Two candles chosen to be lit after dark — oud and jasmine, both scents that read heavier and quieter than anything you would burn at breakfast.
Highlights
✓
Two full-size candles, each the same vessel Caftari sells individually at $58 — not travel tins or samplers.
✓
Nidra is built on jasmine — a heady, night-blooming floral rather than a fresh one, which is what makes it a bedroom scent instead of a living-room scent.
✓
Scent of Nirvana is oudh — resinous, smoky and dry. It gives the pair its floor, and it is the one that lingers in a room after the flame is out.
✓
Unlike the oud-and-rose pairing, these two sit close enough together to burn in the same space — jasmine over oud is a combination, not a clash.
✓
Glazed ceramic vessels rather than glass jars — both are worth keeping on a nightstand once the wax has burned down.
The two-candle sets in this range differ by intent rather than by size. This one is deliberately narrow: both scents are dark, both are resin- or floral-heavy, and both belong at the end of a day rather than the start of one — buy it if the bedroom or a reading corner is where these are going to live. The oud-and-rose set pairs Scent of Nirvana with Dolce Far Niente instead, which gives you two scents for two different rooms and two different times of day. What you get here is a matched pair of well-made ceramic candles that smell like evening.
In the box: one Scent of Nirvana candle and one Nidra candle, both full size in glazed ceramic vessels. Trim each wick to roughly a quarter inch before lighting, keep the wax pool clear of trimmings, and never leave a lit candle unattended. No wax type, burn time or net wax weight is stated for the candles in this set, and no vessel dimensions are published — contact us if you need any of that confirmed before ordering.
