Wax Melts are here at last!

I'm so excited to announce the launch, today, of our new Rapeseed and Coconut Wax Melts.  They work in the same way as our wonderful Soy Melts, and provide a glorious, reliable scent for at least 12 hours (or three standard tea light candles).  I've launched five fragrances today.  Hot Apple Pie (an old favourite) and four new ones - Christmas Spice, Nutcracker, Frankincense & Myrrh and Gingerbread (which is my favourite). In the next week or so, I will also be launching Fireside, Tuscan Leather, Thai Lime & Mango, Velvet Peony & Oud, Cuban Tobacco & Oak, Kabuki, Pink Fizz & Pomelo and Effete - we are just in the final stages of testing these beautiful scents. Because of the rules governing candle and melt making, each product must have a label detailing any potential hazards and allergens.  These are listed on each product page and is also the reason why I am now offering different ways to buy each scent: either individually or in bags of 4 or 5.  The extra labelling requirements, and the increase in the price of supplies, has forced me to increase my costs for individual melts, while I have tried to keep my multi buy prices as low as possible.  I think they are worth the extra pennies - I hope you do too.

The Complete Collection

Hello! Finally, at last, all of my new candles are on the website, ready to go. I have had so much fun (and some tears and tantrums) experimenting with what feels like dozens of new fragrances, in an attempt to bring you the best candles I can. I'm also using a new wax, made of Rapeseed and Coconut. There isn't a significant reason behind this change of wax - I saw it on my suppliers page and out of curiosity ordered a sample. And then I fell in love. It is so wonderful to work with, but better than that, the quality of the candle it produces is so much better. Its easy to wick, works well with most fragrances, and pumps out so much scent.

And the new scents? Well, I think they are all amazing. My dedicated team of candle testers also love them, and now my customers are loving them too.
