This is the fragrance that redefined home luxury. 'Lime, Basil & Mandarin' is a cool, confident blend that combines the sharp, zesty bite of lime with the peppery warmth of basil and aromatic white thyme. It feels like a cool breeze on a hot day—fresh, herbaceous, and instantly revitalising.

🍋 The Scent Journey
This is a complex fragrance that balances citrus with spice:
-
🍈 Top Notes: Lime, Mandarin Orange, and Bergamot.
(The first impression: an explosion of juicy, mouth-watering citrus.) -
🌿 Mid Notes: Basil, Lilac, Iris, and Caraway.
(The heart: a peppery, herbal twist that gives the scent its famous "edge".) -
🪵 Base Notes: Patchouli and Vetiver.
(The lingering trail: earthy and warm, grounding the sharp fruit notes.)
🔥 Why Choose a Wooden Wick?
We have swapped traditional cotton for natural wood to elevate your candle experience:
- 🔊 The Crackle: The gentle snapping sound mimics a miniature log fire, adding an acoustic layer of relaxation.
- 💨 Better Scent Throw: The wider flame creates a larger melt pool faster, releasing the zesty top 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.
