Dark Honey & Tobacco Scented Candle

If you want a candle that feels like a warm hug on a cold night, this is it. 'Dark Honey & Tobacco' is a rich, sophisticated fragrance that balances the sticky sweetness of dark honey with the earthy, spicy depth of cured tobacco leaves and warm amber.

This is a scent with serious presence. It transforms the atmosphere of a room, making it feel cosy, expensive, and safe. Enhanced by a sustainable FSC-Certified Wooden Wick, it creates a gentle, acoustic crackle as it burns, mimicking the sound of a log fire and completing the "gentleman's study" experience.

🍯 The Scent Journey

This fragrance is deep, complex, and lingers beautifully:

🍂 Top Notes: Tobacco Leaf and Spices.
(The first hit: earthy, aromatic, and slightly smoky.)
🍯 Mid Notes: Rich Honey, Iris, and Sandalwood.
(The heart: a smooth, golden sweetness that isn't sickly.)
🪵 Base Notes: Amber, Tonka Bean, and Patchouli.
(The lingering trail: warm, woody, and resinous.)

🔥 Why Choose a Wooden Wick?

We have swapped traditional cotton for natural wood to elevate your candle experience:

🔊 The Crackle: The gentle snapping sound adds an acoustic layer of calm to your space, perfect for reading or relaxing.
💨 Better Scent Throw: The wider flame creates a larger melt pool faster, releasing the deep base notes more effectively.
🌍 Sustainable: Our wicks are sourced from FSC-certified mills, ensuring responsible forest management.

🕯️ Usage Guide: Wooden Wick Care

Follow these tips to get the best crackle and burn time from your candle:

The First Burn: Light the wick across the whole width. Let it burn for 2-3 hours until the wax melts to the glass edges. This prevents "tunnelling" and ensures you use all the wax.

The "Pinch": Before re-lighting, the wick must be short (3-4mm). Wait for the candle to cool, then simply pinch off the black charred wood with your fingers. This keeps the flame clean and steady.

My Recommended Scent Companions

Pair this rich scent with other warm, inviting fragrances:

🥃 Havana Nights Melts: The Masculine Match. Both scents feature tobacco notes, but Havana Nights adds a zesty cologne kick, while Dark Honey is sweeter. They work brilliantly in different rooms of the same house.
🌰 Myrrh & Tonka Candle: The Opulent Pair. If you love the creamy, resinous base of Dark Honey, you will adore Myrrh & Tonka. Together they create a luxurious, "expensive hotel" vibe.

⚠️ Safety Warning
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children, pets, and flammable items. Place on a heat-resistant surface as the glass can become warm.
