Mercury Scented Candle – Amber

Our Mercury candle sits in a hand-finished glass pot that fades from a warm amber top through smoky grey into a pale sandy base. The frosted, textured surface catches the light and gives each pot a slightly different look, so no two are quite alike. The wide, rounded shape holds a generous pool of wax and makes it a piece worth keeping long after the wick has burned down.

The fragrance pairs jasmine with vetiver, blending a soft floral note with a deeper, earthy woodiness. It works well as a mood-setting scent in a living room or bedroom, and the poured paraffin wax gives a steady, even burn. The single cotton wick sits centred so the flame draws the wax down evenly across the surface.

Standing around 90mm tall with a similar width, it suits a shelf, coffee table or bedside without taking up much room. Once the candle is finished, the glass pot can be cleaned out and reused as a small pot for trinkets, cotton wool or tea lights, giving it a second life around the home.

What does this candle smell like?

It combines a soft floral jasmine note with a deeper, earthy vetiver, giving a warm and grounding scent.

What is the candle made from?

It uses poured paraffin wax set inside a frosted, textured glass pot with an amber-to-gold graduated finish.

How should I care for the wick?

Trim the cotton wick to around 5mm before each burn to keep the flame steady and reduce sooting.

Can I reuse the glass pot?

Yes. Once the wax is finished, clean out the pot and use it to hold trinkets, cotton wool or a tea light.

How long should I burn it at a time?

Allow the wax to melt fully across the surface on the first burn, and avoid burning for more than around four hours at once.
