Infuse your home with the gorgeous scent of peony with this 95g natural wax candle. The delicate blooming floral fragrance helps add a touch of calm to any room, while the premium wax ensures a clean, long-lasting burn.

This natural wax candle is hand poured in the Cotswolds and comes presented inside an Ashmolean-branded gift box.

This floral fragrance is sure to soothe and uplift, an English country garden favourite.

Ideal for gift-giving, this more compact sized peony candle delivers an impressive 35-hour burn experience. Crafted from premium natural wax, it captures the authentic fragrance of fresh peonies in an artisanal blend designed to elevate any space.

To get the very best out of your candle: The wick is already trimmed to a suitable length, but do follow these simple instructions to maximise the life and enjoyment of your candle.

  • On the first burn, make sure your candle is lit until it reaches a full melt pool (meaning the wax melts right to the edge of the container). If you fail to do this your candle is likely to tunnel on any subsequent burn and you will not get the full life of it.
  • After this initial burn, always light your candle for a minimum of one hour but never more than four hours.
  • Please use common sense when using your candle: keep away from children and animals and on a fireproof surface.
  • Extinguish with care and wait until your container and wax has fully cooled before attempting to move it. NEVER leave a burning candle unattended. 

Charlotte Spencer is dedicated to bringing quality natural wax candles made from the finest ingredients, beautifully scented when cold and when lit. All of their candles are hand poured in the Cotswolds using the finest botanical waxes blended with the most indulgent scents and oils to give you a 100% vegan candle. Every jar is recyclable (perfect for nick nacks), as are the boxes, which can go in the green bin once you’ve had your use of them.
