Premium soy wax scented candles in elegant gift boxes. Soy is the detail that matters: it burns cooler and slower than paraffin, so the candle lasts longer and releases fragrance gradually instead of in one strong hit. Boxed as they come, they are a gift with no wrapping required.

Buying guide
Trim the wick to about 5mm before every burn — a long wick is what makes a candle smoke and tunnel down the middle. Let the first burn run long enough for the wax to melt to the edges, which sets the pattern for the rest of the candle. Keep it out of draughts and away from curtains.
How it compares
Against paraffin candles, soy lasts longer and scents a room more gently. Against a diffuser, a candle gives light and warmth as well as fragrance, with supervision required. Against LED candles, this is real flame and real scent.
