When we designed our range of Christmas refillable candles we had one thing in mind: connecting you with the old magic of Christmas.
Every one of our festive Original Scent Recipes is written to use the power of scent to help you feel your calmest and most joyful this festive season. From our 'Twas The Night Before Refillable Candle which smells like a house right on the cusp of Christmas Day with scent notes of boardgames, mince pies and cinnamon. To our Midwinter candle which captures the scents found in the height of winter, think frosty evergreens and the rich oil of spruce and pine.
Christmas Candles: Using Scent To Help You Feel Festive
We've written time and time again about the power of scent, and how it can profoundly change how you feel. Scent is hardwired to the part of our brain that holds our memories which is like having a direct line to our emotions. Fragrance, depending on what memories or feelings it brings to mind, can have a very felt impact on how you feel and what thoughts rise to the surface of our busy thought lives.
Our luxurious range of hand poured refillable Christmas candles tap into the most evocative scents found in nature around Christmas, and the scents that spark joyful nostalgia, to help shift your posture into feeling festive, calm and joyful.

A Mindful Christmas Candle Practice
We always encourage our candle family to savour the moment when they light their scented candle. Simple things like pausing to trim your wick and using one of our tactile match pots can act as footholds, rooting you in the moment.
Once you've lit your Christmas scented candle, pause for a few moments and take a long, slow, breath in.
Focus on the scent, noting what it brings to mind. Does it take you back to a particular memory? Spark a certain feeling? Or take your mind to a favourite food or place?
Let yourself sink into whatever the scent has brought to mind, luxuriating in it.
Christmas Tree Candle? Remember Your Christmas Is Yours And Yours Alone

For some people Christmas smells like winter spices and sugary pastry, for others it the fresh, wet smell of snowfall and starry nights.
