One of Newport's major industries during the 18th century was the production of spermaceti oil candles, which burned cleaner and brighter than traditional whale oil candles. Candle light was essential to life in 18th century Newport, as elsewhere, to provide illumination to complete many required daily tasks once the sun went down. Today, candles are designed to be beautiful and fill the room with wonderful fragrances. The Paddywax Relish candle is in a beautiful upcycled glass jar and makes ones space smell like the salty and refreshing sea air.
