Whilst we do advise which oils are in each candle, we understand it is still hard to make a choice if you have smelt them before. Therefore we offer tealight sample candles so that you can see try before committing to a full-size candle purchase. You can order a tealight sample of any of our essential oil or seasonal collection for £1 each and if you decide to purchase we will refund your sample against a larger candle.

We feel this offers customers a unique experience to try before you buy.

Our essential oils are premium therapeutic grade oil. These are not man-made manufactured fragrances, but the actual oils harvested from their respective plants by steam distillation or cold pressing. The gentle benefits of the oils are released on the candle burning, and we use a very high percentage of oil within our candles – just enough to not degrade the function of the wick or the wax. Our range is made up of our bespoke blends, these are not pre-mixed.

We only use 100% natural rapeseed wax for our essential oil candles, rape seed is a plant wax that is sourced in the UK, and is GM free (genetically-modified) . The rapeseed wax is completely free of the pollens that can cause allergic reactions during the early weeks of May when the rape flowers, and burns long and pure when used in a candle. It is totally natural, and for us, it is the obvious choice for essential candles – nothing is totally soot -free but these candles rarely make any soot, and they do burn clean, all you should be left with is an empty glass (except for the wickwell) and a lovely smell!

We use natural cotton and linen wicks across our essential oil candle and seasonal collection ranges.
