The Matty's Difference: A Commitment to Quality & Sustainability

Why Coconut & Rapeseed Wax?

We exclusively use a natural wax blend of coconut and rapeseed for our scented candles. Unlike paraffin wax (a petroleum byproduct) or soy wax (often linked to deforestation), our chosen blend is sustainable, eco-friendly, and provides a far superior performance. It burns slower and cleaner, holding a higher fragrance load to give you a powerful, consistent scent from the first light to the very last.

The Art of Hand-Pouring

Every single one of our scented candles is poured by hand in our UK workshop. This meticulous process allows us to ensure perfect fragrance distribution, wick placement, and a flawless finish. It's a labour of love that mass production simply cannot replicate, resulting in a premium quality candle you can see and smell.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a good quality scented candle?

A high-quality scented candle is defined by three things: the wax, the wick, and the fragrance oil. We use a sustainable coconut and rapeseed wax blend for a clean, long burn, lead-free cotton wicks for safety, and premium, phthalate-free fragrance oils at a high percentage for a powerful and consistent scent throw.

How long do your scented candles burn for?

Our standard 220g scented candles have a burn time of approximately 45 hours. Our larger 400g 3-wick candles burn for over 60 hours. This is significantly longer than many paraffin-based candles of a similar size due to the slower-burning nature of our natural wax blend.

Are your scented candles safe for pets?

Our candles are made from natural, non-toxic wax and are paraben and phthalate-free. However, some essential oils and fragrance oils can be sensitive to pets. We recommend keeping candles out of reach of pets and ensuring the room is well-ventilated. Always consult your vet if you have specific concerns.

Why don't you use soy or paraffin wax in your candles?

We avoid paraffin wax as it is a petroleum byproduct that can release toxins when burned. While soy wax is a popular natural alternative, it is often linked to deforestation and intensive farming. Our coconut and rapeseed wax blend is more sustainable and provides a superior, cleaner, and longer burn.

How do I get the strongest scent from my candle?

For the best scent throw, always allow the candle to burn long enough for the wax pool to reach the edges of the container on the first burn. This prevents 'tunnelling' and ensures an even burn for the life of the candle. We recommend burning for 3-4 hours at a time in a well-ventilated room.

Do you offer free delivery on scented candles?

Yes! We offer free tracked UK delivery on all orders of £35 or more. Your hand-poured scented candles will be carefully packaged and dispatched to arrive safely at your door.
