Fischersund Candle No. 101
The Fischersund No. 101 scented candle is made using recycled soy wax and essential oils extracted from wild Icelandic herbs. It is hand-poured into its smoked black glass container.
No. 101 captures the ethereal, fresh green scent of the herbaceous backyards of ReykjavĂk. The short summers in Iceland are made longer by its 24 hours of light. Soaking up the 4:00 a.m. rays of radiant sunshine while the smells and sounds of the season breathe life into the heart of the city. And as soon as people fall in love with the warm weather, summer quickly fades to winter's frozen grasp.
Weathered garden chairs stacked against the wall
A flower pot filled with rain and cigarette butts
sits on the uprooted pavement now swallowed by chervil
Echoes of a nearby party
Fingers digging up sorrel and dandelions
Freshly fallen snow
On a forgotten trampoline
Black currants fall from bare branches, one by one
7.7 oz / 220 gr.

I bought this and the 23 candle from Fischersund. I love their unique, earthy scents, but they both tunneled immediately within an hour of lighting them for the first time. I trimmed the wicks as I usually do, so I don't think there is anything I should have done differently. Unfortunately, the tunneling is so bad for both candles that measures I've taken in the past to correct some unmelted wax around the edges are insufficient here. Even if I re-melt the top layer and extend the length of the wick to compensate for what gets covered by the freshly melted wax, they just begin tunneling again on the next burn. At this price point, the poor performance is a shame.
