After The Storm Hand-Poured Soy Candle
There is a particular kind of stillness after rain. The air is washed clean. The pavement gives off that unmistakable smell of warm stone and wet earth. Leaves drip. The world feels rinsed and ready. After The Storm is the scent of that exact moment, the held breath between weather and sun, when everything outside has been quietly put right.
A fresh, atmospheric fragrance with mineral depth
This is a luxury after the rain candle for people who want freshness with proper character. The opening is unmistakably petrichor, that earthy-mineral scent of wet ground meeting warm air, lifted with bergamot and a thread of cool ozone. The heart settles into damp moss, fresh geranium and a faint green sharpness, like crushed leaves underfoot. As the candle warms, the base reveals soft cedar, gentle amber and a quiet musk that gives the fragrance its grounding.
Hand-poured in small batches in our Portsmouth studio using natural soy wax, finished with a premium unbleached cotton wick, intricately interwoven with a delicate paper thread and encased in a protective outer jacket. The result is a steadier flame and a cleaner, longer burn than a standard wick would allow.
Fragrance notes
Top: Petrichor, bergamot, ozone
Heart: Damp moss, geranium, green leaf
Base: Soft cedar, amber, quiet musk
Why you'll love it
For spring mornings. Throw the windows open and light After The Storm. The damp-earth freshness amplifies that first proper spring day feeling, when the world remembers how to be green.
For a fresh start. First day in a new home, first day of a new chapter, the morning after a difficult week. This is a candle for clearing the air, literally and otherwise.
After cooking or cleaning. The mineral, ozonic top notes neutralise residual smells faster than most candles, leaving the room feeling properly aired.
As a gift for someone who finds most candles too sweet. After The Storm is unmistakably grown up. No sugar, no spice, just clean weather and quiet earth. Properly sophisticated.
The details
• 200g hand-poured soy wax candle
• Approximately 35 hours of clean, even burn
• Premium unbleached cotton wick, paper-threaded and jacketed for a steadier flame
• White glass vessel, fully reusable
• Phthalate-free, vegan, cruelty-free
• Hand-poured in small batches in Portsmouth, UK
The ritual
For the best burn, light it for two to three hours the first time you use it, allowing the wax to melt fully to the edges of the glass. This sets what's called a memory pool and means your candle will burn evenly every time after. Trim the wick to 5mm before each lighting. Keep the candle away from draughts, and never leave it burning unattended.
Pairs beautifully with
After The Storm Wax Melts — same fragrance, lighter format. Ideal for the bedroom or bathroom where you might not want a candle burning.
Highland Waterfall Candle — push the freshness further with cold water, eucalyptus and Scottish minerality.
Sea Salt & Wood Sage Candle — the coastal, herbaceous counterpart for layered freshness across the home.
