For the one who looks after everyone else first.
She answers every message. Remembers every birthday. Hasn't had ten quiet minutes to herself since about 2019.
This box gives her those ten minutes back. The candle's lit. The incense curls. The phone goes face down, and she takes the long shower with the good soap. We pour the candle ourselves in Sydney. The incense and soap are handmade by small makers in Nepal.

How to get 40 hours out of it
Almost every weak candle complaint is a first burn that got cut short. Five minutes of attention on day one and the whole jar burns clean to the glass.
- 1
Trim the wick to 5mm. Every time. A long wick smokes, and smoke isn’t a scent.
- 2
First burn, go long. Two to three hours, until the melted wax reaches the glass all the way round. Soy has a memory. Cut the first burn short and it’ll tunnel down the middle forever.
- 3
After that, two to three hours a go. Four is the limit. Any longer and the jar gets hot and the scent goes flat.
- 4
Wick drifting sideways? Nudge it back with a teaspoon while the wax is soft.
- 5
Snuff it, don’t blow it. Blowing flings soot across the wax and makes the room smell like a birthday party that went wrong.
Our 30-day promise
Don't love it? Tell us within 30 days and we'll pour it again in a different scent, or refund you in full. Either way you keep the first one.
What it's made of
Soy wax, a cotton wick, 8% fragrance oil, a glass jar. Nothing else. No paraffin, no dye, no lead in the wick.
Non-toxic, but it is still an open flame: flat surface, away from curtains and the cat, out before you leave the room, and stop at 1cm of wax left.
Shipping & returns
Free shipping on orders over $95. Under that it’s a flat rate calculated at checkout. Or pick it up free at Paddington Markets on a Saturday or Bondi Markets on a Sunday.
