Ar Lan y Môr was the first blend I ever made, back in November 2020. It's named after one of Wales's best-loved folk songs.
I wanted to capture walking or running the north Pembrokeshire stretch of the Coast Path, where the sea air mixes with the plants on the clifftops. There's nowhere in the world like our coastline, and I wanted a scent that brings you back to it, wherever you are.
The oils
- Bergamot: bright and sunny, long used in aromatherapy to lift the mood
- Lime: zesty and fresh, like a sea breeze
- Cypress: green and woody, traditionally used for its grounding qualities
- Sweet fennel: sweet and herbal, once believed to bring courage
- Basil: clean and peppery, an aromatherapy favourite for a fresh start

Our ethical promise
Our ethical promise
I make every candle myself, here in north Pembrokeshire. Each one is my own sustainable plant wax blend of soy, sunflower and olive nut oil waxes, scented with my own blends of pure essential oils. That's all. No synthetic or 'nature-identical' fragrance, no petroleum or paraffin, no palm oil and no colouring. Coincidentally, they're vegan too.
I pour them into tins rather than glass because tinplate can be recycled forever, which isn't true of many candle jars. My tins are made specially for me in London, using solar power, by one of the very last tin makers in the UK.
Burning & candle care
Burning & candle care
1. On the first burn, let the wax melt right to the edge of the tin. This stops the candle tunnelling.
2. Trim the wick to about a quarter of an inch (5mm) every time you light it. My candle wick trimmers make this easy.
3. Burn for no more than two to four hours at a time.
4. Keep it out of draughts so it burns evenly.
5. Once it's cool, wash the tin and pop it in your recycling, or keep it for buttons, seeds or pens.
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Keep it away from children, pets, curtains and anything that can catch fire.
Stand it on a heat-resistant surface. The tin gets hot, so don't move it while it's lit or the wax is liquid.
Burn it in a well-ventilated room and make sure animals can leave the room.
