Yasmin Sewell: style guru, culture shifter, verified cool girl. We first encountered Sewell’s undeniable aura many moons ago, across the runway at Paris Fashion Week, and have been fans since. Her evolution into holistic healing—she is now a practitioner of Reiki and Integrative Quantum Medicine™—signaled the arrival of a new wavelength, and we’re here for it. For VIOLET LAB, it was an instant obsession with Sewell’s sustainable fragrance line, Vyrao. So much so that our curators requested a slice of the magic exclusively for ourselves—and our discerning customers. Sewell delivered. Big.

Meet the Witchy Large Candle, designed for “someone who is unafraid to go deep,” said Sewell. The four-wick, almost black, violet candle is housed in a sinuous porcelain vessel. Notes of Moroccan orris, thorny rose, frankincense, pepper, and cinnamon give off a woodsy, floral musk that inspires courage and creativity. “For me, Witchy is rich, earthy, wild, elegant, and out of this world,” Sewell told us. We were confident the Committee of Industry Experts would agree.

“The perfect mood setter—and the perfect addition to any home in need of a little grounding. Once lit, it gives off a very soothing scent.”

“I was already a huge fan of Vyrao incense, so when I saw the candle in its gorgeous vessel, I knew I was going to love it. The four wicks fill a room with a heady but not overwhelming scent, and it lasts for ages. I’ll be keeping the dish as a catch-all in my hallway once it's empty.”

“Besides the beautiful, one-of-a-kind scent, the sheer scale and design make this candle worthy of any table.”

With the VIOLET LAB and Committee veritably obsessed with this statement-making vibe shifter, Vyrao’s Witchy Large Candle is officially VIOLET CODE APPROVED and has earned a place on THE SHELVES (and our coffee tables).
