When I think of Pakistan, rose petal bracelets is what comes to mind, no wedding is complete in Pakistan without these. These are often presented to the boys side of the family, as they come with their Barat (procession) to take the bride back to their home.

This scented candle has a Tuberose & orange leaves fragrance, it has a burn time of approximately 15 - 40 hours depending on what size you choose. 

The candle is made using paraffin wax, which I have done deliberately as it has a better scent throw. If you are concerned about any toxic fumes but like the scent, I would recommend the diffuser drops, which work well with a burner. 

The Story behind the Name

Punjab is one of the provinces in Pakistan, where Pakistan borders onto India, it is also a province in which roses are grown. Gulaab literally translated means Rose in English.

The labels have been designed by a local designer in the UK, Nida Zuberi. 

Care Instructions:

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Burn candles out of reach of children and pets. Always leave at least 10cm between burning candles. Do not burn the candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Only burn this candle on a level heat resistant surface. 

Never burn this candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Do not allow the flame to touch the glass. On the first burn, always burn for 3-4 hours to ensure an even melt pool. Ensure the wick is upright, above the wax & central before the wax sets. Always trim the wick to 5mm before lighting to avoid smoking and damage to the glass. Glass may become hot during use. Extinguish when 5mm of wax remains and do not relight.
