Making

Blended, poured and finished by hand. Small batches, one standard for every vessel.

One studio. A few makers.

Every scent is blended and every candle poured in our studio. The glass and ceramic vessels come from specialist makers. Everything comes back to the studio to be cured, tested and packed.

Four steps.

Blending

Each scent is weighed and mixed by hand from its own recipe, a batch at a time.

Means: the same scent, every time.

Pouring

Wax and fragrance are poured at the right temperature, with the wick set dead centre.

Means: an even melt from the first burn.

Curing

Every candle rests for two weeks before it leaves, so wax and scent can bind.

Means: a fuller scent when lit.

Wick trimming

Wicks are trimmed to length by hand once the wax has set.

Means: a calm flame, less soot.

Burned before it ships.

A candle from every batch is lit and watched, not just weighed.
