Company Spotlight: Woodwick



I love scented candles! They are probably more of a winter indulgence for me, as I associate them more with cold, dark nights and cosy evenings by the fire, but I have been investing in many fresher, lighter scents recently with Spring well on its way.

I discovered Woodwick Candles through my mum a couple of years ago when I was visiting, and was immediately taken by the gorgeous scent fragrancing her living room.  Since then, I have purchased several and I have yet to come across one I don’t like!

The classic candles come in two different sizes –
  • 10oz at £13.99 which burns for up to 100 hours
  • 22ox at £20.99 which burns for up to 180  hours

There is a huge range of scents available from the ordinary to the extraordinary.  I particularly like the Wild Bluebell scent which fills a room very quickly with a gorgeous floral aroma. 

The candles are all made of high-quality soy wax so that they produce a cleaner and slower burn than conventional paraffin wax candles and there is none of the annoying ‘tunnelling’ present where the candle burns only down the centre – the whole of the candle burns meaning they are excellent value for money.  One of the more unique elements of these candles is that they all have a wooden wick which gives a subtle crackling sound whilst burning!  It is very quiet, so it is very unobtrusive, but it is a nice relaxing background accompaniment.

In addition to the classic candles, there are also:
  • Trilogy Candles (which have 3 scents in one jar)
  • Diffusers
  • Smaller ‘Petit’ Candles

There are new scents being launched all the time and I am particularly fond of the special Christmas offerings, especially the cranberry one!

Where to Buy- Direct from their website Woodwick or if you want to sniff before you buy, many small independent gift shops sell them.
