    WHAT'S IT LIKE?

    Cosmic / Heady / Otherworldly

    Before lighting it smells clean, like evergreen woods and citruses, with just a slight hint of florals. Once lit the room is filled with symphony of heady blossoms, rich hinoki wood and just a hint of earthiness from the patchouli.

    12 oz candles, perfect for larger rooms, scent throw up to 9ft.

    8 oz candles, great for smaller rooms, or burning at your desk or coffee table, scent throw 3 ft - 5ft.

    Just so you know, all of our candles are purposely designed to gently enhance your spaces without overpowering them. No headaches here!

    Everything is poured, label & packaged by real human hands so you may notice some slight variations or imperfections.

    While we do our absolute best - we really do - this may include minor imperfections to the surface of the wax, labels that aren't perfectly straight, a smudge etc. None of these things will impact the quality of the candle, or the burn!

    We use 100% plant-based wax without paraffin & non-soy additives and we do not add white dyes. On one hand it gives us a very clean burn with little to no soot or smoke, but you may notice a slight frosting of the surface before burning and some texture & slight discoloration around the wick after.

    THE INSPIRATION

    Inspired by a soundtrack of your favorite Dreamweaver's! The music that soundtracks moments of blissful idleness, where your head is firmly in the clouds. The sound that takes me back to my suburban London upbringing, where you’d find me forever with my headphones on, that feeling of adolescent boredom - always daydreaming.

      Our little 8oz candles are perfect for burning in smaller rooms, or close by such as a coffee table or your desk. They have a scent throw of about 3 - 5ft.

      Our 12 oz candles are more suited for bigger rooms, or if you want a slightly stronger scent throw in a smaller room, these candles throw up to 9ft.

      Whichever size you get, placement does matter. Since we leave out ingredients such phthalates our candles throw best when they make use of the natural airflow in a room!

    • Scent strength is incredibly subjective, but we've tried our hardest to summarize what you can expect from your candle.

      We tend to focus on gently enhancing your spaces, and not overpowering them. We're not in the business of shipping out headaches!

      We categorize our fragrances as either bold & encompassing, or light and airy.

      Our bold & encompassing fragrances are heavier on the base notes. They will feel more noticeable in a room.

      Our light & airy fragrances are more focused on the delicate top & heart notes. They feel more gentle in a room. These are also great for our scent sensitive friends.

      For the best scent experience burn me in a spot that takes advantage of the rooms natural airflow (but not a draft).

      Trim or pinch wick to 5mm before every burn.

      Our 8oz candles are perfect for burning in smaller rooms, at your desk, coffee table & dressers. Without natural airflow they have a scent radius of around 3ft-5ft.

      Our 12oz candles are perfect for larger rooms and those who enjoy a stronger scent. Without natural airflow they have a scent radius of around 6ft-9ft.

    • 1. Set The Mood: This is a moment. Find the soundtrack that matches your fragrance and settle in.

      2. Trim That Wick: Your candle should arrive ready to light but do double check and ensure the wick is 5mm before the first burn. For all future burns trim wick by pinching or snipping away the charred wood until wick is 5mm.

      After lighting the flame height should be no taller than 1 inch in height. If it's taller, flickering excessively, you didn't trim enough!

      3. Have Patience: Let your candle burn until the melted wax has reached (or very nearly reached) the edges of the container - especially important on the first couple of burns. This will stop your candle from tunneling in future burns.

      4. Don't be Silly, Safety First: Never leave a lit candle unattended, and do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time. To protect your surfaces from heat, place your candle on a coaster. Don't burn where children or pets can get them. Don't burn near anything that can catch fire.

      5. Stop Right Now, Thank You Very Much!: Don't burn your candle if only 1/2" of wax remains. Lighting a candle without enough wax can overheat the jar, and will cause it to smoke and may cause it to break or shatter. Plus, with too much heat your fragrance will likely just smell like hot fuel! Urgh.
