FAQ
Straight answers.
What is the candle made of?
Soy wax, premium fragrance, and a concrete jar hand-cast in New Delhi. No fillers. Real concrete — grainy, slightly imperfect, built to last.
What does the sphere open into?
The sphere splits into two halves. Bottom holds the candle. Top is the lid. When it's burning you have a concrete bowl of light on your table. When it's not, you have a sphere that sits on a shelf and owns the room.
How long does it burn?
20–30 hours. Shorter sessions give you a longer total burn life. First burn: let the wax reach the full edge before blowing it out.
What fragrances are available?
The Sphere collection comes in three: Aquatic Paradise (Clean Talk), Black Morphine (After Hours), and Fruity-Floral (Bad Decisions). Beyond the spheres, we carry a wider range across chai, coffee, matcha, Indian mithai, and florals. Browse the full collection to find your fragrance.
