The Golden Hour
The Golden Hour
For the hour before the lamps go on.
When the light turns golden and the day starts to soften, this is the scent that fills the room. It opens bright: lemon and a little clove, with the dry, leathery edge of birch. Then it warms into pale woods and cashmeran, a soft, musky wood named for the feel of cashmere. A flicker of raspberry keeps it from ever feeling heavy.
As the evening draws in, it settles low and golden into amber, vanilla and cedarwood, held together by a soft, lingering musk. It’s close, comforting and unhurried, the scent of a room where nobody’s in a hurry for the evening to begin.
Light this when the day can wait a little longer.
Opening: Lemon, clove, birch
Heart: Guaiacwood, cashmeran, moss, raspberry
Base: Amber, vanilla, cedarwood, musk
Five wicks set in a circle and 3.9kg of hand-poured wax give a flame that becomes a light source in its own right. This isn’t a candle you place in a room. It’s the one the room gets arranged around.
Measured in memories.

Burn & Care
- Trim the wick to 5mm before every burn.
- Allow a full melt pool on the first light — around four hours. It's the biggest single factor in how evenly the candle burns from here on.
- Never leave a lit candle unattended.
