50°C Violet wax play candle — Cannabis & Cactus
At 50°C, this candle melts into the softest warmth your skin has ever felt — barely hotter than breath, enough to make every nerve awaken without a trace of sting. The violet wax pools slowly, carrying a green, earthy scent of cannabis leaf and raw cactus that turns any room into a quiet somewhere else. Made for first-time wax play and long sensual sessions between couples, it is the gentlest entry point to temperature play — where curiosity leads and trust follows. A single wick keeps the melt pool shallow and controlled, with a subtle shimmer that catches low light as the wax traces across skin. This is how the conversation starts.

""50°C was the first candle I made — everything in the SenseMe range traces back to it. I wanted something that would feel like warm breath across skin: present enough to notice, soft enough to trust. Cannabis and cactus came from scent testing — these were the two notes that settled people rather than excited them. If only one candle ever left this studio, it would be this one.""

Prepare your space
Lay a dark towel or sheet over your surface to catch any drips. Keep a cool damp cloth and a glass of water within arm's reach. Remove anything flammable from the area. Dim the lights — the violet shimmer looks best in low light.
- 02
Light the candle and wait
Place the candle on a stable, heat-safe surface. Light the single wick and let it burn for 8–10 minutes until a full wax pool forms across the surface. Do not rush this step — a complete pool gives a smoother, more even pour.
- 03
Test on your own skin first
Blow out the flame. Drip 2–3 drops on the inside of your wrist from about 30 cm height. At 50°C, you should feel gentle warmth — similar to a warm bath, with no sting at all. If it feels comfortable, you are ready. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, wait 60 seconds and check for any redness.
- 04
Find your distance
Start pouring from 30–40 cm above the skin. At this height, 50°C wax arrives as soft, barely-there warmth. Move the candle closer to 15–20 cm for a warmer sensation. The further the distance, the gentler the landing. Experiment slowly — let your partner tell you what feels right.
- 05
Pour with intention
Tilt the candle gently and let the wax flow in a thin, steady stream. Begin on less sensitive areas — the upper back, shoulders, or outer thighs. Move slowly. Pause between pours. The anticipation between each drop is part of the experience. Avoid the face, hair, genitals, and any broken skin.
- 06
Remove the wax
Let the wax cool and harden for 1–2 minutes. It will peel off in satisfying sheets or flakes. For stubborn spots, use the edge of a credit card or a blunt wooden tool. Applying a thin layer of coconut oil before play makes removal even easier.
- 07
Aftercare
Wipe the skin gently with a warm damp cloth. Apply a soothing moisturiser or aloe gel. Check in with your partner — talk about what felt good, what you'd try differently. Aftercare is not optional. For a complete aftercare guide, see our safety page.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Everything you need to know about our wax play candles, ingredients, and safe usage.
Visit Help CenterYes. At 50°C the wax lands as a distinct, spreading warmth — similar to water in a hot bath. You won't feel a sting or a burn, but every nerve under the skin registers the heat. Most people describe it as deeply relaxing rather than intense. It is the ideal starting temperature if you have never tried wax play before.
This candle is formulated for wax play, not massage — the wax hardens as it cools so you can peel it off. If you want a candle that melts into massage oil, look for a dedicated massage candle with a higher oil content. However, many couples enjoy rubbing the warm wax into skin briefly before it sets, which creates a short massage-like sensation.
The violet dye is cosmetic-grade and washes off skin completely with warm water and soap. On white or very light sheets, faint colour traces can remain after washing. We recommend using a dark towel or dedicated sheet underneath during play. The wax itself peels off most fabrics once cooled and hardened.
It depends on the size and how much wax you pour per session. As a rough guide: the S size (120 g) gives 3–5 sessions, M (165 g) gives 5–8, L (250 g) gives 8–12, and XL (350 g) gives 12–18 sessions. A typical session uses 15–25 g of wax. Longer, full-body pours use more.
The scent is green, herbal, and slightly earthy — imagine the smell of fresh leaves after rain mixed with the dry mineral bite of a desert plant. It is not sweet or floral. The fragrance is subtle while burning and doesn't overpower the room, making it ideal for intimate settings where you want atmosphere without distraction.
50°C is the lowest temperature in our range and the safest option for sensitive skin. The wax is made from a natural soy-paraffin blend with no synthetic fragrances or harsh dyes. We recommend doing a patch test on the inner wrist before your first full session. If you experience any redness or irritation within 60 seconds, discontinue use. People with skin conditions or allergies should consult a doctor first.
