70°C Purple wax play candle — Vanilla & Tobacco
At 70°C, a wax play candle stops asking and starts telling. The wax hits skin and your body responds before your mind has a say — a sharp, involuntary intake of breath, then heat spreading outward like a hand pressing down. This is the temperature people come back for. The deep purple wax carries vanilla and tobacco in the same breath — something sweet dissolving into something rough, a scent that contradicts itself the way intensity and tenderness can exist in the same moment. Three wicks keep the pool deep and ready. Not for the uncertain. Made for people who already know what they are looking for.

""This is the candle people come back for. 70°C is intense — the wax hits skin and your body responds before your mind catches up. Vanilla and tobacco was a deliberate contradiction: something sweet and something rough, in the same breath. I made this for the people who already know what they want.""

- 70°C melting temperature.
- Wax type
- Natural soy-paraffin blend
- Scent profile
- Vanilla bean first — warm, round, almost edible — then a dry tobacco leaf undertow that pulls the sweetness sideways into something denser and more complex. Not a dessert candle. More like the smell of a leather chair in a room where someone was smoking hours ago. The vanilla is the inhale, the tobacco is the exhale. It clings to skin and fabric longer than any other scent in the range.

Prepare with care
Lay a dark sheet or towel beneath you. Have a cool damp cloth, water, and aloe gel within reach — not across the room, within arm's length. Agree on a safeword and a non-verbal stop signal (a double tap works if speech is difficult). At 70°C, preparation is not ritual — it is safety infrastructure. Remove jewellery from the area that will receive wax.
- 02
Light all three wicks
Place the candle on a stable, heat-safe surface at least 30 cm from any fabric or flammable object. Light all three wicks. Wait 8–10 minutes for a full, even pool. The triple-wick design produces a deep pool quickly — this gives you sustained pouring capacity. Do not blow out one wick to reduce heat; instead, control temperature through distance.
- 03
Patch test — every time
Blow out the flames. Drip a single drop on the inside of your wrist from 25 cm. At 70°C, expect an immediate, sharp sting — more pronounced than 65°C, lasting about two to three seconds before resolving into radiating heat. If this feels like too much on the wrist, it will feel like too much everywhere. Do not proceed until both of you are comfortable with what you felt. Re-light when ready.
- 04
Distance is everything
Begin from 30–35 cm. At this height, 70°C wax cools enough mid-air to arrive as intense warmth with a strong edge. Move to 20–25 cm for a sharp, defined sting. Below 20 cm, the wax arrives near full temperature — this range is reserved for broad muscled areas only, with explicit and ongoing verbal consent. At 70°C, every centimetre of distance changes the experience. Move the candle in continuous arcs. Never hold still over one spot.
- 05
Pour deliberately
The three-wick pool gives you enough volume for sustained lines. Use this: long, sweeping pours down the back, across the shoulders, along outer thighs. At 70°C the wax sets fast on contact — you are painting, not dripping. Avoid the face, hair, genitals, inner arms, ribs, spine, and anywhere skin is thin over bone. Read your partner's body: controlled stillness is trust, a flinch is a signal to increase distance or pause.
- 06
Remove the wax
Wait 3–4 minutes for the wax to fully harden. Purple wax lifts off in vivid, dramatic sheets. The colour contrast against skin is striking — many people photograph the patterns before peeling. For thin patches, use a credit card edge. Coconut oil applied before the session makes removal smooth. Wash fabric in warm water immediately — purple dye on white fabric needs prompt treatment.
- 07
Aftercare — do not skip this
Wipe the skin gently with a warm damp cloth. Pink or red marks at 70°C are normal and typically fade within 30–60 minutes. If any area remains red after an hour, apply aloe gel and cool compress. Talk through the session together — what intensity was right, where the line was, what to explore next. Aftercare at this temperature is not optional, it is the practice. For comprehensive aftercare protocol, see our safety page.

Questions
Everything you need to know about our wax play candles, ingredients, and safe usage.
Visit Help CenterYes, when used by experienced practitioners with proper technique. 70°C is the entry point to the Blaze tier (advanced). The wax is body safe — the same natural soy-paraffin blend used across the SenseMe range. The risk at this temperature is thermal, not chemical: pour from too close and the heat is significant. Maintain 25+ cm distance, always patch test, agree on a stop signal, and never use this as your first wax play candle. See our full safety guide.
Yes. Without exception. 70°C assumes you have experience at 50°C, 55°C, and ideally 60–65°C over multiple sessions. Each temperature teaches something — distance control, body-area awareness, reading your partner's signals, aftercare. Jumping to 70°C without this foundation puts you at risk of a painful experience that discourages you from the practice entirely. The 50°C Violet or the Duo Holy Intimacy set are where to begin.
Start at 30–35 cm — further than you might expect. At this distance, the wax cools in the air and arrives as intense warmth with a firm edge. At 20–25 cm, the sting is sharp and immediate. Below 20 cm, the wax hits at near-full temperature and should only be used on muscled areas with explicit ongoing consent. At 70°C, distance is your primary safety tool. Always move in continuous arcs and never hold still over one spot.
The sting at 70°C is faster and sharper — it arrives without warning and your body reacts involuntarily. At 65°C, you feel the sting build over two seconds. At 70°C, the sensation is immediate: a flash of heat, then a deep warmth that spreads and radiates for several seconds longer than at lower temperatures. The experience is less about individual pours and more about cumulative intensity — each successive line of wax builds on the heat already in the skin.
The wax itself is formulated to be body safe at its stated temperature. However, technique matters. Pouring from less than 15 cm, holding the candle still over one spot, or applying wax to thin-skinned areas (inner arm, ribs, face) at 70°C can cause discomfort beyond what is pleasurable and may leave marks that take longer to fade. Proper distance, continuous movement, and clear communication prevent this. This is why we recommend building to 70°C gradually through the SenseMe temperature range.
Warm vanilla bean opens first — round, almost edible. Then a dry tobacco leaf undertow pulls the sweetness into something denser. It is not a dessert scent. Imagine the smell of a leather armchair in a room where someone smoked hours ago. The vanilla is the inhale, the tobacco is the exhale. This scent clings to skin and fabric longer than any other in the SenseMe range — expect traces for several hours after use.
