Winter, or Gaeaf in Welsh, is a reflective candle for the darker months. It came from wanting to use frankincense at this time of year, because it matters in so many traditions.

Bitter orange, from the Seville oranges that go into marmalade, gives it a fresh, dry citrus. Nutmeg adds a warm, slightly spicy edge.

The River Nevern is part of its story too: a long January walk there with the dogs, ending with a drink at the Trewern Arms in Nevern.

The oils

  • Frankincense: sweet and woody, burned as incense across many faiths
  • Bitter orange: dry and fresh, from Seville oranges
  • Nutmeg: warm, sweet and gently spiced

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.
