In ancient Greece, the nymph Melissa was a significant figure associated with bees. She discovered the use of honey and taught others how to harvest it. This knowledge made her an important figure in ancient Greek Society, with Melissa often portrayed as the guardian of bees. Honeybees are a central symbol to Melissa's identity, representing sweetness and abundance - which is what this cute little candle is all about: sweetness and joy. 
 
Infused with the subtle, honeyed aroma of pure beeswax, each candle offers a naturally soothing scent without synthetic fragrances. Beeswax is known for its clean, long-lasting burn properties, making it a thoughtful choice for both you and your home. When your candle is finished, consider up-cycling the remaining wax into small tea lights, balms or polish. We believe in creating products that are as sustainable as they are beautiful.
