This June, we're celebrating stories of identity, resilience, and love.
Throughout the month, all our literary-inspired candles are 10% off - and more importantly, 50% of our profits will be donated to the Switchboard LGBTQIA+ Support Line, a vital charity that's been offering a safe space and support since 1974.
Light a candle, honour a story, and stand with a community that continues to inspire.
🏳️🌈 Pride is more than a month. It's a story still being written.
There’s a kind of story that doesn’t shout. It lingers. It unfolds slowly, like sunlight over a field or the quiet shift of seasons. Meadow Verse is a scented candle made for those stories. Ones rooted in place, full of observation and quiet emotion.
It blends meadow lily and cotton musk with pear and freesia. Fresh, soft, and open. It’s the scent of countryside mornings, pages turning in silence, and a character walking a well-worn path with something unspoken on their mind.
This vegan candle pairs beautifully with the calm clarity of Hardy, Montgomery, and Burnett, or contemporary voices like Raynor Winn, Tove Jansson, and Sarah Perry. If you’re drawn to introspective prose and landscapes that breathe with the story, this one’s for you.
The candle comes in a sleek, tapered container designed for both style and function. Its balanced size allows the fragrance to gently fill your space without overwhelming it, offering a quiet, lasting presence that fits effortlessly into any room.

OMG. Absolutely L-O-V-E my Wildflower Vows candle. The idea of immersion through scent is brilliant!

The gothic candle is my favourite. I even started reading Wuthering Heights. The package came with a little wax-stamped letter with book recommendations.

Got 2. One for me and one for my mother-in-law. Both candle + packaging are superb

I bought one as a gift but honestly, it smelled so great I almost kept it for myself! Beautifully made and such a gorgeous scent. I’ll definitely be ordering again. Small suggestion: I'd put the recommendation card inside the candle box. It's better for gifting.

The first thing I noticed was the air. Not the book, not the words, but the shift in the room when I lit the candle. Smoke, oud, and sandalwood. Dry, heavy, no sweetness. It felt like the kind of air...
Some books don’t even need to try that hard to hook the readers. Secret societies. Magical artefacts. Bookshops with basements. You had us at "hello." We’re counting down the days until the release of The Society of Unknowable Objects by...
Musk isn’t showy or overpowering, but it’s one of the most essential notes in fragrance. Soft and warm, also skin-like, it brings balance and depth to everything it touches (or blends with). This post explores how modern musk smells, how it’s used in blends, and why it shows up in Wax & Words favourites like Meadow Verse and Witchwood Tales.
There is something magically comforting about the way a candle can shift the mood of a room by the soft release of its fragrance (it is part of the Danish hygge after all). The way everything seems to soften and...
