The scent, in full
Strawberry and black currant open bright and juicy — the tartness of black currant keeping the strawberry from being too innocent. Sugar in the heart makes it warmer, thicker, almost edible. Vanilla and musk pull it close to skin: soft, creamy, the kind of warmth you want to stay in.
Indulged. Like you have given yourself something nice for no reason. The emotional equivalent of eating something delicious alone — and not sharing.

Full policyCandle care
Light it right and it'll burn clean and even:
First Burn: Let the wax melt all the way to the edges, about 2–3 hours. This sets the candle's memory and prevents tunnelling.
Trim the wick to ¼ inch before every burn - long wicks cause smoke and uneven burning.
Don't burn more than 4 hours at a stretch; past that the wax overheats and the fragrance dulls.
Stop when ½ cm of wax is left to protect the jar.
When you're done, the jar's yours - scoop out the leftover wax (warm water helps), peel the label, reuse it.
Read the Burn RitualNotes
The scent opens in three parts.
Top notes
Strawberry · Black Currant
Heart notes
Sugar
Base notes
Vanilla · Musk
The top notes are the first impression. The heart is the body of the scent. The base is what stays longest.
When to light it
Best lit after 8 PM.
A night in, just for yourself.
Why this hour
Atmosphere
What it changes in the room.
“The air turns dessert-sweet — close, warm, and just indulgent enough.”
Indulged. Like you have given yourself something nice for no reason. The emotional equivalent of eating something delicious alone — and not sharing.
Cold throw · Hot throw
In the jar. In the room.
A candle has two scents — the one waiting in the jar, and the one that fills the room once it burns. Every Pavos batch is tested for both.
Cold throw
The first impression before the flame.
What you smell when the lid comes off — on the shelf, in your hands, before the flame. The opening notes, cool and unburned, hinting at where the candle will go once it's lit.
Hot throw
The scent once the wax begins to melt.
The full character of Private Dessert, carried across the room by a warm wax pool. As the wax melts, the scent opens to its complete depth and reaches well beyond the jar — and it holds from the first burn to the last, not just the first ten minutes.
Tested through the whole burn - so it's still there when the room actually needs it.
