Highland Waterfall Hand-Poured Soy Candle | 200g

Step out into the cool air the morning after rain. The world is washed clean. Wet stone underfoot, ferns dripping, the smell of running water and damp earth and something green and alive uncurling from the moss. Highland Waterfall is the scent of that walk, bottled. Open it and you can almost hear the burn of the river over rock, the rush of falling water, the silence between the trees. It is bracing. It is honest. It clears the head in a way no candle has any right to.

A clean, mineral fragrance for clearing the air

This is a clean candle in the truest sense, fresh, mineral, and properly Scottish in its restraint. The opening is cold water and crushed eucalyptus, sharp and elemental, the way the first lungful of Highland air feels in February. Heart notes of green moss and wet bark settle the fragrance into something deeper and more rooted, while base notes of cedar and a faint salt mist hold it all together. Nothing here is sweet. Nothing here is trying too hard. It smells like the place itself.

Hand-poured in small batches in our Portsmouth studio using natural soy wax, Highland Waterfall is 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, a cleaner burn, and a candle that lasts longer than a standard wick would allow. It is a properly made candle, in the way a properly made candle should be.

Fragrance notes
Top: Cold water, eucalyptus, bergamot
Heart: Green moss, wet bark, watercress
Base: Cedar, vetiver, soft salt mist

Why you'll love it

For January resets. When the decorations come down and the house feels heavy, Highland Waterfall strips it back. Light it on the first morning of the new year and the whole place feels lighter by lunchtime.

For a clear-headed home office. If you work from home and need the room to feel sharp rather than soft, this is the candle. No sugar, no spice, just clean air and quiet focus.

After cooking. The eucalyptus and cedar cut through residual kitchen smells faster than any spray. A genuine working candle, not just a pretty one.

As a thoughtful gift for outdoor types. Walkers, gardeners, sea swimmers, anyone who finds their head in fresh air. Highland Waterfall reads exactly right.

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

Highland Waterfall Wax Melts - the same fresh, mineral fragrance in a smaller, faster format. Perfect for the bathroom or hallway.

Made with Essentials: Energy - basil, lemon, orange and spearmint. Pure clarity, in essential oil form, for the days you need everything sharp.

Black Cherry Candle - the evening-in counterpart. Light Highland in the morning, Black Cherry after dark.
