The details
Pre-order $49 (normally $59). Ships from 31 October. Free wax melt with every pre-order.
For the friend who's running on empty.
Work, kids, deadlines, the group chat that never stops. She keeps saying she'll "have a quiet night soon". She won't, unless someone hands her one.
This is that night, in a box. A hand-poured Sydney Sunset candle — orange, lily and amber, the last warm hour of the day in a jar. A box of 100% natural Stupa incense. A bar of Himalayan soap. Light, breathe, shower, sleep. That's it. That's the gift.
Sound familiar?
- She's impossible to buy for? Everyone needs calm. Nobody buys it for themselves.
- Worried about strong smells? The incense is 100% natural and mild, and the candle is warm and soft, not a sweet bakery scent.
- Want it to look like you tried? It arrives boxed and gift-ready with a handwritten card.

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.
Sending it straight to them? Put their address in at checkout. We leave the prices out and write your card by hand.
