Echte Weihrauchkerzen Schwarz translates as Original Incense (or Frankincense) Candle Black. It's original, as it is one of the recipes of the company's founder, Carl Jager, from 1897; candle is the German term for cone, and black as that is the colour. I've just burned the company's Red, which appears to be the same cone, but with a coating of a delightful fragrant red powder. I prefer the Red because of the extra fragrance from the powder. This Black cone is a little too simple for my taste - it just smells of coal burning. Nice, warming, and comforting, but doesn't rock my boat.
Available for 1.70 Euros from Carl Jager, and at various German online stores. There are no automatic means to buy online from Carl Jager, but if you make up a list of what you want, and send an email to mail@jaegers-raeucherkerzen.de, they will calculate shipping costs and invoice you.

Hey Steve, the writing is Syttalin, it reads "Echte Weihrauchkerzen". Weihrauch in this context can mean "incense" in general, but also frankincense.
ReplyDeleteYes, you're right - I have it on the invoice that came with the cones. It looks like I cut and pasted the name from the website, and removed the first and last characters as I did so. (My browser automatically translated it, and I couldn't remember how to turn the translator off, so I took the wording from the url without paying close attention).
