Skull Topper & Candle Vessel

The Skull Topper & Candle Vessel is a refillable candle vessel with a beautifully macabre finishing touch: a removable skull topper designed to sit above the flame and keep the piece looking sculptural between burns.

Designed to hold our Rose from the Dead Candle Refills, it brings together candlelight, fragrance and a little everyday theatre. The scent is rich, dark and romantic — rose, leather, tobacco and warm woods — like flowers left somewhere they probably shouldn’t be.

The removable topper helps reduce tunnelling, encourages a more even burn and keeps the vessel looking beautiful between uses, hiding the messier stages of melted wax while adding a final skull-shaped flourish when the candle is not in use.

When your candle has finished burning, allow the vessel to cool, then place it in the freezer for 15–20 minutes. Any remaining wax should release easily, leaving the vessel ready for your next Rose from the Dead Candle Refill — or another suitable refill of your choice.

Pair it with the matching Skull Match Striker to complete the ritual. Designed as companion pieces, the two sit beautifully together: one to hold the candle, one to strike the flame, both turning a small everyday act into something far more memorable.
