The female bust candle is inspired by Venus, the Roman goddess of love, beauty, prosperity, fertility, and victory.
The symbols of Venus were roses and myrtle, the scallop shell, doves, dolphins, pomegranates, pearls, mirrors, and girdles.
Paintings of Venus were so popular in the classical era, that any unclothed female figure came to be called a ‘Venus’.
Venus was also the mother of Cupid, the god of love. Because she was the goddess of love, Venus was very important to new brides. They made offerings to her before they got married.
The planet Venus is also named after the goddess. It was visible in the ancient night sky at certain times of the year, and looked like a very bright star. Because it was so bright and beautiful, it was named Venus.
Because Venus symbolises beauty and nice fragrances, we could only call our female bust candle by her name.
The Venus candles are hand poured in London. We are only using Soy Wax and fragrance oils and natural dye. Each candle has a different colour and scent. We can also make custom orders based on your preferences. Please get in touch if you’d like to create your own Venus candle.
Some of our candles have colour imperfections, but that's because we like them looking like stone sculptures.
