Gift Set · Uplifting but relaxing
Soothe and Happy, side by side.
Specifications
Two candles, given together: Soothe and Happy. Soothe began with the Cotswolds: a lavender field at dusk, the rows still warm underfoot. Lavender, rose geranium, bergamot and a little eucalyptus, the first blend Emily ever made. Happy began in the Sicilian orange groves at golden hour, the air thick with citrus and the day going amber. Sweet orange and bergamot, with may chang, lemongrass and ylang ylang. Frosted white glass. Soy wax. Cotton wicks. In three sizes: the 75g mini, the 270g and the 450g three-wick. Hand-poured on Connaught Street.
One to lift the day, one to end it.
Eight essential oils. Every one named.
Single-origin, sourced from the grower who knows them best. No carriers, no extenders, no synthetic fragrance.

How to burn a Yougi candle.
-
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.
