Autumn, or Hydref in Welsh, is woody, smoky and warm, like a bonfire or seasoned logs on an open fire. No mists and mellow fruitfulness here. It's the contrast of woody warmth and cold air, glowing embers and crisp leaves underfoot.

The Gwaun Valley is one of our favourite autumn walks, with colourful, crunchy leaves underfoot and on the trees above. At home, I burn this because at the moment there's no wood burner, and it makes the room feel far cosier.

As with all my woody candles, the scent is a little softer when it's burning than when you sniff it cold in the tin.

The oils

  • Cade: dry and smoky, like woodsmoke
  • Cedarwood: warm and woody
  • Cypress: woody, slightly spicy and nutty
  • Nutmeg: sharp, spicy and musky
  • Grapefruit: bright citrus to lift the deeper woods

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

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.
