Baltic Amber by Essence Candles Review

We’ve already mentioned Essence Candles on our blog before, check this link HERE to read how awesome they are.

I was really excited about reviewing one of their Pour Homme Collection candles – Baltic Amber. There are three scents in this collection, Baltic Amber, Attar Oudh and Golden Woodlands. We do love our mandle scents as you know and this is definitely one to add to our favourites. Absolutely in love with this!


This candle is £12 and they donate 20% of the sales of each of the Pour Homme collection to the Bearded Villains UK London Marathon Fund in aid of Barnados.  Read More

NC Oxford

My wife and I have lived in Oxfordshire for about 20 years, both having been brought up in different part of the country (South Wales and Surrey). We both love Oxfordshire. It has a charming tranquility about it, whilst being very close to the action if we fancy it. It’s also very cosmopolitan, without the fast paced and hectic way of life in close by London.

The city of Oxford has so much inspiration to offer, with it University and world renowned people (Tolkien, CS Lewis, Stephen Hawking, Winston Churchill, the list goes on and on!). The surrounding countryside has also influenced our candles, with it’s lovely market towns, picturesque rivers and famous landmarks.

We’ve long been lovers of scented candles, however have frequently been disappointed with the poor quality of the cheaper candles or loathed to fork out £40/50/60 for one of the better know luxury candles. So we started making candles for ourselves just as a hobby, which soon turned into a bit of an obsession! Read More

Rein Candles

We’re so very excited to announce that we’ll be working with Rein Candles. Y’all know we LOVE our “mandles” but man oh man these ones are extra special!

Rein’s mission is to produce the highest quality and most interactive men’s candle. The guys at Rein were sick of buying the classic cheap candles that look weak and make rooms smell like a bubble bath, so they spent countless hours developing sleek, soy based candles with cologne grade fragrance oils. Meaning that, in addition to being a cool centerpiece, Rein candles actually upgrade the aroma in any room. It took several prototypes and multiple burn tests to get where they are at today, but they successfully created a one-of-a-kind candle that will significantly change the ambiance of a room.

Smoulder Wolf Leather Candle Review

I’ve already raved about Smoulder Wolf before, HERE, but you’ll have to put up with me doing the same again.

Smoulder Wolf Leather Candle Review

Smoulder Wolf sent me their Leather candle to review and I’ll admit I’ve never smelt anything like this in candle form before so this was a very different experience.
With their other candle being the Bourbon one I’ve already reviewed I think it seems poignant that my having the bourbon and leather burning together reminds me of a bar I used to go in when I had left university. I wanted to know what I was supposed to be doing in “life” and drinking bourbon seemed like a good place to start. The place had those bar booths but they had real leather sofas too, the smell totally filled the room. Obviously there was tobacco smells too, before the times of having to smoke outside… I feel old!
