Our Calm recipe for beating the January blues: explore our refillable Aromatherapy candle.

Nigel Slater observes, in his book the Christmas Chronicles, that just because he’s opened the last door on his advent calendar, he doesn’t see why everything should change.

We rather agree. This year, instead of rushing into punishing self-improvement or racing to conquer each and every resolution, we are opting for a calm and gentle new year. This posture will surely only serve to intensify Christmas joy too.

Our recipe for a calm and gentle new year? It resides in our refillable Calm candle.

Part of our aromatherapy range, which is filled with transformative scents to change how you feel, our Calm candle is an antidote to stress, to pressure, and to hurry.

Housed in an artisan-made ceramic pot, this candle is a candlelit beacon of hope: encouraging you to stand firm against the tirade of new year pressure and to, instead, start January with compassion and calm. There's no better way to evade the January blues. 

Our Calm Original Scent Recipe (the particulars are closely guarded) is a considered layering of Orange Blossom, Chamomile, Geranium and Rose Geranium. Each scent was chosen because of its ability to release calm.

Scent communicates quickly and directly with our brain, so while the floral sweetness, herbal depth and green richness of our Calm candle smells incredible and brings much pleasure, it also has a direct impact on how we feel.

Easily Refillable Candles

Calm, like our whole range of luxury candles, can be easily refilled by dropping in one of our Pillar Refills. Come the new year we’d suggest working through our aromatherapy range, refilling your Calm candle pot with a dose of Rest, Restore, or Heal, as you need.

Artisan Made

Our candle pots are made, by hand, by skilled artisan ceramicists across the UK. We do not compromise on quality or creativity. Our Calm candle pot has a serene layering of teal glazes upon a white glaze and pale stoneware.

"Our Calm candle is the deep breath moment you’ve been waiting for. Orange blossom has calming superpowers and, balanced with soothing Chamomile and relaxing Geranium, it’s a deeply unwinding combination."
