Hearthside
Oak embers · clove · black vanilla
The fire you didn’t want to leave. Hearthside outsells everything else we pour two to one — a woodsmoke candle that smells like a real hearth, not a spice rack. It opens on a struck match and a curl of orange peel, gathers into clove, worn leather and black tea, and settles into oak embers and black vanilla that stay in the room long after the flame is out.

Scent notes
Three acts, top to base
Scent unfolds as the wax pool deepens — here’s how Hearthside reads from first light to the last hour.
Top notes · the first hour
The strike
A struck match, a curl of orange peel, and a door opened onto cold night air. The room notices before you do.

The gather
Clove warms through, softened by worn leather and a trace of black tea. This is the scent most people mean when they say “Hearthside”.

The embers
Oak embers and black vanilla settle into the walls and stay long after the flame is out — the room after the fire dies down.

The details
What’s in the jar
Burn time
45+ hours (30cl jar) · around 12 hours (9cl tin), burned in 3–4 hour sittings
Wax
100% soy — no paraffin, no palm, no dyes. Washes out with hot water.
Wick
Single unbleached cotton wick, lead-free, sized for a level melt pool
Fragrance
10% fragrance load, paraben- and phthalate-free oils
Made
Poured in batches of forty in Hackney, cured 14 days, batch-numbered and signed on the base
Packaging
Amber glass jar, kraft box, shredded pour-room offcuts — no plastic, no foam
The ritual: give the first burn a full three hours so the melt pool reaches the glass, and trim the wick to 5 mm before each light. Do that and Hearthside burns level to the last centimetre — the full guide is in candle care.

Collected from customers who bought Hearthside — jars, tins and refills.
★★★★★
“Hearthside is the first candle I’ve owned that smells like a fire, not a spice rack. I’m four jars deep and not stopping.”
★★★★★
“Burns dead level. No tunnelling, no soot on the glass, scent right down to the last centimetre. You can tell someone watched it get made.”
★★★★★
“Third refill of the same jar now. The freepost label was in the box before I’d even thought to ask. That’s the whole business, understood.”
★★★★☆
“Bought the tin to test it, ordered the jar before the tin was half done. Only complaint is that my flat now makes everywhere else smell wrong.”
