Deconstructivism Candle 6, Frigid Wonderland — Blue

Does it smell like cold forest air? Yes—icy citrus up top, conifer sap in the middle, then dry vetiver and sandalwood. From SOAPMEN’s Deconstructivism series with BOLTBOLT (Gallery), Candle 6 — Frigid Wonderland is a teal-blue column cut with wings and an oval shield—part totem, part small sculpture. Strike the wick and it opens with Buddha’s hand, lime, and kumquat; the heart turns needle-green (snow pine, cedarwood, Douglas fir); the dry-down lands on clean vetiver with a pale sandalwood trace. Short burns keep the citrus crystalline; longer sessions draw out the woods. Set it on a tray and let the form live between burns, or cluster it with other numbers to build a jagged skyline on the mantel.
