“Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness” said Keats and without a doubt Autumn is our favourite season. It's a time for cosy jumpers, log fires, autumn leaves and bonfire night - our Autumn Candle is our nod to the time of the year when we seek to snuggle up in front of the fire with a good book after an Autumnal walk on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

A delicious blend of cedarwood, lavender, and ylang ylang essential oils, each carefully chosen for their therapeutic benefits to create a sense of comfort and invoke a feeling of togetherness and warmth, our Autumn Candle is a gorgeous blend of earthy woodiness and rich florals that are perfect for creating the sense of Hygge we are so passionate about. As an added bonus - lavender essential oil has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties which are released into the air with the fragrance as the candle burns to help protect your home from Autumnal bugs, while cedarwood is traditionally used to deter months! .

Cedarwood (Juniperus Virginiana) Essential Oil

Cedarwood has a rich history dating back to Ancient Egypt, where it was celebrated for its restorative and ritualistic uses. Long valued for promoting positivity, focus, and protection, cedarwood also boasts anti-inflammatory, sedative, and antifungal qualities. This grounding, earthy oil, with its signature smoky, woodsy aroma, is derived from the needles, leaves, bark, and sometimes even the berries of cedar trees. As a natural air freshener, cedarwood helps to deodorize indoor spaces, encourage relaxation, ease tension, clear the mind, and support restful sleep. Plus, cedarwood is a natural insect repellent, making it a handy way to keep moths and spiders at bay!

Lavender (Lavandula Officinalis) Essential Oil

Lavender essential oil is known for its calming, relaxing effects and can be a wonderful natural mood booster, especially helpful for easing stress and improving sleep. Traditionally valued for its healing benefits, lavender oil supports wound care and helps guard against harmful bacteria, offering gentle relief from pain. This is largely thanks to linalool - a naturally occurring compound recognized for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Extracted through steam distillation from lavender plants, this essential oil brings both soothing aromas and wellness benefits into your space.

Ylang Ylang (Cananga Odorata) Essential Oil

Rich, floral, and exotic, ylang ylang essential oil is revered for its mood-boosting and brightening qualities. Known for its immune-boosting properties, it also soothes and reassures by influencing processes in the hippocampus area of the brain and in the serotonin system, which points to an anti-anxiety effect. Traditionally ylang ylang has been used to help release negative emotions, promote positivity and support sleep.

The oils are hand-blended in our studio before being added to sustainably sourced soy wax and infused, then hand-poured in small batches to ensure quality. Beautifully presented in a recyclable clear glass jar with a polished silver lid to keep your candle dust-free, small candles will burn for approximately 15-20 hours, medium for 30 -35 hours, and our large candles for 45-50 hours.

We only use natural soy wax that is sustainably sourced in Europe by our supplier. This means it doesn't contain any palm oils and is environmentally and vegan-friendly.

We don't use any synthetic fragrances, additives, colourings, or scent enhancers - all of the ingredients you see on our labels naturally occur in the essential oils used.

Soy wax can be sensitive to temperature fluctuations and you may notice some frosting on the surface of your candle, which is normal and doesn't affect the fragrance or performance.
On first use, burn small candles for a maximum of two hours and medium/large candles for three to four hours, or until a wax pool that reaches the edge of the container has been established.

Depending on fragrance, a full melt pool may not be established until the second or third burn but don't worry, this is normal as we wick our candles for a slower burn so you can enjoy the fragrance and wellbeing benefits for longer.
We want you to enjoy your candle safety. To get the best out of your candle, always trim the wick to 0.5cm before lighting and ensure any debris, including matches and wick trimmings, has been removed. Always burn candles on a stable surface away from draughts and anything that could catch fire. Always stop burning your candle when 1cm of wax remains at the bottom of the jar to avoid the jar overheating. Never leave a burning candle unattended and always extinguish candles before sleep. Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
We use natural soy wax that is manufactured in the UK by our supplier using soya which is ethically sourced from non-generically modified producers in Europe. It is biodegradable and vegan-friendly. Our supplier has confirmed this wax does not contain any palm oils and does not contribute to deforestation.

We purchase our essential oils from a reputable family business that we have worked with for many years. We only use high-quality vegan-friendly essential oils that are 100% pure and do not contain any additives or preservatives. Our supplier ethically sources each oil from reputable producers and bottles in the UK.

To produce a small amount of essential oils, a large amount of botanical material is required and this can put strain on the sustainability of botanicals used for essential oil production. We avoid using oils derived from the following botanicals which are considered threatened or endangered: Eucalyptus Radiata, Frankincense (Boswellia Scra), Sandalwood (Santalum Album), Atlas Cedarwood (Cedrus Atlantica), Bay Laurel (Laurel Leaf), Rosewood (Aniba Rosaeodora) and Vanilla (Vanilla Planifolia). We do use Cedarwood and Eucalyptus in some of our products but are careful to ensure the varieties used are Eucalyptus Globulus (Eucalyptus) and Juniperus Virginiana (Cedarwood) which are not considered threatened or endangered.

The glass jars and steel lids used for our candles can be recycled. The jars can be repurposed and make great desert jars while the lids are perfectly sized to pop onto drink glasses in the summer to keep out pesky wasps.

We use natural kraft packaging which can be recycled once the label has been removed. Delivery boxes are shredded where possible and reused as packing.

Candles should not be burnt to the bottom and at least 1cm of wax should remain in the vessel to avoid the glass jar overheating. Although our soy wax is biodegradable we recommend donating any unused wax to Beacons Creative which provides employment opportunities for young adults with disabilities and uses donated wax to make fircone lights which are then sold locally.
