Inspired by Rhubarb Jam

Rhubarb has a wonderfully distinctive fragrance: green, tart and instantly fresh.

This candle takes inspiration from that bright fruit character. Pear and peach bring softness, while vanilla and sugar echo the comforting sweetness of homemade jam.

As a result, the scent feels uplifting rather than heavy. It works especially well in kitchens, living rooms and light-filled spaces.

The freshness of rhubarb, softened with ripe fruit and vanilla.

Sarah’s Note

I wanted the rhubarb to stay crisp and recognisable. The pear and peach soften its sharpness, while vanilla and sugar give the fragrance the gentle warmth of jam without making it overly sweet.

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
