Alpine Rose – the scent of the Alps
When the slopes of the Alps glow crimson up to the tree line in May and June, the flowering season of the ALPINE ROSE has begun or is nearing its peak. Folklore has attributed a wide variety of sometimes contradictory properties to the heather plant known as the alpine rose (Almrose): superstitious mountain hikers would throw their bouquets of alpine roses away if a thunderstorm approached for fear of being struck by lightning. North Tyrolean farmers, on the other hand, nailed alpine roses to the ridge beams of their farmhouses to protect them from "thunder and lightning." In the language of flowers of the Romantic era, 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 meant to promise future happiness. The delicate, sweet scent of this candle is intended to recall that incomparable, intimate feeling of first love.
Tiroler Reine – Scented Candle
Like the Tiroler Reine soaps, the Tiroler Reine scented candle is produced at the Walde manufactory in Innsbruck, as the Walde family looks back on a long tradition of soap making. Candles have been handcrafted here for generations. The basis for these wonderful, naturally pure candles consists of pure beef tallow from Tyrolean Grey cattle, as well as high-quality sunflower and beeswax. With great care and sensitivity, the candles are made entirely by hand, the wicks are inserted, and the liquid wax is poured by hand into the elegant glasses. The candles diffuse the scent of the Alps finely and unobtrusively for many hours.
To ensure the scented candle burns for as long as possible, it should remain lit each time until a small pool forms around the wick. This way, it will burn all the way down over a burn time of approx. 50 hours, leaving only a small rim of wax on the glass. Before relighting, it is advisable to trim the wick to 1cm in length with scissors so that the candle does not soot. To extinguish it, the burning wick is briefly dipped into the wax with a spent match; this avoids the smoke that occurs when blowing it out, and the scent of the alpine rose lingers in the room for a long time.
