Pirum is the Latin word for pear; it refers to the edible fruit that grows both in summer and in winter. Belonging to the Rosaceae family, it has two distinct origins: the common pear tree (Pyrus communis L.), or the Chinese pear tree (Pyrus sinensis). Typically narrow at the stalk and wider towards the base, the pear comes in a range of colours: green, yellow, red and more surprising even, black. The scented candle depicts this juicy fruit: its sweet, slightly gritty flesh is both firm and voluptuous.
