Cedar, Vetiver & Patchouli Black Magic Candle

Dads deserve to relax and sink into scent too, so treat yours with the empowering fragrance medley of our Cedar, Vetiver & Patchouli Black Magic candle. Subtle notes of fresh vetiver, a fine ingredient regularly used in cologne and aftershave, blend with the soft balsam wood scent of sandalwood to create a masculine underscore, while a twist of orange and a dash of clove add invigorating spice and freshness. The candle comes encased in a handsome presentation gift box, so it’s the perfect gift for the house-proud dad.

For: Sister

Purple Moods Candle

Sisters can be notoriously difficult to buy for, but you can’t go wrong with a luxurious scented candle. Our Purple Moods candle embodies the qualities inspired by the colour purple; think ambition, energy, devotion, creativity, wisdom and independence – attributes often found in female siblings. The scent combines honeysuckle, lilac, jasmine and amber to create a rich and revitalising feminine bouquet, poured into an elegant purple glass votive that will look perfect on her mantelpiece or coffee table.

For: Brother

Oud Noir Candle

If your brother’s a house-proud bachelor with a stylish and minimal pad to maintain, help him set a tone of masculine sophistication with the Oud Noir scented candle. Oud is an exotic resin which produces a rich, smoky and woody fragrance, reminiscent of far-flung eastern bazaars. Married with the musky depth of patchouli and the spice of cypriol, our oud-scented candle is the perfect pairing for a style-conscious gent. The candle features a fetching black votive that complements a modern and contemporary living space, and is supplied in a luxury presentation gift box.

Inspiring Massage Candle

Treat your man to one of our innovative massage candles, whose jug-shaped design and low melting point allow for a soothing, intimate and nourishing massage.
