About this scent
An overgrown English walled garden, caught in late summer. The juicy tart sweetness of ripe damson plums against the powdery elegance of dark velvet roses.
It is deeper and jammier than the name suggests, and not remotely sweet. That sophistication is what makes it the right melt for the turn out of summer into the golden part of autumn.
These are botanical melts, hand-poured in our Norfolk studio and finished with a scattering of dried botanicals, crushed rose petals among them, that float in the wax pool as it melts.
One cube in the burner and let the tealight do the rest. Each melt gives hours of steady fragrance; lift it out and replace it once the scent starts to fade.
Use a standard 4-hour unscented tealight rather than an 8-hour maxi, which runs too hot for most burners, scorches the wax and burns the fragrance off early. Never leave a lit burner unattended, and keep it away from children, pets and draughts.
