Autumn Seasonal Update

The Season Turns

There’s a moment every year when the season quietly shifts. The air carries a cooler edge, evenings arrive a little earlier, and the familiar comforts of autumn begin returning to everyday life.

It’s the season of preparation.

Stock pots return to the stove, simmering away in readiness for winter soups and slow-cooked stews. Blankets quietly reappear on the sofa. Jumpers find their way back into weekly rotation. Books that have been waiting patiently on the bedside table finally get opened, and the search begins for the next series worth settling into for a few cosy evenings.

Autumn has a different rhythm. Slower. Warmer. A little more centred around home.

For us, it’s also one of the most inspiring seasons when it comes to new fragrances. Something about cooler air, warm kitchens, and those unhurried weekend afternoons often sparks the beginnings of new scent ideas.

And when the kitchen is busy with roasting bones, simmering stocks, or a slow Sunday meal, our Kitchen Candle is going to be working overtime!

A Home That Always Smells Good

As the days shorten and evenings draw in, we naturally spend a little more time at home.

It’s the season of slower evenings, warm lighting, and small comforts that make a house feel welcoming. Candles are perfect for those moments when you want to sit down, relax, and enjoy a scent properly.

But for the rest of the day, diffusers quietly do their work in the background.

They’re one of the easiest ways to keep your home delicately scented all day long. A steady fragrance that greets you when you walk through the door and lingers gently in the air.

Perfect for hallways, living rooms, bathrooms, or anywhere you want that subtle “something smells good in here” feeling.

If candles are the atmosphere of the evening, diffusers are the quiet companion that keeps the home feeling fresh throughout the day.

The Last Ember: Beach Bonfire

Our Beach Bonfire limited edition has officially reached the end of its run.

This candle was designed to capture that final moment of a great summer night: the fire burning low, the sea air rolling in, and the last of the conversation drifting away with the tide.

Thank you to everyone who grabbed one before it disappeared. Limited editions are always a bit of an experiment, and it’s been great seeing this one find its way into so many homes over the past few months.

If you still have one burning, enjoy those final embers.

A Kiwi Christmas Surprise

We’ll admit something.

When we launched Kiwi Christmas, we weren’t entirely sure how it would land.

Our original Christmas candle has always leaned into the Northern Hemisphere tradition: pine trees, spices, and that classic cosy winter Christmas feeling. Here, Christmas smells a little different.

The response to Kiwi Christmas was incredible and it quickly became one of the most talked-about candles we’ve released.

So thank you for embracing that one with us. It turns out Christmas on the beach smells pretty good.

Something Warming Is On The Way

Whilst Beach Bonfire has stopped (uness we can find some replacement scent oils for this discontinued ones to bring it back...) we have been finalising our next Limited Edition.

We won’t give the game away just yet, but we can offer a few clues:

Warm spice
A hint of sweetness
Something dark and comforting
A scent that wouldn’t feel out of place in a dimly lit bar on a cold evening

We’ve just finished the final polish, and looking forward to bringing it to you soon.

Keep an eye on your inbox and socials over the next little while.

Candle Care: Looking After Jar Candles

Our candles live in jars, and a few small habits will make them burn better and last longer.

Let the first burn reach the edge
The first burn should melt the wax all the way to the sides of the jar. This helps prevent tunnelling later.

Burn for 2–4 hours at a time
Long enough for an even melt pool, but not so long that the jar overheats.

Keep the wick centred and trimmed
If the wick leans while the wax is soft, gently move it back to the centre before it sets. And make sure the wick is nicely trimmed before you light it

These simple steps help your candle burn cleaner, throw scent better, and last longer.

Until next time: keep the blankets close, the stock pot simmering, and the candle burning.
