Heart Of Darkness Scented Candle

Inspired by Joseph Conrad’s 1899 novella of the same name, this is a journey by steamer up the Congo River into the unknown.

For Heart of Darkness, Timothy Han has collaborated with renowned British artist Nicola Hicks who works in plaster and clay to depict the ugly face of colonialism.

Hicks’ sculpture and drawings have been presented in numerous museums and galleries including a major solo exhibition at the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven and the 2013 Venice Biennale.

The fragrance reflects the novel theme of physical and psychological journey and explores the limits of human experience as well as the nightmarish realities of imperialism.

Watery green floral notes give way to the scent of dark woods and damp moss, infused with hints of burning coal and amber.
