Plum & Rhubarb Hand-Poured Soy Candle | 200g
It is October. The kitchen is warm, the windows are misted, and there is a pan of fruit cooking gently on the back of the stove. Dark plums, just on the turn. Rhubarb, tart and pink, softening into syrup. A piece of cinnamon bark, a pinch of clove. The whole house smells like someone is taking proper care of it. Plum & Rhubarb is that pan, that hour, that feeling. It is the scent of slowing down for the season.
A fruity, lightly spiced autumn fragrance
This is a luxury plum and rhubarb candle for the time of year when the evenings draw in and the body wants something warmer in the air. The opening is bright and unmistakable, ripe plum and tart rhubarb, fresh from the chopping board, with a thread of orange peel running through it. As the candle warms, the heart opens into something softer and more dimensional: a touch of cinnamon, a whisper of clove, a hint of cooked fruit just on the edge of jam.
Underneath, the base settles into something quieter and more grown up, sandalwood, vanilla, and a soft, almost buttery sweetness that keeps the fragrance feeling considered rather than sugary. It is a fruit candle for adults. Hand-poured in small batches in our Portsmouth studio using natural soy wax, it is finished with a premium unbleached cotton wick, intricately interwoven with a delicate paper thread and encased in a protective outer jacket, for a steadier flame and a cleaner burn.
Fragrance notes
Top: Ripe plum, rhubarb, orange peel
Heart: Cinnamon bark, clove, stewed fruit
Base: Sandalwood, vanilla, soft butter
Why you'll love it
For cosy autumn evenings. When the heating goes on for the first time and you want the whole house to feel like it is welcoming you home. Light Plum & Rhubarb an hour before guests arrive and watch them ask, before their coats are off, what you are burning.
For the run-up to Christmas. Warm fruit and gentle spice, without going full mulled wine. A more sophisticated take on the festive candle, for people who want the season suggested rather than shouted.
For a Sunday afternoon. The sort of slow, papers-on-the-sofa, kettle-just-boiled afternoon that deserves a candle. This is that candle.
As a hostess gift. Properly thoughtful, properly British, properly seasonal. Hand-wrap option available at checkout.
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
Plum & Rhubarb Wax Melts - same fragrance, smaller commitment. Ideal for trying the scent in different rooms before scaling up to the candle.
Plum & Rhubarb Reed Diffuser - the same fragrance, working continuously in another room. Layer them through the house for proper depth.
English Pear & Freesia Candle - the lighter, brighter, springtime sister to Plum & Rhubarb's autumn warmth.
