Story

You stumble through the dark forest clutching your brother’s hand. The breadcrumbs you scattered to guide your way home are gone, and the last of the daylight is rapidly dwindling. The path has vanished, the cold bites, and hunger gnaws at you both. Then, from up ahead comes drifting a faint, sugary aroma, and you glimpse through the trees the beckoning windows of an unusual cottage.

Scent description

A low-sweetness, woody-gourmand fragrance with dominant scent notes of almond, marzipan and rosewood.

Top notes of neroli and almond give rise to a delicate, nutty-floral opening. The scent develops into a gourmand heart of magnolia, quince and marzipan, evoking the aroma of a witch's cottage. Base notes of rosewood and resin ground the scent in a dry, woody finish.

Top Notes: Neroli, Almond
Heart Notes: Marzipan, Magnolia, Quince
Base Notes: Rosewood, Resin

♢ Allow a full melt pool to form on each burn to prevent tunnelling.
♢ Burn no longer than 4 hours at a time.
♢ Remove wick trimmings and other debris from the wax pool.
♢ Keep away from draughts and flammable objects.
♢ Keep out of reach of children and pets.
♢ Never leave a burning candle unattended.
♢ Extinguish with a snuffer or gently blow out to minimise smoke.
♢ Snuff out your candle when less than 5mm of wax remains in the jar.
