The Story

Sublime begins with freshness.

Lime zest and lemon peel give the fragrance an immediate citrus lift — bright, crisp and full of energy.

Then comes lemongrass, with its distinctive combination of citrus and green aromatic notes. Jasmine sits quietly alongside it, softening the sharper edges and adding a subtle floral character without turning Sublime into a floral fragrance.

As the candle burns, vanilla bean brings a gentle softness, while rosewood adds warmth and a subtle woody depth.

The result is fresh and citrus-led, but not one-dimensional. The florals soften it, the rosewood grounds it and the vanilla rounds everything out.

It's a fragrance that makes a room feel lighter, fresher and more inviting.

Where It Works

Best for kitchens, living areas, bathrooms and open-plan spaces.

Sublime works particularly well in areas where you want fragrance to feel fresh rather than heavy.

In a kitchen or open-plan living area, lime, lemon and lemongrass create a crisp, uplifting character that works beautifully during the day.

In a bathroom, the citrus and green notes create a fresh feeling, while jasmine and vanilla prevent the fragrance from becoming too sharp.

It's also a good choice for living spaces where you want fragrance in the background without the sweetness of a gourmand candle or the depth of a heavier woody scent.

Joanne's placement: Sublime works beautifully in light-filled spaces. Style it alongside pale timber, stone, ceramics, greenery or natural linen. It's particularly at home in fresh, contemporary interiors where the fragrance complements the room rather than dominates it.

The Vessel

The vessel is designed to remain part of your home long after the candle has finished.

Once the remaining wax has been removed and the vessel cleaned, reuse it as a small vase, bathroom container, brush holder or decorative object.

How long will the 400g Sublime candle burn?

Candle Care

For the first burn, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edge of the vessel. This usually takes between 2–4 hours and helps prevent tunnelling.

Trim the wick to approximately 5mm before every burn.

Do not burn your candle for longer than 4 hours at a time, and keep it away from draughts.

Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from children, pets and flammable materials.

Stop burning when approximately 10mm of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel.

Once finished, clean the vessel and give it a second life around your home.
