A scented candle gift set in soybean wax, presented in a decorative box. Soy wax is the detail worth knowing: it burns cooler and slower than paraffin, so the candle lasts longer and throws scent more gently through a room instead of in one strong hit at the start. Boxed as it comes, it needs no wrapping to be a present.

Buying guide
Trim the wick to about 5mm before each burn — a long wick is what makes a candle smoke and tunnel. Burn it for at least an hour the first time so the wax pool reaches the edges, which sets the pattern for the whole candle. Keep it out of draughts and never leave it burning unattended or near curtains.
How it compares
Against paraffin candles, soy burns longer and cleaner with a gentler scent throw. Against a reed diffuser, a candle gives light and warmth as well as fragrance, though it needs supervision. Against LED candles, this is the real thing — scent and flame, with the care that implies.
