The Gentleman
The details
Citrus, sage and cedarwood. Smells like someone who irons things.
A candle in a whiskey tumbler. No whiskey, no peat, and no story about a Highlands distillery we have never been to.
Citrus and sage keep it clean. Musk and cedarwood keep it warm. It smells like a room somebody has actually tidied. When the wax is gone you've got a proper tumbler. Use it for whiskey. Or water. We're not your dad.
Good for: Dad, the father-in-law, and the bloke who has everything and still says “don't get me anything.”
Notes: 🍋 Citrus · 🌿 Sage · 🪵 Cedarwood and musk
265g gel wax in a reusable whiskey tumbler, 40+ hours. 8% fragrance oil, hand-poured in Sydney. We list the wax, not the glass.
“Effortlessly masculine” is what everyone else writes. It smells good and the glass is nice. That's the whole pitch.

How far it travels
3 of 5
You'll notice it walking into the room, not from the hallway.
Every candle we pour is 8% fragrance oil. What changes is how far that scent gets. Citrus lifts and fills a room fast. Coffee and amber sit closer and hang around longer.
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.
