After Dark
Dark · Spiced · Warm
Opens dark and spiced - pepper and cumin - softening through nutmeg and a touch of rose before settling on a sweet, smoky base of patchouli and vanilla. Warm and a little sensual, the kind of scent that suits late nights and low light. Spiced rather than sweet, with just enough vanilla to round the edges.

Full policyCandle care
Light it right and it'll burn clean and even:
First Burn: Let the wax melt all the way to the edges, about 2–3 hours. This sets the candle's memory and prevents tunnelling.
Trim the wick to ¼ inch before every burn - long wicks cause smoke and uneven burning.
Don't burn more than 4 hours at a stretch; past that the wax overheats and the fragrance dulls.
Stop when ½ cm of wax is left to protect the jar.
When you're done, the jar's yours - scoop out the leftover wax (warm water helps), peel the label, reuse it.
