Poison Apple Soy Candle (apple, sugar, poison)

Fragrance notes: apple, sugar, poison

The task to create a most irresistible apple fragrance was no small feat, but this is it, with quite simple ingredients at that. All this recipe takes is a large copper cauldron over a roaring fire, a bushel of assorted apples from a dark orchard, heaps of brown sugar, and finally, into the bubbling cauldron, poison will go! (*Suggested poison tinctures include: Poison Hemlock, Bitter Nightshade, Foxglove, Oleander, or Lily of the Valley). This concoction creates the most sinfully divine and addictive candied apple aroma to ever exist. Take an imaginary bite from the poison apple and enjoy this wickedly sweet aroma of crisp apples and caramelized sugar.

Snow White succumbing to the Evil Queen’s murderous plot and being tricked into eating a poison infused apple is one of the most memorable scenes from the German fairytale Snow White written by the Brothers Grimm. It took the queen four attempts to kill Snow White. The poison apple finally did the trick, temporarily anyway. This fragrance is inspired by this infamous poison apple, an apple so mouthwateringly tempting that it persuaded Snow White to drop her inhibitions of strange peddler women- even after barely surviving several failed assassination attempts by such women.
