Velvet Rose & Oud Scented Candle (Seconds)

These "Seconds" candles are poured with the exact same luxury ingredients as our full-price range—100% soy wax, sustainable wooden wicks, and premium fragrance oils—but they have small cosmetic quirks that prevent us from selling them at full RRP.

The scent is magnetic and opulent. It captures the essence of the darkest Damask Rose, wrapped in smoky Oud wood and spiked with a hint of clove and sweet praline. It is a rich, textural fragrance that transforms any room into a boudoir or sanctuary. If you don't mind a slightly wonky label or a touch of frosting, this is the ultimate bargain luxury.

🔍 Why is this a 'Second'?

These candles burn perfectly and smell incredible, but they might have:

  • ❄️ Frosting: Natural white crystal patterns on the wax (common with 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 Imperfections: A small air bubble or uneven top.

🕯️ Usage Guide: Wooden Wick Care

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

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

✂️ 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.

My Recommended Scent Companions

Pair this rich floral with other deep, moody scents:

  • 🍯 Dark Honey & Tobacco (Seconds): The Masculine Match. If 'Velvet Rose' is the feminine side of luxury, 'Dark Honey' is the masculine counterpart. Both share a rich, smoky depth that works beautifully in the same home.
  • 🕯️ Dark Amber & Ginger Lily: The Spa Match. Combine the rose notes with the exotic lily and amber for a whole-house fragrance that smells like a boutique hotel.
