Scent

Top Notes: Bergamot
Heart Notes: Lily of the Valley, Fruity Notes
Base Notes: Woody, Sweet, Musky Accords
Concept
For many, Al-Aqsa holds a quiet gravity – a place shaped by centuries of prayer, passage, arrival and return. Its significance is layered, carrying traces of what has come before.
This scent takes its cue from these layers. Bright bergamot lifts the opening, clean and lightly citrus, before softening into a gentle floral heart with a subtle sweetness. As it settles, frankincense and myrrh emerge through warm, woody and musky notes, giving the fragrance its earthy resonance.
Light it when the day feels crowded and you want to remember that you are part of something older, wiser and still unfolding.

Each candle is tested to ensure a clean, steady burn and reliable performance in everyday use.
Craft and Materials
We use only plant-based soy wax for a clean, even burn and a gentle, steady flame.
The wicks are made from unbleached cotton with a fine paper thread woven through to help the flame burn evenly. They are manufactured in Italy and finished in Scotland, where they are waxed and shaped to exacting standards.
Each wick carries the RAL Quality Mark (GZ 041), a European standard for burn quality, safety, and freedom from harmful substances. This means the flame burns evenly, produces minimal soot, and behaves reliably over time.
The candle is housed in fully recyclable Italian glass designed specifically for candles.
Sustainability
We carefully choose materials that last, are safe, and have minimal environmental impact. We never use more than we need.
