A cylindrical ceramic candle designed to linger beyond the flame. Topped with a sculptural ceramic lid featuring a pair of lips and a cigarette-like form, the piece transforms when extinguished—placing the lid back allows smoke to rise gently through both the lips and the cigarette, creating a quiet final ritual.The hand-glazed ceramic vessel features layered tones of deep espresso brown, smoky charcoal, and warm bronze, with a fine volcanic stone-like matte texture.

We intentionally leave our wax undyed. Each candle is hand-poured using a premium blend of soy, beeswax, and coconut wax. Its natural ivory tone comes from the waxes themselves, with the beeswax occasionally lending a soft cream or pale yellow hue. Because we don't use added dyes, slight variations in colour from one candle to another are completely natural and part of the handmade process.
Killing It — up to 35 hours (three wicks). Too Much — up to 30 hours (two wicks).Actual burn time depends on wick trimming, burn duration per session, and environmental conditions. Burning in drafty areas, burning for sessions longer than 4 hours, or not trimming the wick will reduce total burn time. These are tested estimates, not guarantees.
The first burn is the most important. Let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the vessel before you extinguish it. This is called setting the candle's memory. If you blow it out too early, the candle will tunnel on every subsequent burn — meaning the wax only melts in a narrow circle around the wick and the rest is wasted.For Killing It (3 wicks, wide plate): budget 2 to 3 hours for the first burn. For Too Much (2 wicks, cylindrical vessel): budget 1.5 to 2.5 hours for the first burn.
Cut the wick to 5mm above the wax surface before every burn. Not after — before. Use a wick trimmer or a pair of scissors. Remove the trimmed wick debris from the wax pool before lighting.
Untrimmed wicks produce larger, unstable flames, increased soot, faster wax consumption, and shorter burn life. This is the single most important maintenance step.
On a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface. Never on a glass table without a coaster or heat pad underneath. Away from drafts, open windows, fans, and air conditioning vents — airflow causes uneven burning and excessive flickering. Away from curtains, books, paper, and any flammable materials. Out of reach of children and pets. Never on the edge of a surface where it could be knocked over.
