Earl Grey & Cucumber Scented Candle (Seconds)

Imagine a traditional British afternoon tea in a sun-drenched conservatory. 'Earl Grey & Cucumber' is a playful, elegant fragrance that captures that exact moment. It blends the zesty, bergamot-rich aroma of Earl Grey tea with the cool, crunchy freshness of cucumber and a hint of sweet vanilla.

These "Seconds" candles are poured with the exact same premium ingredients as our full-price range—100% natural soy wax and sustainable wooden wicks—but they have small cosmetic quirks (like a wonky label or a little frosting) that prevent us from selling them at full price. It is the perfect way to add a touch of refined luxury to your home for less.

🍵 The Scent Journey

This is a fresh, aquatic, and fruity blend with a warm base:

  • 🍏 Top Notes: Apple, Bergamot, Jasmine, and Aquatic notes.
    (The first hit: bright, zesty tea and crisp freshness.)
  • 🥒 Mid Notes: Cucumber, Angelica, and Davana.
    (The heart: cool, green, and slightly herbal.)
  • 🪵 Base Notes: Vanilla, Beeswax, Cedar, and Musk.
    (The lingering trail: sweet, comforting, and sophisticated.)

🔍 Why is this a 'Second'?

These candles perform perfectly but failed our strict visual quality control:

  • ❄️ Frosting: White crystal patterns on the wax (a natural characteristic of pure soy wax).
  • 📏 Fill Levels: The wax might be slightly higher or lower than our standard.
  • 🏷️ Label Issues: A bubble in the sticker or a slightly crooked placement.
  • 🫧 Surface Texture: A slightly bumpy top instead of a smooth finish.

🕯️ Usage Guide: Wooden Wick Care

Follow these tips to get the best crackle and burn time:

🔥 The First Burn:
Light the wick across the whole width. Let it burn for 2-3 hours until the wax melts to the glass edges. This prevents "tunnelling."

✂️ The "Pinch":
Before re-lighting, the wick must be short (3-4mm). Wait for the candle to cool, then simply pinch off the black charred wood with your fingers. This keeps the flame clean and steady.
