Imagining of a rainy and cozy London morning on a Sunday. You get out of your bed and just want to enjoy a lovely coffee and stay indoors. That's the feeling we (as IMperfectionists: a slow minded responsible lifestyle brand) were inspired and blended that feeling with Marquise London's outstanding coffee smells and turned it into a candle:
'London Latte Art' candle which melts into a hand cream. It's also vegan and made out of soywax. We've blended distinctive fragrances like freshly roasted coffee beans complemented with rich cocoa.
So why do we use soy wax?
-Soy is a vegetable so since the wax is derived by the vegetables its biodegradable
-It has a 50% lower melting point compared to paraffin wax meaning you can enjoy your London Latte Art candles longer
-Scented paraffin wax candles release a toxic soot. Whereas soy wax candles have a cleaner soot.
- Also soy wax is carbon neutral
At Imperfectionists as a responsible brand we wanted to ensure our candles were responsible not only in material but also in the production phase. All of our candles are handmade by a Turkish women to support local livelihood.
Fun facts about coffee candles:
1- Coffee candles can improve focus:
Coffee candles can also have a positive impact on our mental clarity and focus. The scent of coffee has been shown to increase alertness and improve cognitive function. Burning a coffee candle while working or studying can help stimulate the brain and improve concentration. Not only do coffee candles provide a pleasant fragrance, but they can also boost your mental performance and productivity. Consider placing a coffee candle into your workspace or study area to get effectiveness.
2- Coffee candles can help reduce unpleasant smells in the room:
Coffee candles not only smell incredible but can also help reduce unpleasant smells in your environment. The natural properties of coffee help absorb strong scents, making it an effective ingredient in candles. This makes our London Latte Art candle a great option for households with pets, cooking odors, or other sources of unwanted smells. Additionally, the warm glow of a coffee candle creates a cozy ambiance that can help relax and calm your mind.
So how did we cross paths with Marquise?
The Marquise Coffee shop focuses on serving speciality coffees. Even this sentence is enough to explain since at IMperfectionists we love coffee. But that's not the main aspect of it the coffee shop itself is caring about minimizing food waste therefore they offer daily fresh bakeries in certain numbers. Also their specialty coffee beans but from the work ethic and dedication put into it by the farmers.
Last but not least they are female founded just like us.
Together we have blended our love for coffee and ethical supply chain and created a coffee inspired candle dedicated to London and Marquise's excellent latte arts.
You can also shop our various other smells of candles at Marquise such as: Sandalwood, Gardenia, blend of red fruits, jasmine and vanilla and Hemp candle.
