Candle-Making Kit · Secret Garden
Specifications
Secret Garden is neroli and petitgrain with grapefruit. The flower and the leaf of the same bitter orange tree, Citrus aurantium, floral and green, with a lift of citrus over the top. The shoulders drop.
This kit makes that scent at your own table. Emily blends the oil. The pouring is yours.
Each candle in the box: 150g eco soy wax, a 15ml Secret Garden essential oil blend, a frosted white glass vessel, a copper lid, and a cotton wick with holder and sticker. Each one sets to a 165g candle. Written instructions and a video of the workshop come in every box.
Choose one, two or three candles. All materials 100% natural, cruelty-free and sourced in the UK.
Poured at Connaught Street. One batch at a time.
Every candle is hand-poured in small batches at our London workshop. Emily blends every scent and makes each batch by hand. The candles are then poured, labelled and finished by hand.
How to burn Candle-Making Kit · Secret Garden.
A candle is only as good as the way it's burned. Four steps, the same for every Yougi vessel.
-
Trim the wick.
Before every burn, trim to a centimetre. A shorter wick prevents soot and smoke, and the flame runs clean.
-
Let the wax pool.
On the first burn, let the wax reach the edge of the vessel before you put it out. Two to four hours. This prevents tunnelling and protects your hours of burn.
-
Burn in sessions.
Two to four hours at a time. Let it rest between burns: the scent needs the pause.
-
Retire gracefully.
When the wax falls below a centimetre, stop burning. Send us the empty vessel and we'll refill it for thirty percent less than a new candle.
The blend, in its other forms.
The same scent where it is made, and the nearest to it where it is not.
