maximise burn time.
