Jeanie lives in the heart of Mulgrave Woods, where ancient trees whisper secrets and waterfalls cascade down moss-covered cliffs. Legend tells of Jeanie O’the Fae, an ethereal and tempestuous creature.
The delicate sweetness of elderflower dances through the air, reminiscent of moonlight filtering through leaves. It carries whispers of forgotten spells and ancient wisdom, a fragrance that lingers like a half-remembered dream.
Tart and vibrant gooseberry add a zing to the candle’s composition. Imagine plucking these tiny green orbs from tangled brambles—their tanginess awakening dormant senses. Jeanie, too, harbours secrets that prick the skin like thorns. Ah, and a touch of faerie’s fury!
Here lies the heart of the candle—the tempest within Jeanie’s soul. It is a blend of stormy sea salt, crackling lightning, and the wild rage of woodland sprites. When lit, this fragrance conjures the wrath of a faerie scorned, her wings aflame with a vengeance.
The Barghest Nocturne captures the essence of Whitby’s legend of the Barghest, a spectral hound that prowls the moon-kissed cobbles under the veil of darkness.
In the labyrinthine alleys of Whitby, where sea mist clings to ancient stones and shadows weave their tales, the Barghest’s Nocturne candle flickers, a beacon for those who dare to tread where the mundane meets the supernatural.
Much like the obsidian fur and claws of the iridescent moonstone of the Barghest, this candle burns with an otherworldly luminescence. The fragrance is a dance between light and shadow. The dark fruits lament the night, while the black rose mourns lost souls. Together, they evoke the secrets of Whitby’s graveyard and the sadness of the sea.
Remember, dear seeker of mysteries, that the Barghest’s Nocturne candle is more than wax and wick. It’s a pact with the unseen…a whispered bargain into the heart of the night.
