The inspiration for the play “M. Butterfly” (not to be confused with Madame Butterfly which is a totally different thing), Shi Pei Pu was a Beijing opera singer, a beguiling spy and a deceitful lover. Delicate and otherworldly, Shi rose above the racism, sexism and imperialism of their time, embracing a fluidity that wouldn’t become familiar, recognized nor accepted until decades later.
A generous 11oz. poured in small batches in the US, our candles are made of domestically grown soy wax with organic cotton wicks. Rest assured that they have no dyes, preservatives or additives, and are phthalate-free.
