    Lime, Basil & Mandarin Scented Candle

    This is the fragrance that redefined home luxury. 'Lime, Basil & Mandarin' is a cool, confident blend that combines the sharp, zesty bite of lime with the peppery warmth of basil and aromatic white thyme. It feels like a cool breeze on a hot day—fresh, herbaceous, and instantly revitalising.

    This is the ultimate "clean" scent, perfect for kitchens, hallways, or anywhere you want to create an atmosphere of modern elegance. Enhanced by a sustainable FSC-Certified Wooden Wick, it adds a gentle, acoustic crackle to the experience, making your home feel not just expensive, but cosy too.

    🍋 The Scent Journey

    This is a complex fragrance that balances citrus with spice:

    • 🍈 Top Notes: Lime, Mandarin Orange, and Bergamot.
      (The first impression: an explosion of juicy, mouth-watering citrus.)
    • 🌿 Mid Notes: Basil, Lilac, Iris, and Caraway.
      (The heart: a peppery, herbal twist that gives the scent its famous "edge".)
    • 🪵 Base Notes: Patchouli and Vetiver.
      (The lingering trail: earthy and warm, grounding the sharp fruit notes.)

    🔥 Why Choose a Wooden Wick?

    We have swapped traditional cotton for natural wood to elevate your candle experience:

    • 🔊 The Crackle: The gentle snapping sound mimics a miniature log fire, adding an acoustic layer of relaxation.
    • 💨 Better Scent Throw: The wider flame creates a larger melt pool faster, releasing the zesty top notes more effectively.
    • 🌍 Sustainable: Our wicks are sourced from FSC-certified mills, ensuring responsible forest management.

    🕯️ Usage Guide: Wooden Wick Care

    Follow these tips to get the best crackle and burn time from your candle:

    The First Burn: Light the wick across the whole width. Let it burn for 2-3 hours until the wax melts to the glass edges. This prevents "tunnelling" and ensures you use all the wax.

    The "Pinch": Before re-lighting, the wick must be short (3-4mm). Wait for the candle to cool, then simply pinch off the black charred wood with your fingers. This keeps the flame clean and steady.

    My Recommended Scent Companions

    Pair this zesty scent with other fresh favourites:

    • 🥥 Seychelles Candle: The Summer Duo. Both fragrances feature Bergamot and Orange, but while Lime & Basil is sharp and herbal, Seychelles is warm and creamy. They cover every summer mood.
    • 🛁 Fresh Linen Melts: The Crisp Home. If you love a house that smells "just cleaned," combine the citrus punch of this candle with the airy breeze of Fresh Linen melts.

    ⚠️ Safety Warning
    Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children, pets, and flammable items. Place on a heat-resistant surface as the glass can become warm.
