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.
