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.
