Black Cherry Hand-Poured Soy Candle | 200g

There is a particular kind of evening when the light goes soft and the day finally stops asking things of you. Black Cherry is for that hour. Deep, ripe, just on the edge of indulgent, it is the scent of a kitchen in late summer where someone has been baking quietly for hours. Almond on the wooden table. Vanilla rising from the oven. A bowl of dark fruit, glossed and waiting. It does not announce itself. It draws you closer.

A rich, gourmand fragrance with depth

This is a luxury black cherry candle for people who want their gourmand scents to feel grown up. The opening is unmistakably cherry, bright, juicy, full of orchard sunlight, but it is the underneath that holds you. Warm almond folds in within minutes, soft and slightly toasted, the way the air smells when frangipane is just turning golden. As the candle settles, the deeper notes find their place: rich vanilla, a thread of tonka bean, and the merest whisper of smoke that keeps the whole thing from tipping into sweetness.

It is the kind of fragrance that fills a room without ever crowding it. Hand-poured in small batches in our Portsmouth studio using natural soy wax, it burns slowly and evenly, the way a properly made candle should. Each one is fitted with a premium unbleached cotton wick, intricately interwoven with a delicate paper thread and encased in a protective outer jacket, designed to give a steadier flame, a cleaner burn, and a longer life than a standard wick allows.

Why you'll love it

For autumn evenings in. When the clocks go back and the windows fog up, this is the candle to reach for. Light it an hour before dinner and the whole ground floor softens.

For a quiet bath. Set it on the windowsill, run the water deep, and let the cherry and almond do the rest. Pairs beautifully with our Lavender bath salts when you want the full ritual.

As a luxury Christmas candle gift. Cherry, almond and vanilla are the holy trinity of festive baking. Light this in early December and the house starts smelling like the season before you have lifted a finger. We can hand-wrap it for you at checkout, ready to gift.

For the friend who already has everything. Black Cherry is unexpected, properly grown up, and reads as effortlessly thoughtful. The kind of present someone keeps on the mantelpiece long after the candle has burned down.

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

Black Cherry Wax Melts - same fragrance, lighter format. Try the wax melt first if you want to test the scent before committing to the candle.

Plum & Rhubarb Reed Diffuser - for layered fruit-and-spice depth across the room, day and night.

Highland Waterfall Candle - clean, mineral, and bracing. The morning-after to Black Cherry's evening-in.
