Orb of Divinity Soy-Blend Candle | Shadow of Desire

Kindred Black was founded in 2015 by Alice Kindred Wells and Jennifer Black Francis and maintains its studio in Brooklyn, New York. The founders left fashion-industry roles to build a business around lower-waste packaging and artisan production. Their collections pair beauty products with carefully chosen objects for the vanity and home, emphasizing thoughtful materials and lasting personal value.

The Shadow of Desire pairs a layered home fragrance with a rounded glass vessel and a separate spherical lid. The scent combines resinous, citrus and spice impressions, while the dark glass makes the unlit candle a sculptural object in its own right. The orb is solid glass rather than a hollow cap, so leave room for it on a stable surface when the candle is in use.

The maker identifies a soy wax blend, natural-fiber wicks and natural aromatic materials, but does not publish a complete wax or fragrance formula. The scent-note list describes the fragrance experience; it is not a full ingredient or allergen statement. If a particular ingredient matters to your purchase, obtain the complete formula information before ordering.

The finished candle is poured in Brooklyn, New York, and the glass vessel and lid are hand blown in Chicago, Illinois. These are product-specific U.S. manufacturing statements. The countries supplying the raw wax, aromatic materials and glass inputs are not separately documented.

Before lighting, shorten each wick to 1/4 inch and remove trimmings or other debris from the wax. Set the candle on a stable, nonflammable, heat-resistant surface away from moving air. Follow the maker’s burn interval of at least one hour and no more than three hours at a time; extinguish sooner whenever safety requires it.

Keep the flame in sight and away from children, pets and anything combustible. Do not add water or other substances to the wax. Leave at least 10 cm between lit candles. Stop using the candle when 1/2 inch of wax remains. Let the vessel cool fully before moving it. Remove the glass lid before lighting and give it a secure resting place during use.

For additional background, read the National Candle Association’s candle safety guidance. Follow the instructions supplied with this candle for its specific burn limits.

Measure a display area that allows room for the full 7.5-inch height and the separate orb. The rounded lid needs a secure resting place where it will not roll or be knocked over. Position the candle where it can remain undisturbed for the entire burn and cooling period. The stated 68-hour average is a maker estimate, not a guaranteed result for every setting.
