Scented Candles
From a quiet evening on the sofa to friends gathering around the table, choose a scented candle for the moments that make your home yours. Explore fragrances hand poured in Derbyshire, with fresh, floral, fruity and woody notes to suit your space.
Choosing your scented candle
Start with the fragrance notes you enjoy: fresh and citrus scents for a bright feel, florals for a softer setting, or woody and warm notes for a cosy evening. Fragrance is personal, so choose the notes that make you feel at home.
Check the candle size and burn time on the product page. Our core 30cl candles combine coconut and soy wax with fragrance oil and have a bamboo lid; other formats may differ. For a gift, consider the recipient’s favourite scent family and the size of the space they enjoy.
For fragrance you can change in smaller portions, explore our wax melts.
Caring for your candle
- Read the candle label before lighting. Trim the wick as directed and remove any loose debris from the wax.
- Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from draughts, flammable materials, children and pets.
- Keep within the burn time stated on the label. Never leave a burning candle unattended or move it while lit.
- Extinguish before leaving the room and let the vessel cool fully before handling or replacing the lid. Stop using the candle at the point indicated on its label.
Your questions answered
What wax is used in Henry & Co candles?
Our core scented candles use a blend of coconut wax, soy wax and fragrance oil. Check the individual product page and label for details of the candle you choose.
How long do the candles last?
Our core 30cl scented candles have a stated minimum total burn time of 50 hours, across separate uses. Other sizes may differ. Follow the product label’s session limit and care instructions; burn conditions affect performance.
How can I help my candle burn evenly?
Keep the wick trimmed as directed, the wax free of debris and the candle away from draughts. Allow an even melt pool to develop within the label’s permitted burn time; do not extend a session beyond that limit to force the wax to the edge.
Should I choose a candle or wax melts?
A candle brings fragrance and the atmosphere of a flame in one vessel. Wax melts let you try smaller portions and change fragrance using a separate, suitable warmer. Choose the format that suits how you enjoy fragrance at home.
