After the Rain Scented Candle
Calm, Clarity & Renewal in Every Burn
Imagine the gentle hush after a summer storm—that unmistakable fresh, earthy aroma when everything feels reborn. That’s exactly what our Smells Like Rain fragrance captures. Whether you’re lighting a candle or popping in a melt, this scent brings that post-rain serenity right into your home. With a top note of liquor and rosemary to cleanse the senses, followed by a tranquil heart of cedarwood, amber dry, water, and leaf, this fragrance finishes on a grounding base of moss, patchouli, and earth. It’s nature’s way of reminding you: you’ve weathered the storm—and now it’s time to breathe again.
Why Smells Like Rain?
Smells Like Rain isn’t just a scent—it’s an experience. It mirrors the clarity and calm that follows a storm, both outside and within. As the fragrance unfolds, it tells a story: one of resilience, release, and renewal.
From the brisk herbal opening to the steadying earth-toned base, it’s your perfect companion for moments of reset. Light it up during a rainy afternoon, a meditative bath, or those quiet moments when you just need to feel okay again. Think of it as your aromatic deep breath.
Fragrance Journey
🌿 Top Notes: Liquor & Rosemary
Fresh, bold, and slightly intoxicating (in the best way). The liquor note adds an almost electric clarity—like the scent of cool rain hitting warm pavement—while rosemary cuts through with sharp green energy. Together, they banish tension and awaken the senses.
🌊 Heart Notes: Cedarwood, Amber Dry, Water & Leaf
The heart is where this fragrance truly blooms. Warm, dry amber pairs with grounding cedarwood, while water and green leaf notes evoke dew-kissed foliage and soft breezes. It’s fresh yet woody, balancing light and depth beautifully—like sunlight filtering through rain-soaked trees.
🌱 Base Notes: Moss, Patchouli & Earthy
Finally, the base settles you down with earthy depth. Moss and patchouli ground the scent in nature, wrapping everything in a quiet reassurance. It’s like the moment you inhale after the rain—calm, collected, and just a bit wiser than before.
Perfect for Candles and Melts
Whether you’re a candle devotee or wax melt enthusiast, Smells Like Rain performs beautifully in both formats:
-
Candles create an atmospheric burn—perfect for cozy evenings or morning meditations.
-
Wax Melts are ideal for a flameless, all-day scent throw—especially in open-plan living spaces.
Crafted to deliver consistent aroma and smooth transitions between layers, each format ensures the full fragrance experience unfolds as intended.
Ideal For…
-
Quiet resets – after a long day, a deep breath, or a cleansing cry
-
Mindful rituals – journaling, yoga, or simply sipping tea by the window
-
Nature lovers – who want the earthiness of outdoors without the mud
-
Gifting – because who doesn’t want peace and clarity in a jar?
Tips to Get the Most from Your Fragrance
-
First burn matters: Let the candle melt to the edge of the jar on the first burn (usually 2–3 hours) to prevent tunneling.
-
Trim your wick: Keep it around ¼ inch for a clean, even flame.
-
Use wax warmers wisely: Don’t overheat melts—low and slow helps preserve those nuanced heart notes.
-
Give it time: Let the scent layer settle over 20–30 minutes to appreciate the full journey.
The Symbolism Behind the Notes
Every note in Smells Like Rain carries meaning:
-
Rosemary has long symbolized purification and memory—a herbal hug for your spirit.
-
Cedarwood is revered in many cultures for strength and protection.
-
Patchouli evokes grounding, often associated with emotional balance.
-
Moss and Earth speak to rootedness, stability, and the gentle magic of natural cycles.
Together, they don’t just smell good—they tell a sensory story of resilience and growth.

We keep things simple, clean, and green. Our candles are crafted with Eco Wax—a pure, natural blend of coconu and rapeseed Wax, and absolutely nothing else. No palm oil, no soy, no beeswax, no paraffin, no polymers, and definitely no GMOs.
Our wicks are lead- and zinc-free, ensuring a clean, safe burn every time. The tins? Sleek, sturdy, and made from recyclable aluminium, manufactured right here in Hull, UK.
The rapeseed oil is sourced locally from the UK and Europe, while the coconut oil comes from small, independent plantations run by indigenous farmers—not faceless corporations. We’ve deliberately avoided soy, given its association with GMOs and deforestation, choosing instead a wax blend that’s kinder to the planet and the people who live on it.
