Inside you’ll find:
1. Melomakarono (Honey & Blessed) Home Candle 200g
The Melomakarono Candle is inspired by the traditional Greek Christmas dessert melomakarono, which is culturally associated with honey and walnuts. Aroma of it is primarily evoked through its spices. In particular, nutmeg, together with cinnamon and other warm notes, is widely recognized in perfumery as the key element that recreates the authentic melomakarono scent experience. This is why nutmeg appears in the base notes.
A tribute to Greece’s most beloved Christmas treat — the melomakarono, a soft cookie soaked in honey and spiced with cinnamon and clove.
Named after meli (honey) and makaria (blessed), it’s more than a scent — it’s a feeling: the warmth of family, the glow of festive nights, the soul of Greek hospitality. Let it fill your space with a golden, nostalgic aura of comfort and celebration.
HEART NOTES: Spiced Syrup | Cream Honey Biscuit | Cinnamon
Top NOTES: Lemon Peel | Warm Baked Dought | Peach Nectar
BASE NOTES: Vanilla | Tonka Bean | Musk | Nutmeg

How to Use
Melomakarono (Honey & Blessed) Candle:
- Ariadne Athens’ candles are hand poured with soy wax and unleaded wicks.
- To prevent damage, make sure to trim the wick to 5-6 mm. before each burn. This helps keep the flame steady, reduces soot, and ensures a cleaner, more even burn. Place the candle on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, ideally on a tray or candle holder.
- For the first burn, allow the candle to remain lit until the entire top layer has melted evenly. This creates a full melt pool and helps the candle burn consistently every time.
- For the best candle performance, allow the wax pool to completely liquify, extinguish and let cool.
Precautions: Never leave a burning candle unattended or burning for more than 4 hours at a time. Keep away from drafts, children, pets and all flammable materials.
Cocoa Shower Gel:
Apply a small amount onto wet skin or sponge, lather gently, and rinse thoroughly. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
