Shakespeare Inspired Botanical Wax Melts

Shakespeare Inspired Botanical Wax Melts

Colour white

Within the infant rind of this weak flower, poison hath residence and medicine power:
For this, being smelt, with that part cheers each part; being tasted, stays all senses with the heart.
Two such opposèd kings encamp them still
In man as well as herbs—grace and rude will;
and where the worser is predominant,
full soon the canker death eats up that plant
Act Two Scene Three – Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

Lottie's Lit

Lottie's literary thoughts about this product

Shakespeare’s works immerse us in a world where plants were essential to everyday life—whether for cooking, medicine, brewing, or decorating the home. Households in Tudor England were deeply reliant on botany, and Shakespeare often reminded his audience of nature’s profound influence, far beyond its simple beauty. From the flowers and herbs woven into his plays to the symbolism of plants in his poetry, he skillfully explored their power to heal, harm, and shape human lives. 

Welcome to our Shakespeare Inspired Botanical Wax Melt Collection- an ode to Shakespeare's profound knowledge and appreciation of botany and its great importance in every day life in Tudor England.

Pretty Little Melters

I love this idea of having your chosen scent in a melt that you will use because the others are just too gorgeous to use! That bring said, I think these are still really pretty and there is definitely no compromise on scent!
