Soothe Candle
Specifications
Soothe is lavender at the end of the day, soft and clean, with eucalyptus to clear the mind. Lavender, Lavandula angustifolia, with rose geranium, bergamot and a small amount of eucalyptus. The first blend Emily ever made, in summer when the lavender comes in, from a memory of the Cotswolds, a field at dusk and the rows still warm underfoot. Soy wax. Cotton wick. Hand-poured. Around 50 hours, 20 for the mini and 80 for the three-wick.
The shoulders drop.
Four essential oils. Every one named.
Single-origin, sourced from the grower who knows them best. No carriers, no extenders, no synthetic fragrance.
herbalLavender
Steam-distilled at altitude. Soft, herbaceous, never medicinal.
FloralRose Geranium
Warm and rosy under the lavender. Holds the whole blend steady.
citrusBergamot
Cold-pressed from the peel of the bergamot fruit. The lift at the top of the formula.
HerbalEucalyptus
A cool opening. The clarity of clean sheets.
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 Soothe Candle.
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.
