Scented candle with notes of Clover, Sea, Sweet Chicory, Island Moss, Bone and Grass.

In the far north, where Orkney eagles carried Stoneage souls beyond the jagged cliffs, clover, sea pinks, sweet cicely, the sonorous sea.

“Though in Scotland, Orkney has its own culture with overtones of old Norse ways. It has the largest amount of Stone Age sites in all of Europe. It feels central to some ancient wisdom, in tune with the landscape, the sea, the standing stones, and countless ruins. The Tomb of the Eagles was discovered by a farmer digging on his own land in the 50s. He discovered people who were buried with eagle talons–perhaps so the eagles could carry their souls to heaven in the next world–no one knows for sure. I love this little mystery discovered in a hidden chamber–magic exists just around the corner of our everyday lives. The scent of the North Sea air is massive, spraying over damp lichen covered rocks. In the wind battered cracks I found tiny sea pinks clutching to the stones and smelling of narcotic carnation. Also sweet cicely fronds that smelled of orange and cinnamon! Magic just under my feet in the cracks. And the green, green grass and the clover. That’s the scent of the Tomb of The Eagles.” – D.S., Perfumer & Founder.

- Handcrafted in small batches from carefully selected raw materials, each transcendent fragrance blend is mixed in vegan soy wax, poured into a jar and finished with a woven cotton wick.

- Burning time approx. 60h.
- Trim the wick.

- Once your candle is lit, don't blow it out until the top layer of way has melted all the way across to achieve an even burn (several hours). Whenever a candle only burns for a few moments, the wick starts to sink lower and a tunnel is forming right through the center of the candle. All the unmelted wax will be tough to light, representing hours of lovely fragrance that won't be utilized.
