Sunshine in a Jar, Rather Splendid
Look, we won't pretend we invented citrus, but we have rather bottled the essence of a Mediterranean morning and made it burn for 35 to 40 glorious hours. This is what happens when Sicilian mandarins meet zesty lime in our workshop in Kidderminster. Utterly fetching, and rather good at making your home smell like you've just returned from holiday.
Why Choose Our Sicilian Mandarin and Lime Candle
Properly Handsome Fragrance The juicy burst of Sicilian mandarin paired with sharp, invigorating lime creates a citrus composition that feels like sunshine without the sunburn. Fresh, bright, and absolutely marvellous for waking up any room.
35 to 40 Hours of Gorgeous Burn Time At 180g, this candle refuses to be a quitter. Perfect for living rooms, kitchens, or anywhere you'd like a consistent, refreshing scent that doesn't ghost after a week.
Beautifully Crafted with Purpose We've handmade this candle using a proprietary blend of 100 percent natural wax from sustainably sourced organic soy and rapeseed. Our coreless clean burn technology ensures even burning and superior scent throw, refined over 35 years of proper British candle making.
Uplifting and Energising Citrus notes have a rather fabulous reputation for boosting mood and promoting joy. Sicilian mandarin encourages optimism whilst lime adds invigorating freshness that clears the mind. Exactly what your morning routine needs.

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.
Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
Giving Back
We’re proud to support Sutton Night Watch, a grassroots UK charity making a real difference in the lives of those facing homelessness. Through regular donations of stock, supplies, and essentials, we back their mission to offer warmth, dignity, and practical help to anyone in need — right where it matters most.
