Lime, Basil & Mandarin Luxury Scented Candle

Introducing our undisputed bestseller: the Lime, Basil & Mandarin scented candle — the signature scent that has captured hearts across the UK for its vibrant, uplifting character and refined, timeless elegance. This sophisticated citrus-herb fragrance blends zesty freshness with aromatic green depth, creating an instantly recognisable aroma that feels both energising and luxurious. Hand-poured in small batches in our Buckinghamshire workshop using our exclusive 100% plant-based rapeseed and coconut wax blend, this vegan-friendly and cruelty-free candle is completely free from paraffin, soy, palm oil, beeswax, animal-derived ingredients, or synthetic toxins. It delivers a clean-burning, non-toxic performance with exceptional scent throw and an impressive burn time of 30–35 hours.

Our renewable, biodegradable rapeseed-coconut wax is sustainably sourced — rapeseed from European farms adhering to strict environmental standards, coconut from ethical global practices — ensuring no harm to animals or ecosystems. Never tested on animals and proudly vegan-friendly from every ingredient to the final product, this candle offers superior clean burn quality: even melt pools, minimal tunnelling when properly cared for, virtually no soot, and zero harmful emissions. The result is a premium, eco-conscious candle that elevates everyday spaces with authentic luxury and peace of mind.

The fragrance opens with a bright, invigorating citrus burst that immediately lifts the mood, transitions into a distinctive peppery herbaceous heart, and settles into an earthy, grounding base — a composition inspired by iconic luxury perfumes yet crafted for approachable, daily enjoyment. Customers consistently name this their “go-to” home fragrance because it strikes the perfect balance: fresh and cleansing enough to refresh any room, yet complex and sophisticated enough to feel special and refined rather than ordinary. The zesty lime and juicy mandarin energise and clarify, while basil adds culinary-like aromatic intrigue, and the patchouli-vetivert base provides lasting warmth and depth that lingers beautifully without overwhelming.

Lighting this candle transforms the atmosphere: kitchens come alive with citrus that cuts through cooking odours and herbs that add refinement, living spaces gain fresh, modern energy, bathrooms turn into spa-like retreats, and home offices benefit from the invigorating clarity that boosts focus and creativity. Year-round versatility makes it a standout — bringing sunshine and vibrancy to colder months, while enhancing spring and summer with its natural, garden-fresh appeal. Many return customers say it’s the scent they reach for first when wanting to feel instantly polished, energised, and at home in their space.

This candle is more than a fragrance; it’s a celebration of conscious luxury. Every element reflects our commitment to sustainability and compassion: recyclable amber glass jars that protect the scent and look elegant on display, labels printed on recycled paper, and completely plastic-free packaging. By choosing Lime, Basil & Mandarin, you’re supporting ethical craftsmanship while enjoying a product that performs exceptionally and smells divine. It’s an ideal thoughtful gift — for hosts, new homeowners, wellness lovers, or anyone who appreciates sophisticated scents with a clean conscience.
