My first purchase...I’ve just bought The Library ceramic candle! Wow! It’s an absolutely gorgeous smell!! Not too overpowering but can smell it around whole downstairs of house. I’ve already bought the small plate and diffuser to match! And no doubt be buying more in future! Love, love, love!
This candle is just delicious - it really does smell like Tom Hardy is in your living room reading to you! 10/10! Thank you Chase and Wonder xo
I adore this candle and keep it in my study which is upstairs. When lit, the fragrance (warm and slightly spicy) spreads throughout the top floor of my home and can even be noticed downstairs in the living room, which is immediately off the stairs. It burns cleanly and just looks so beautiful. There are so many average candles around but this one is special both in fragrance and appearance - I cant wait to try the others.
I bought this candle for my daughter-in-law who has really missed visiting libraries and browsing bookshops during this difficult time. She loves the candle: the smell, the way it makes her feel and the fact that it is so beautiful to look at.
We spent many months developing our candles, so that you'd have something that you'd treasure and keep forever. Read more about them below.
We believe candles should be a joy to smell, and fill the room with elegant notes that are so evocative they transport you to a forgotten past, a cherished memory, on an adventure you are yet to take.
So we spent many months perfecting each one of our fragrances so that the final result would be sophisticated, memorable and contain many layers of aroma.
Our candles are not mass produced by factories and machines, they are hand poured in small batches by an expert team of British candle pourers in the traditional and (in our opinion) best way.
Our candles are made with the finest quality eco soy & vegan friendly wax which are infused with a blend of essential oils and premium fragrances.
By making everything in small quantities, we can enusre that all aspects are of the highest quality and to our exacting standards.
Our fine china candle holders are made especially for us and are hand decorated by a small team of expert ceramicists who carefully and meticulously finish each one of them - including 22 carat gold detail (hand painted around the rim).
The team is based a few miles away from us; in the heart of the Potteries:- Stoke on Trent, and is run by a Father and Daughter team, David and Jenny (a family business like us). We love working with them because they care about their craft as much as we do.
Once the candle has melted, you will be left with a beautiful fine China container that you can use over and over again.
Simply wash out any reminents of wax with hot, soapy water and you'll have a beautiful, hand made vessel that you could use to drink from, keep your pens tidy on your desk or use as a vase/plant pot like in the images below:
The vegan friendly soy wax we use is from a sustainable source, and is cleaner burning than other waxes (such as paraffin/mineral wax) and contains no toxins, carcinogens or pollutants which means it's less likely to trigger allergies. We use lead free (cotton) wicks for the same reason.
Soy wax also melts slower than mineral/parafin wax (which is a crude-oil by product), which mean they typically last 30-50% longer than their mineral wax candle counterparts.
Soy wax releases scent easier than paraffin candles to give a richer fragrance throw and 'Pot Pourri' effect when not lit.
The first time you light your candle, we'd advise you keep it lit for at least 3 hours (and away from draughts) so that you get a good even burn. This will prevent any subsequent tunneling.
Ideally you'd trim the candle's wick to around 3mm before you light it.
We'd also recommend burning your candle for 3-4 hours at a time.
Don't let it burn all the way to the bottom, and protect the surface the candle sits on.
Finally, please don't forget that Chase and Wonder candles are particularly social, and like to be given as gifts too.
