The Secret Language of Love:
We now associate candles with romance and decadence, but inVictorian times they were a necessity as there was no electric lighting until the dawn of the 20th century.
But like so many everyday objects, in the Victorian era, candles took on the romantic significance they are still associated with today.
Steeped in a world of rigid etiquette and strict propriety, Victorian decorum dictated a widespread use of codes and symbols be attached to everything from how one's fan is carried to the specifically chosen scent of a candle.
Signs of love or desire were often very discreet, and scents of all kinds were used to allure the opposite sex. However, they still kept things at a distance because they were never applied directly to the skin. These fragrances were often incorporated into the accessories of the day, such as handkerchiefs, parasols, fans, gloves, clothing, cosmetics and of course, candles.
Floriography, or the language of flowers, denoted differing sentiments of interest, affection, passion and love when delivered to a lady's parlour enclosed with a calling card.
With the launch of our new soy wax, vegan candles, Victoriana Floral creates the perfect marriage of scent and symbolism to enchant and delight.
