Know which scent you want but can’t decide on size or style?
A Short Guide to Candles, Tealights & Diffusers
I make seven essential oil blends for home scent here in my small studio, each offered in a variety of forms: 180ml candles, 120ml travel-size candles, 500ml three-wick jars, sets of twelve tealights, and reed diffusers.
Each format brings a space to life in its own way. This simple guide will help you choose the one that suits your home and your habits best.
180ml jar candles
Tried and true
The classic single-wick jars are the heart of the range. They burn evenly for many hours and suit almost any room size. If you like to light a candle most evenings, this is the one to keep on hand: a calm, consistent companion.
Three-wick candles
For the drama
Three-wick candles burn brighter and release more scent, using more wax in each burn. They’re ideal if you love a full fragrance in a large space, or simply want the beauty of three dancing flames. For regular use or smaller rooms, our single-wick candles offer the same fragrance in a more economical form.
Tealight candles
For the whimsy
Are they practical? Not really. Are they adorable? The most adorable. Tealights are for a joyful treat or a special gift — to dot around a bath, or a book nook, or anywhere you’d like to feel truly cocooned and cared for.
Travel size candles
For pockets or packing
Ideal for those who travel often, these small jars bring a little familiarity and comfort to otherwise soulless hotel rooms, or to any space that could use a touch of home.
Reed diffusers
The constant companion
A steady, no-admin scent. Once set up, the reeds quietly scent a space for weeks, needing only the occasional turn.
I have discovered that there’s something very welcoming about a reed diffuser in the right spot. I keep one by my sofa all the time and being greeted by the fragrance that’s already in the air when I sit down in the evening is beautifully reassuring.
Diffusers are perfect for hallways, bedrooms, or anywhere a gentle, constant presence feels right.
