"Customers describe Splendour as a beautiful, calming floral fragrance that brings a sense of happiness and relaxation. They love how it helps them completely unwind, with one customer describing it as a scent that lets you "drift away to another place." Its soft floral character makes it a favourite for creating a peaceful atmosphere, while customers also praise the quality of the candles and return to The Candle Kitchen for gifts and repeat purchases."
Some memories don’t fade. They just wait quietly until something brings them back.
For me, it’s the scent of jasmine on a warm summer evening.
I was a child. Christmas holidays. Walking with my dad as the day slowly disappeared around us.
We talked about the moon. The stars. The way the sky changes colour just before dark.
Tiny white jasmine flowers were everywhere their fragrance drifting through the warm air, soft and sweet and completely unhurried. Everything was still. Everything felt safe.
It’s one of my happiest memories.
When I created Splendour, I wanted to capture exactly that.
The feeling of a long summer evening when the world slows down just a little. When the air is warm and fragrant and there’s nowhere else you need to be.
Soft jasmine drifts gently through the room, carried by a light coastal breeze. Elegant, delicate, and beautifully calming.
Floral… but never overpowering. Just soft, graceful, and quietly beautiful.
Splendour is the only floral candle in The Candle Kitchen collection, and I’ve always been a little protective of it.
Florals can be tricky. Too heavy and they overwhelm. Too light and they disappear.
Splendour sits in that rare, perfect place present enough to fill a room, gentle enough to feel like a whisper.
Even customers who tell me they don’t like floral fragrances often come back for Splendour. Because it doesn’t smell like a florist. It smells like a summer evening. Like jasmine through an open window. Like something you almost remember.
Splendour is made for the moments when you want everything to feel calm, soft, and a little dreamy. It’s perfect for:
My dad is no longer here. But every time I light Splendour, I’m back on that walk. Talking about the stars. Watching the sky turn. Feeling completely at peace. I hope when you light it, 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
