Description
This handmade vegan candle was designed by Yousif, a young refugee originally from Sudan and now supported by the British Red Cross, at a workshop with the candle company Ohros.
With notes of lemongrass, eucalyptus, rosemary and lavender, its invigorating feel takes Yousif back to childhood memories of drinking fresh lemon juice in Sudan.
