-The Tale:
In the heart of Italy, you find yourself in a quaint wood shop with a living marionette carved from an enchanted piece of wood. The puppet, named Pinocchio, tells you his adventures of being such a wonderfully obedient son to his father, Geppetto, when suddenly, his nose begins to grow. You don't remember the tale going quite that way, so you ask the little puppet to tell you the real story. Pinocchio's nose returns to its normal length as he tells you the truth and describes running away from home, being retrieved by Geppetto, and being scolded by a Talking Cricket, whom Pinocchio accidentally squished to death with a mallet out of anger. Pinocchio tells you he became caught up with a Fox and a Cat who attempted to steal from him and then hung him from a tree. But it was with the help of the beautiful Fairy with Azure Hair that Pinocchio learns how to be obedient. However, led astray once more, the marionette finds himself swallowed by the terrible Dogfish, where he finds Geppetto, who had been living in the fish's stomach for two years. Pinocchio rescues his father, thus proving himself loyal to Geppetto, and the Fairy with Azure Hair kisses him on his wooden head and turns him into a real boy. 

-The Fragrance:
Inspired by the original tale by Carlo Collodi entitled, "The Adventures of Pinocchio," "Geppetto's Workshop" will transport you to Geppetto's cozy abode with top notes of cedar and toasted vanilla, mellowing into a rich, warm heart of smoked woods, brûléed brown sugar, pine, sandalwood, and finishing with amber resin and clove. Imagine the soft fragrance of freshly cut lumber and the subtle smokiness of a fire roaring in the hearth mingling with bold, sweet toasted vanilla and brown sugar that come together to make you feel like you are surrounded by Geppetto's beautiful hand-carved wooden creations. 

As with all of our tale-inspired candles, this fragrance is our unique blend that you can’t find anywhere else.

-Fragrance Strength: moderate, room-filling yet not overwhelming, atmospheric and warm

*Please note that this information is based on our own in-house evaluation of the hot throw (the strength of the candle when it is burning). We rigorously test each fragrance to perform to our strict performance standards for achieving a strong hot throw. Each scent is assessed after the candle has been burning for 2 hours. Please keep in mind that the perception of fragrance strength is subjective and each individual has differing sensitivities to various fragrance notes. 

-The Label:
Designed and hand illustrated by J.R. Cueto and owner of Tottlemeyer’s Corner™, J.R. Perry, the label for “Geppetto's Workshop” takes advantage of what Perry has dubbed, “Panoramic Illustrative Storytelling;” the story unfolds before your eyes from left to right, just like a real book. 
The leftmost illustration depicts Geppetto joyfully holding his beloved Pinocchio by the marionette controller. The center illustration portrays Pinocchio's nose growing as he tells his first lie, with a small cameo from his friend, a talking cricket. Behind the lattice window, one can see the faint outlines of a quaint tudor-style workshop. Finally, the rightmost picture shows the Fairy with Azure Hair as she kisses Pinocchio, making him into a real boy.
