🤔 What is [Achilles' Achilles' heel]?
This scented candle is centered around the Greek myth of Achilles. The phrase "𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐬' 𝐇𝐞𝐞𝐥" (literally translated as Achilles' ankle) is commonly used in English, which means "fatal vulnerability":
1) 👶🏻 At birth: Achilles' mother immersed him in the Holy River Styx when he was still a baby, giving him invulnerability. However, at that time, she was holding his heel, which was not protected by the holy water, causing the only weakness in his body.
2) ⚔️ Brave warrior: When he grew up, Achilles became an immortal warrior - he participated in many battles and was famous for his bravery and strength. During the Trojan War, Achilles personally led a group of warriors from his homeland to fight against the Trojans.
3) 💨 Earthly life: Despite trying very hard to keep the secret of his divine power, Achilles' fatal secret was accidentally exposed to his enemies. When the Trojan prince Paris learned the whole story, he shot an arrow at the only vulnerable point in his body - his heel - thus ending Achilles' life.
In order to echo the emotional core of the brand, the designer chose the ending in the myth and used the craftsmanship of a three-dimensional resin statue to remind everyone: "No matter how wonderful life seems to you and me, we all have our own fragile side. Be as strong as Ah When people in Kiris also have weaknesses, why should we be a strong person? In fact, it doesn’t matter if we get tired for a while.” At the same time, the lid of the three-dimensional statue is also used to retain the smell in the cup.

【What does weakness mean to you?】
This special scent can only be found in the earthy fragrance of grass after rain. The unique smell of Petrichor, as it is called, transforms an intangible concept into another intangible olfactory sense, and then presents it in the form of an intangible aroma. This unique earthy aroma, said to be emitted from the soil after rain, was the number one choice in a blind taste test of guest preferences.
【100% soy Wax and wood chip core】
Not only does soy Wax burn cleaner and eliminate black smoke, its melting point is lower than commonly used ordinary paraffin wax, giving you a long-lasting experience. Listen carefully and you will find that the crackling sound of the wood core is the most pleasant sound. Just close your eyes and relax.
⚠️Attention points
➊ The marble texture on each ceramic cup is unique, and the richness of the texture may be significantly different.
➋ The three-dimensional resin statue cover contains craftsman elements and may have minor unavoidable handcrafted imperfections. This should not be considered a defective product.
➌ Please do not use the lid to extinguish the fire, because the resin raw material may deform or produce toxic gases.
