A Rather Splendid Candle That Smells Like Actual Forests (In the Best Way)
Look, I'll be honest. We've made a candle that's a bit of a showstopper. It opens with bold, smoky cedarwood that doesn't mess about, then softens into rich vanilla like it's had a gentle word with itself. By the time the earthy moss and deep amber settle in, you'll find yourself rather content, sitting in what amounts to a sophisticated woodland cabin in your own living room. Strength and stillness, wrapped up in wax.
Why Choose Our Smoky Cedarwood Candle
Hand Poured in the UK in Small Batches: We pour each candle ourselves, in proper small batches. No factories. No funny business. Just us, being rather meticulous.
Soy Wax That Burns Beautifully: Our soy wax burns longer, cleaner, and with a bit more grace than the alternatives. It's marvellous stuff, really.
Plastic Free Packaging: Every element has been considered. Your candle arrives in packaging that doesn't make the planet weep.
A Tree Planted for Every Order: We plant a tree for each candle you buy. Bit of forest goes in, bit of forest grows back. Seems fair.
Paraben and Phthalate Free: We've left out the nasties so you can breathe easy (literally).
Vegan Friendly: No animal products. Just gloriously crafted plant-based goodness.
Product Details
Scent Profile: Top notes of cedarwood and smoke open the story. The heart reveals cedarwood and vanilla in conversation. Base notes of moss and amber provide the quiet conclusion.
Size and Burn Time: Our large glass candle holds 220g of wax in a 30cl jar (560g total). Expect approximately 40 plus hours of burn time, which is rather generous, if we do say so.
Dimensions: Height 9cm, width 8cm. Perfectly proportioned for a bedside table or bookshelf.
Care Instructions: Trim the wick to 5mm before lighting. During the first burn, let the melt pool reach the edge of the jar to prevent tunnelling. After that, keep burns to 4 hours or so. Keep the candle on a level, fire resistant surface, away from draughts, children, and pets.
Safety Warning: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from anything flammable. Use common sense, essentially.
Order yours now and join rather a lot of people who've discovered that a proper handmade candle is worth every penny.

SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.

We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS

Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!

Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.

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.
