Light, crisp and effortlessly elegant, our White Wine Candle is inspired by the refreshing character of a perfectly chilled glass enjoyed on a warm afternoon.
It opens with bright notes of orange and apple, lifted by cooling mint and cucumber, creating a fresh, clean aroma that feels airy and sophisticated from the first burn.
Hand poured and designed to mirror the look and experience of a real glass of wine, this candle is a true sensory statement blending visual artistry with a refined fragrance profile.
Ideal for those who appreciate unique, conversation-starting candles that elevate everyday moments into something worth savouring.

Candle Care & Safety
Our candles may look like your favourite drink, but they’re made to be enjoyed with a match, not a sip. A little care goes a long way in keeping your candle burning beautifully and safely.
Before You Light
Trim the wick to 5mm before each burn to ensure a clean, even flame.
Place your candle on a heat-resistant, level surface, away from drafts.
Remove any decorative elements that aren’t wax before lighting.
While Burning
Allow the candle to melt fully across the top on the first burn to prevent tunnelling.
Burn for no more than 3–4 hours at a time.
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Keep away from children, pets, and anything flammable.
Because It Looks Like a Drink…
Do not consume. As realistic as it looks, this candle is for ambience only.
Avoid moving the candle while the wax is liquid, spills aren’t nearly as fun as they sound.
After Use
Extinguish gently (snuffing is best) to avoid wax splatter.
Let the wax cool completely before relighting or moving.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve colour and scent.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire hazard, injury, or damage.
