An exquisite candle with the most wonderful, natural, scent. So delighted have now bought the larger version.
I haven't lit any of the candles yet so I can't review how they perform but they all smell lovely. I keep going to take the lids off to smell them and try to decide which I like best. I think The Library is my favourite so far. I have given five stars for the personal service and speed of delivery and beautiful scents.
I’m giving this review 5 stars because honestly the candle is lovely, and the presentation is wonderful. However, I don’t personally love the smell, it must remind me of something in my childhood and it’s just not for me. However, I’ve had all my flatmates sniff it and they absolutely love it so it’s probably my weird sense of smell. Aside from that, this seems like a lovely company and it’s nice to purchase from smaller independent companies in the midst of a pandemic. I think I’ll try other candles in their range!
Unusual and classy candle. Very clever scent and perfect for a book-loving friend going through a tough time. Excellent customer service too.
We spent many months developing our candles and the fragrances within them - 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.
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 only burning your candle for 3-4 hours at a time.
Finally, please don't forget that Chase and Wonder candles are particulary social, and like to be given as gifts too.
