Splendour is inspired by those long summer evenings when the air is warm and the world slows down just a little. Tiny white jasmine flowers drift their fragrance through the night, carried on a soft coastal breeze. It’s the scent of quiet walks, moonlit gardens, and moments that feel almost like a dream.
Light this candle when you want the room to feel soft, calm, and a little bit magical — like summer is lingering just outside the window.

What does Splendour smell like?
Inspired by warm summer evenings when tiny white jasmine flowers perfume the air. Soft jasmine drifts gently through the room, carried by a light coastal breeze, creating a fragrance that’s elegant, delicate and beautifully calming. It’s floral… but never overpowering. Just soft, graceful and quietly beautiful.
What inspired Splendour?
A childhood memory. Walking with Petra’s dad at dusk during the Christmas holidays, talking about the moon the stars, watching daylight slowly disappear while everything around them became still. Splendour is her way of holding onto those moments. It’s not just a fragrance. It’s one of her happiest memories, shared with you.
Is Splendour very floral?
It’s our only floral candle, but it’s wonderfully gentle. Even customers who don’t usually choose floral fragrances often fall in love with Splendour because it feels fresh, soft and incredibly elegant. It’s a beautiful introduction to florals, never heavy, always graceful.
Where does it work best in the home?
Anywhere you want your home to feel peaceful. Bedrooms, bathrooms, reading nooks, or beside an open window on a warm evening. It’s the candle to light when you want everything to feel calm, relaxed and just a little dreamy.
Is every candle really handmade?
Every single one. Each Splendour candle is hand-poured by Petra here on the beautiful South Coast of Australia using 100% natural soy wax and braided cotton wicks. Every pour is made with patience, care and lots of candle love.
Why is Splendour such a special fragrance?
Because it simply makes you smile. It’s a reminder of carefree summer evenings, of childhood wonder, of slowing down enough to notice the stars. And when you light it, we hope it becomes part of one of your happiest memories too.

1. Let it pool (first burn)
The very first time you light your candle, give it a chance to settle in. Let it burn long enough usually around 2 to 4 hours so the entire top layer melts right to the edges. That way, the wax ‘remembers’ to burn evenly next time. It’s a small act of patience that makes a big difference.
2. Trim the wick
Before each burn, give your wick a little tidy-up about 5mm is just right. It helps your candle burn slowly and cleanly, without getting smoky or too hot. Think of it like brushing your hair before heading out: quick, simple, and totally worth it.
3. Keep it still
Candles love calm. Try to keep them away from open windows, fans, or busy walkways. A steady flame means even melting, no tunnelling, and no leaning flames. It’s just like us really, we shine better when we’re not being blown about.
Yes, soy candles are one of the cleanest choices you can make. Our candles are hand-poured with 100% natural soy wax and cotton wicks, free from harmful chemicals, toxins or carcinogens, so you can breathe easy while you enjoy the glow.
Soy wax is plant-based and renewable, while paraffin comes from petroleum. Soy burns slower and cleaner, giving you a longer-lasting candle with less soot and a softer, more natural scent throw.
They do! Because soy wax has a lower melting point, it burns gently and evenly, meaning more hours of fragrance and light for you to enjoy.
Scent throw depends on a few things, the room size, airflow, and how long your candle has been burning. OR....Olfactory Fatigue, “nose blindness.” Your nose simply gets used to the scent. Step outside for a few minutes maybe smell a few coffee beans, then come back in. You’ll notice the fragrance again, fresh and beautiful.
It means our candles are made purely from soybeans, no blends, no fillers, just clean, sustainable wax that performs beautifully.
