Aha, tvm, but ideally I was after something to put in the garden, rather than something to

apply to the person. Googleage threw up an outdoor candle thingy, in a terracotter pot, but it was c?80.00 so f**k that.

Something like one of them big outdoor candle things with a massive wick would be good, but I can't find anything.
