Services
Handmade Candles
Our artisan candles are crafted from natural soy wax in various shapes and fragrances. Customers can choose from over 90 scents or request bespoke creations. The non-toxic formula burns cleanly for extended periods, making them safe for homes with children, pets, or allergy sufferers. Each candle is poured by hand in our Cheshire workshop.
Wax Melts
Handmade wax melts come in diverse shapes and scents, offering a flame-free fragrance option. The soy-based formula releases aromatic notes when warmed in our stylish oil burners. Available in seasonal and custom blends, these melts provide an alternative for those preferring non-candle fragrance solutions.
Candle Refill Service
This eco-conscious service allows customers to repurpose existing containers by refilling them with fresh soy wax. We clean and prepare vessels before pouring new candles in chosen fragrances. The service extends product life while reducing waste, aligning with our sustainability commitments.
Autentico Paint
As official stockists, we supply Autentico's premium paint range for furniture restoration. The water-based formula creates shabby chic and distressed finishes on wood and other surfaces. Available in multiple colours, this product supports creative home decor projects with professional-grade materials.
Custom Orders
We create tailored products based on customer specifications, including unique scents inspired by personal memories or special occasions. This service extends to fairy tale-themed candles and unusual fragrance combinations, allowing clients to co-create one-of-a-kind items in our workshop.
