Our craft

Four steps, no shortcuts

Each batch is small enough to pour by hand. It takes about three weeks from blending to your door.

  1. 1

    Blend

    Fragrance oils are weighed to a 9% load and folded into a coconut-soy wax at 85 °C, where the scent binds best.

  2. 2

    Pour

    We pour at 60 °C into warmed frosted glass around a centred cotton wick, so the top sets smooth.

  3. 3

    Cure

    Candles rest for 14 days. Curing lets the wax and fragrance settle, which gives a fuller scent throw when lit.

  4. 4

    Finish

    Wicks are trimmed to 5 mm, oak lids fitted and tags tied by hand before each candle is packed.

Candle care

Four numbers for a longer burn

Follow these and your candle will burn evenly to the last centimetre.

3hrs

First burn

Let the melt pool reach the glass edge the first time you light it. This stops the wax tunnelling.

5mm

Trim the wick

Trim before every burn. A short wick gives a calm flame and a clean glass.

4hrs

Longest burn

Blow it out after four hours and let it cool for at least two before relighting.

1cm

Stop here

Stop burning with 1 cm of wax left, then bring the jar back for a refill.
