Alpine Rose – the scent of the Alps
When the slopes of the Alps glow crimson from May to June, even above the treeline, the flowering season of the ALPINE ROSE has begun or is approaching its peak. Various, sometimes contradictory, properties have been attributed to the heath plant alpine rose, also known as Alpenrose, Donnerrösl, or Almrausch, by common folklore: Superstitious mountain hikers would throw their alpine rose bouquet far away if a thunderstorm approached, for fear of being struck by lightning. North Tyrolean farmers, however, nailed alpine roses to the ridge beams of their farms to protect them from "thunder and lightning." In the floral language of Romanticism, it is the symbol of lovers. If a secret admirer brought his beloved an alpine rose, it meant "When will we see each other again?" and was supposed to promise future happiness. The delicate, sweet scent of the soap is intended to evoke this incomparable, intimate feeling of first love.
Tiroler Reine – Scented Candle
The Tiroler Edle Zirbenkerze (pine candle), like the Tiroler Reine soaps, is made in the Walde manufactory in Innsbruck, because the Walde family can not only look back on a long tradition of soap making, but candles have also been handcrafted here for generations. The basis for these wonderful, all-natural candles is pure beef tallow from Tyrolean Grey cattle, as well as high-quality sunflower and beeswax. With great care and feeling, the candles are made purely by hand, the wicks are inserted, and the still liquid wax is poured by hand into the beautifully shaped glasses. Fine and unobtrusive, the candles spread the scent of the Alps for many hours.
For the pine candle to burn as long as possible, we recommend letting it burn until a small hollow forms around the candle wick. This way, it will burn down completely over approximately 50 hours, leaving only a small wax rim on the glass. Before re-lighting, it is advisable to trim the wick to 1 cm with scissors to prevent the candle from smoking. To extinguish the candle, our tip is to briefly dip the burning wick into the wax with a burnt match; this prevents smoke from forming, as it would when blowing it out, and the pine scent will linger in the room for a long time.
