The floral notes of our Machair fragrance come from the colourful wildflowers native to the Hebrides of Scotland. Subtle hints of kelp harmonise with harebell, gentian, orchid and bluebell, to create a botanical scent inspired by Scottish shorelines.
Machair is a word of Gaelic origin that refers to the grassy area found on parts of the northwest coastlines and is particularly gorgeous and prevalent in the Hebrides. It’s a very fertile spot and the floral notes of our Machair fragrance come from the colourful wildflowers that grow here. Subtle hints of kelp harmonise with harebell, gentian, orchid and bluebell are brought together to create a botanical scent.
For us, this is the scent of the Scottish shorelines and we love seeing the machair come into bloom in spring and summer. If you love the coast but don’t live as close to it as you’d like, this is the scent to transport you there.

Safety First
First things first, please never leave a burning candle unattended. Numerous house fires start this way each year so be sure not to be one of them!
Secondly, check your candle carefully before burning; sometimes something so simple as a tiny hairline crack in the glass can cause the jar to shatter once the candle starts burning and the glass heats up. We also recommend discontinuing use of the candle when 1cm of wax remains, as this is the point when the flame is hottest and without sufficient wax to burn there is a small chance it can cause extreme stress in the glass, leading to it cracking.
Please place candles on a heat resistant surface and always use caution when handling glasses as they have a naked flame on them and they may get pretty hot.
Lastly, burn any candles out of reach of children and pets.
Candle Care
Before lighting or relighting your candle, make sure to trim the wick to around 1cm long. Doing so will help you to get the longest and cleanest burn from your candles.
Please try and light your candle using extra long matches or a lighter to save your fingers from getting burnt. Trust us, we've burnt our fingertips enough ourselves to know better now. If you do end up using long matches for this, make sure to remove any debris as it can cause the candle to soot and also cause the glass to get extra hot.
When burning your candle make sure that it's on a flat, level surface away from any draughts so that it burns evenly. Try and allow the candle to burn for around 3-4 hours so the wax has time to melt right to the edge of the glass. This prevents the candle "tunnelling" and gets you the best value from our candles. If you do need to blow it out early and the wax pool hasn't burnt to the side, next burn don't trim the wick and let it burn long enough so next time it will reach the sides.
