There's a certain evening at the end of summer, still warm, around 20 degrees, when the first rain comes and you have instantly switched into autumn mode. You're not cold yet, but you want to be. You want jumpers and dark evenings and a fire going, weeks before any of that is acceptable.
Embers is for that evening and the season that follows. It's the smell of a log fire in a room, smoky and warm, the smell you get on your fingers after you've reached in to move a burning log. Birch and juniper give it the crackle and the sharpness of woodsmoke, and underneath there's cade wood and amber, rich and warm, the part that lingers after the flames have died down.
It's heavy and it fills the room within minutes. If you don't have a fireplace but you want your living room to smell like you do, this is the one. And if you do have one, it still holds its own next to it.
Made in Sussex and hand poured in small batches.
Candle Care
Candle Care
Trim the wick. Your candle arrives trimmed and ready. Before each burn after that, trim the wick to 5mm. A shorter wick means a cleaner, steadier flame.
The first burn matters most. The first time you light it, let it burn for three to four hours, until the melted wax reaches the edge of the vessel. Wax has a memory. Get this first burn right and the candle burns evenly to the end. Cutting the first burn short will result in tunnelling down the middle, wasting both wax and scent.
Keep sessions under four hours. Any longer and the wax overheats, which burns off the fragrance and shortens the life of the candle.
Away from draughts. Burn on a level, heat-resistant surface, out of any breeze. Draughts make the flame flicker, which causes smoke and soot.
Stop at 5mm. When the wax burns down to the last 5mm, retire the candle. Burning below that isn't safe for the vessel or the surface it sits on.
Keep the vessel. Every one is made to be kept. Clean it out and give it a second life however you like, and for some batches and sizes we offer refills. Get in touch and we'll sort you out.
