While some folks enjoy watching films by candlelight, this scented movie candle takes a more literal approach. Here in time for the fourth Hunger Games instalment, Mockingjay Part 2, the Mockingjay candle features a fragrance inspired by the young adult novel and movies based on the book.
Available on Etsy from Anthology Candles, the orange hued movie candle could be an homage to the sunset orange Peeta identifies as his favorite color in Catching Fire. It could also be a reference to fire of revolution central to the story. At any rate, the odor is supposed to reflect firewood, juniper trees and nightlock berries (the latter of which is fictional).
The hand-mixed and hand-poured candles are made with natural soy wax with low smoke wicks.
