Description

Lemon Curd Natural Soy Wax Candle

A hand-poured soy wax candle inspired by the bright citrus and soft vanilla sweetness of our award-winning Lemon Curd.

Quick answer: The Lemon Curd Natural Soy Wax Candle blends zesty lemon, sugared peel, orange, coconut and soft vanilla. Hand-poured in Gloucestershire, it offers an approximate burn time of 30 hours and fills the room with a bright citrus fragrance softened by gentle bakery sweetness.

Light the candle and bring the fragrance of freshly made lemon curd into the room.

Bright lemon and sugared peel arrive first. Then softer notes of orange, coconut and vanilla add warmth, creating a fragrance that feels cheerful, comforting and quietly indulgent.

The scent takes inspiration from our award-winning Lemon Curd, capturing its balance of citrus sharpness, sweetness and smooth, creamy character.

The Scent of Lemon Curd

Lemon curd has a fragrance that is instantly recognisable: fresh citrus, warm sugar and a soft creamy richness.

This candle reflects that character without becoming overly sharp or sugary. Instead, the lemon feels bright and uplifting, while vanilla and coconut gently soften the edges.

As a result, the fragrance works beautifully in kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms and cosy corners where you want something fresh but comforting.

Inspired by citrus, sugar and the simple pleasure of something homemade.

Sarah’s Note

I wanted this candle to capture the fragrance of lemon curd rather than simply smell of lemon. The vanilla, sugar and coconut notes give it the softer, comforting character of something just made in the kitchen.

  • While baking or spending time in the kitchen
  • On bright spring and summer evenings

A Thoughtful Gift for Citrus Lovers

How to Care for Your Candle

  1. Trim the wick
    Before each use, trim the wick to approximately 5 mm.
  2. Create an even melt pool
    On the first burn, allow the melted wax to reach close to the edge of the glass to help reduce tunnelling.
  3. Choose a safe position
    Place the candle upright on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from draughts.
  4. Extinguish carefully
    Put out the flame safely and allow the wax and glass to cool before handling.

Important Candle Safety

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended
  • Keep away from children and pets
  • Keep away from curtains, paper and other flammable materials
  • Do not move the candle while it is burning or while the wax remains hot
  • Do not burn the candle in a draught
  • Stop using the candle if the glass becomes damaged
