Chartreuse | UV Green Paraffin

Acid · Sharp · Luminous
Hand poured by El · Pure paraffin · Made in Australia

Acid green with a monastery's name.

The colour is named for Chartreuse, the green liqueur Carthusian monks have made in the French Alps since the 1700s. It's a sharp yellow-green in daylight, sitting next to Electric.

Hit the UV and the green goes luminous, reading more like a signal flare than a colour, bright enough to pick out every line from across the room. A sharp bite on contact, then a quick bloom of heat.

The paraffin keeps the green vivid and opaque, so it cuts clean against darker layers or a base of Onyx. It sets with a soft sheen, holds every ridge, and lifts off in clean sheets.

For the Scene Artist who wants the loudest colour in the room.

How to Use:

Light the candle. Once the wax starts to melt around the base of the wick, tip parallel and test the first drops on your own forearm before the canvas. Avoid inverting the candle, hold parallel to the canvas and rotate in the hand to melt wax evenly. Height controls temperature. Higher is cooler, lower is hotter. Build from there, one deliberate drop at a time.

Safety:

Formulated for wax play. Keep away from eyes, face, broken skin and hair. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Trim the wick between sessions. Consent and communication before the first drop, always.

Paraffin retains heat longer than soy. Never let it pool on the skin, as pooled wax can run significantly hotter than the stated melting point and risks burns. Don't apply oil underneath this wax.
