Fragrances

Oakmoss + Teakwood: A rich, earthy scent with a calm, grounding feel. Warm teakwood and oakmoss lead into subtle spice and depth, settling into notes of amber, musk and vetiver.

Champagne + Roses: A light, sparkling floral that feels effortlessly elegant. Bright citrus and orange blossom open into soft rose notes, with a smooth finish of musk and sandalwood.

Tonka + Vanilla: A warm, comforting scent with an indulgent edge. Sweet vanilla and tonka are layered with gentle spice and almond, rounded out with a subtle touch of tobacco flower.

Gardenia + Neroli: A fresh, radiant floral that feels light and uplifting. Orange blossom and grapefruit open into soft white florals, finished with a smooth blend of musk and sandalwood.

Coconut + Lime: A bright, tropical blend that feels fresh and invigorating. Zesty lime and bergamot open into juicy coconut, sugarcane and soft tropical fruit, grounded by a light, earthy touch.

Melon + Cucumber: A fresh, juicy scent that feels crisp and refreshing. Ripe melon and cool cucumber open into soft florals and peach nectar, with a light touch of jasmine and musk.

Basil + Mandarin: A fresh, vibrant scent with a crisp, herbal edge. Citrus and basil are layered with thyme, herbs, and a hint of spice, finishing with soft, cedarwood.

Optional Gift Upgrades

For an extra special touch, you can upgrade your order to our gift set which includes an apothecary bottle of matches and a packet of Coleus seeds. So that once the candle has been enjoyed, the jar can be cleaned and reused to grow the seeds, creating a lasting reminder of the occasion long after the candle has burned.

Or you can choose the gift hamper upgrade which includes all of the above, as well as a relaxing red mandarin bath bomb so they can enjoy a calming bath with their new candle, and a box of wax melts with a stunning green striped scalloped ceramic wax melt burner all in a gift ready hamper.
