LIMITED EDITION • A magically haunting 19" candle that's a stunning work of art by day and an ethereal beauty at night. When lit, this surreal sculpture will cry tears of dripping wax—making it a darkly elegant weeping bust that is, literally, illuminating. Unscented. 

PRODUCT DETAILS

This candle is unscented. It is 16 lbs. 7oz. and measures 16.5"H x 9.5"W. It will arrive in a box that is 19.5"H, 11.75"W and 10"D.

Heretic Founder/Perfumer Douglas Little has created a work of art in collaboration with the wildly talented sculptor George Sellers. Unified in their love of the surreal and dream-like, the duo wanted to create an otherworldly sculpture intended to infuse a touch of magic into a strait-laced world.

Inspired by George's classical training in Italy, we challenged him to play with the idea of creating what seems like neoclassical bust, but that upon further inspection, harbors a fantastical surrealist secret—her waxy flood of tears. When lit, this beautifully haunting candle will cry tears of dripping wax, making it an ethereal and darkly elegant beauty that is, literally, illuminating. A stunning work of art by day and a haunting weeping beauty when lit at night, she keeps us guessing and fantasizing about her story and her secrets. Who is she? A mythical creature from the Greek or Roman canon? Or a rebellious Heretic defying established orthodoxy? If you look carefully enough, will she tell you?

Miles P. ★★★★★

It’s 19 inches of pure dark elegance, and the way the wax streams down like actual tears when lit is just mesmerizing. I’ve had mine burning for a few evenings now, and it’s honestly the creepiest, most beautiful centerpiece I own.

Jacob R. ★★★★★

The dripping wax really does look like the bust is crying, and it casts the most dramatic shadows once the flame gets going. It's the kind of piece that makes my living room feel like a scene from a gothic novel, and I'm almost sad to burn through it since it's such a limited run.

James ★★★★★

It's morbidly beautiful sitting unlit on my shelf, but the real show starts when I light it—the wax drips down the face like slow, silent tears. The 19-inch height makes it a proper centerpiece, and it genuinely feels like a piece of art rather than a novelty candle.
