Forest Stories brings the tranquility of the forest into your home. Inspired by shinrin-yoku, the Japanese practice of forest bathing, it’s the one to reach for when you want to slow down and simply breathe.

Black spruce and fir needle give this blend its cool, green heart, smelling like the air beneath tall evergreens on a still winter morning. Both are known for their cleansing, refreshing qualities. Juniper berry and petitgrain add lightness.

Frankincense and Cedarwood bring depth. Their calm, grounding woodiness really comes into its own when the candle is lit, with a little vetiver and benzoin underneath to soften the edges.

Light it at the end of a busy day, breathe, and feel your shoulders drop.

Top notes: Petitgrain, Juniper berry, Black spruce

Hand poured in in our Derbyshire based workshop using plant wax and pure essential oils.

180ml candle. Around 30 hours burn time.

How to use

For the best results, allow the wax to melt fully to the edges of the vessel each time you light your candle. This is particularly important during the first few burns, as it prevents tunnelling from forming in the centre of the wax. Plan for around four hours of burn time to achieve this.

Between each burn, trim the wick to 5mm to help your candle last longer and maintain a clean, even flame.

For best results, do not burn your candle for more than four hours at a time and ensure it is never left unattended whilst lit. Keep away from children and pets at all times.

When only 1 cm of wax remains, it is time to retire your candle.

Ingredients Explained

Our candles are poured with a natural blend of rapeseed and coconut wax which provides a clean burn. Vegan friendly, cruelty-free, GMO-free and biodegradable, it is quite simply the most environmentally responsible choice we could make.

Scented exclusively with essential oils, each candle carries a gentle aromatherapy quality, bringing the kind of natural, therapeutic warmth that only pure essential oils can offer.
