Read below for an in-depth review of the candle:

Set the mood with a bewitching deep red glass candle from The Vampire’s Wife, which has captured this most wonderful time of year in the scent, Bonfire. Like snuggling up next to a cosy fireplace, the Bonfire candle is the brainchild of Susie Cave; created in France by Cire Trudon, it intertwines Cave’s own personal associations of the onset of winter with a seductive fragrance.

In a nod to the best perfumes, the fragrance encompasses the warm range of aromas around a crackling bonfire, with top notes of smoky leather and cedar, middle notes of tobacco and resin, and base notes of exotic herbs in a heady mix.

The candle itself is formed from a black vegetable-based wax and is scented with essential oils; a pure cotton wick makes for easy lighting. The exterior, too, is carefully considered, and Cave worked with Tom Hingston of Hingston Studio on the elegantly gothic-inspired design.

The deep red of the glass is a bespoke colour created by Cave, while a custom-made black hat box makes this the perfect gift for rare luxury candle collectors.

A film was released to mark the launch of the Bonfire candle, with creative director Cave working alongside director Cole Flynn Quirke on Hand of God, written, produced and performed by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. Both the candle and the film are faithful to the darkly feminine aesthetic of The Vampire’s Wife, with the brand taking a sideways look at beauty since its inception in Brighton in 2016.

PLEASE NOTE:

This exclusive Trudon-manufactured candle from The Vampire's Wife was launched in November 2021 and each candle is brand new, never opened. They were sent to us in their original Trudon wholesale boxes of 6. The foil sticker may lift, but this is a normal occurrence and can easily be smoothed down or removed. No defects here.

DISCLAIMER: The candles are still potent, even without being lit, in our humble opinion. However, it must be noted that since they were produced in November 2021 before the permanent closure of The Vampire's Wife, the scent may not be as potent as newly made Trudon candles. It is no secret that Novemer 2021 was when the candle launched as many magazine articles like Vogue covered it. We serve as both an outlet and a source for our luxury community to obtain these cherished candles that were entrusted to us by The Vampire's Wife. We are not skilled candlemakers and therefore cannot ensure the scent's strength. From customer's feedback, they are great when instructions are followed (only light for less than 4 hours at a time). Nevertheless, this is the last remaining stock in existence, so we hope you understand why we are being careful. Only purchase if this disclaimer aligns with your preferences.

Why does House Of Huntington have The Vampire's Wife Farewell pieces?

Regrettably, owing to the closure of The Vampire's Wife, a Farewell sale was held to provide customers with the opportunity to acquire their exclusive pieces. As a physical sale, not all were able to attend, thus, we were entrusted with their remaining stock. The Vampire's Wife has chosen our small, independent boutique as a worthy representative (Cat was already a fervent admirer of Susie Cave). Included in the stock is the exquisite Bonfire candle, crafted with Cire Trudon, available exclusively through our outlet.
