Dundee edition soy wax candles

Sunny Dundee: Dundee is Scotland’s sunniest city, south-facing, overlooking the Tay estuary. Imagine a picnic in Magdalen Green on a sunny day, strolling along the Riverside, climbing the Law or sunbathing on Broughty Ferry Beach! The scent combines the freshness of the sea with florals and hints of fresh fruit. Scent notes include ozone, citrus scents of bergamot, grapefruit and lemon and florals of magnolia, jasmine, geranium and amber.

Haar over the Tay: Haar over the Tay represents the sea fog that occurs over the Tay when warmer air sweeps in over the cold North Sea water. It’s the smell of the salty sea fog, mixed with nuances of Scottish heather and herbs with a warm undertone of cedar and amber. It’s a fresh yet mysterious scent.

Dundee Marmalade: A scent that represents the juicy, zingy and sweet taste of the famous Dundee marmalade.

The Candle Bothy candles are made with 100% natural soy wax and burn using wicks made from cotton and linen.

The candles are available in 3 sizes:

• Large glass with a burn time of around 40 hours

• Medium glass with a burn time of around 29 hours

• Small votive glass with a burn time of around 16 hours

The candles come in a decorative white box - ideal as a present. All candles are hand-poured in small batches in Dundee/Scotland. 

Candle care tips to get the most out of your candle:

• When lighting a candle for the first time, ensure the wax has melted all or most of the surface. This avoids the candle burning down around the wick, leaving wax around the edges, which is also called ‘tunnelling’

• Don’t burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time

• Allow the candle to cool for 1 to 2 hours between burns

• Always trim the wick to about 5mm to ensure even burning and to avoid soot and prevent large flames
