Djinn Soy Candle (frankincense, rosewood, nutmeg)

Fragrance notes: frankincense, rosewood, nutmeg

Djinn (pronounced "gin," you've probably seen the singular form of the word: genie) are elemental shape-shifting spirits from Arabic folklore. They are described as being created from smokeless flame, while humans are made of earth and clay. Djinn can assume the form of a human or animal, dwell in inanimate objects, or even possess a human at will. They are considered morally ambiguous and can be malicious or helpful, but frequently seen as trickster characters. The belief in djinn is widespread across North Africa and the Middle East. They appear in countless tales, most notably Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves in the famous Arabian Nights collection of folktales and the Disneyfied version of Aladdin where a boisterous singing genie leaps out of a magic lamp to offer Aladdin three wishes.

This fragrance is inspired by the djinn of Arabic folklore and is influenced by the scents of the region. Frankincense is a most prized resin for its aroma as well as its medicinal and magical qualities. It is notorious for repelling djinn and other unwanted spirits. The heart of this fragrance is a woody blend of rosewood and oud. The warm, rich, and spicy aroma of nutmeg ties this fragrance together. Be charmed by this intoxicating fragrance, not by a mischievous djinn!
