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 a figure of importance 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.
