What is the origin of "Achilles' Heel"?
The phrase "Achilles' Heel" originates from the Greek myth of Achilles, a central figure in the Trojan War. According to legend, Achilles was the son of the sea nymph Thetis and King Peleus. To make him invincible, Thetis dipped him into the River Styx, which granted him extraordinary strength and resilience. However, she held him by his heel during this process, leaving that part of his body untouched by the magical waters.
As a result, Achilles became a legendary warrior, renowned for his prowess in battle but with one critical vulnerability: his heel. This weakness ultimately led to his downfall. In the Trojan War, he was killed when Paris, aided by the god Apollo, shot an arrow that struck his heel.
The term "Achilles' heel" has since evolved to represent a person's singular weakness or vulnerability, especially in the context of an otherwise strong or powerful individual. It serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility that exists even in the mightiest of heroes.
The Unique Scent
Coined as "Petrichor", the soothing scent captures the refreshing aroma of morning rain on wet soil, creating a uniquely tranquil atmosphere. With its earthy and soothing notes, petrichor transforms your environment, creating an inviting atmosphere that connects you to the beauty of the outdoors, making it a perfect choice for those seeking a distinctive and relaxing sensory experience.
The Eco-Friendly Touch
The scented candle features an eco-friendly wood wick and is crafted from 100% natural soy wax. The wood wick not only provides a clean and sustainable burn but also creates a gentle crackling sound reminiscent of a cozy fireplace, enhancing your relaxation experience. Soy wax, derived from renewable resources, burns longer and cleaner than traditional paraffin, ensuring that you enjoy the captivating scent of petrichor without harmful emissions.
A Thoughtful Gift
Despite its classy art box, this scented candle serves as a gentle reminder of resilience and healing. It encourages self-care and offers a peaceful retreat, allowing the recipient to take a moment for themselves amidst the chaos. By gifting this unique candle, you not only offer a beautiful item but also extend a gesture of support and understanding, making it a meaningful gift that resonates deeply with those in need of comfort.
To enhance your gift, we offer a personalised laser engraving service on the cap, allowing you to add a unique touch that makes it truly special. Whether it’s a name, a meaningful date, or a custom message, this personalisation transforms a practical item into a cherished keepsake.
Directions for Use
- Before lighting your scented candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This helps prevent a large flame and reduces soot.
- Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, flammable materials, and direct sunlight to ensure an even burn.
- Use a long lighter or match to light the wick, taking care to keep your fingers at a safe distance from the flame.
- Allow the candle to burn for at least 1-2 hours during its first use. This helps create a full melt pool, preventing tunneling and ensuring an even scent distribution.
- When you’re ready to extinguish the scented candle, use a candle snuffer or gently blow it out. Avoid blowing directly on the wick, as this can cause wax splatter.
- When not in use, keep your scented candle covered or in a cool, dry place to protect it from dust and moisture.
- Always supervise a burning candle and never leave it unattended. Keep it out of reach of children and pets to ensure safety.
Attention
- The marble pattern on each container is unique and its richness varies.
- The statue cover contains craftsmanship, which might lead to minor and inevitable faulty bits. They shall not be considered as a faulty item.
- ❌ Do not put out the fire by using the statue cover as the resin material may deform or release harmful gas.
- The packaging box, which is also designed as a decor display base, does not hold tightly when closed. It is ribbon-wrapped for securing position. When taking it out, always hold the bottom and place it on a levelled surface before untying to open it.
- If the box needs to be carried around, please wrap it tightly and keep it levelled at all time to avoid shattering the statue inside the box.
