However, it wasn't until 1857, with the arrival of paraffin, refined from crude oil, that candle making became what it is today. Paraffin wax burns cleanly and without an unpleasant odor. Its use together with stearin, braided wicks, colors and scents has revolutionized the industry. With the advent of electricity as a primary source of light, candles were no longer a necessity. Nowadays, they have become an inherent part of the decor of our homes, their flames rekindling the nostalgia of times gone by.
Candles symbolize warmth, romance and induce relaxation.
Their flickering light enhances the aura of our surroundings.
