This melting pot (and matching melty-melts for those who adore them) has been a big dream for me. The scent has been carefully and painstakingly blended in-house; notes of dark and milk chocolate, freshly ground coffee, caramelised macadamia nut and a warm, mellow, smooth base.

They smell the way that the first sip of my morning coffee tastes, and it reminds me of so much: of late nights renovating, of visiting our chickens on a sunny day, of soaking up our highland cows’ first rainfall, of sitting on the front porch with the dogs, of utter contentedness.

Each is in a beautiful amber apothecary jar, with a cork lid.

This is my soul in candle form and good golly, am I proud of it. I can’t wait to wrap yours up, write your love note and send it off to you.
