About the Candle
A candle is a beautiful and simple object that provides light and fragrance. It is made by melting wax and pouring it into a container, where a wick is placed in the center.
When lit, the heat of the flame melts the wax near the wick, which is then drawn up the wick and vaporized to fuel the flame.
Candles come in a wide variety of colors, scents, and shapes, making them perfect for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in any room.
