Sustainability in every flicker

Light up your world - Sustainably!

Welcome to our candle oasis in Hertfordshire, where luxury meets eco-friendly living. We're a small, female-owned business passionate about proving that sustainability and luxury can go hand in hand. Each of our candles is lovingly hand-poured in small batches using natural soy wax and infused with non-toxic, premium fragrances—no harmful chemicals here!
Our elegant matte glass vessels come in soothing shades of muted pastels. They're not just beautiful; they're reusable! After your candle has burned bright, plant wildflowers in them with our seed paper dust covers and watch them grow. Plus, for every order placed, we plant a tree. Yes, really!
