A Rather Marvellous Sensual Embrace in Candle Form

Picture this: you've just lit a candle that smells rather like a warm, powdery hug from someone terribly sophisticated. That's rather much the idea here. Our Heliotrope and Suede candle is a glorious resinous fragrance with genuine depth, layers unfolding like an intricately plotted rom-com. Earthy smoky tonka bean whispers hello, lavender nods politely from the wings, and a velvety amber base ensures everything feels utterly enveloping and rather fabulous.

Why Choose Our Handmade Soy Wax Candle

Scent Structure That Actually Works: Top notes of lavender and cinnamon give way to a splendid middle of cypriol, myrrh, heliotrope and guaiacwood, before settling into a properly luxurious base of moss, amber, vanilla, tonka, benzoin and suede. It's rather like a three-act play, except it smells marvellous.

Genuinely Handcrafted: Each candle is hand poured in small batches right here in the UK. No mass production nonsense. Just care, attention and the sort of fussiness we rather approve of.

Clean Burning and Beautifully Made: Pure soy wax, paraben and phthalate free, vegan friendly. Burns gorgeously for 40 plus hours without the guilt.

Packaging That Doesn't Make You Cringe: Entirely plastic free, because we're all rather tired of unnecessary packaging, aren't we.

Trees, Actually Planted: A tree is planted for every order. Rather nice, that.

Product Details

Size and Burn Time: Large glass candle holding approximately 220g of soy wax. Total product weight around 560g. Expect 40 plus hours of burn time. Height 9cm, width 8cm.

A Rather Charming Note: This candle may develop a slight pink hue over time. It's entirely normal, rather like a blush, if you will.

Care Instructions: Trim the wick to 5mm before lighting. On first burn, let the melt pool reach the edge of the jar to prevent tunnelling. Subsequent burns should be no longer than 4 hours. Always burn on a level, fire resistant surface, away from draughts, children, pets and anything flammable. Never leave burning unattended.

Rather splendid for gifting. Absolutely rather good for yourself. Light one now and let the rather marvellous unfold.

SHIPPING + RETURNS


THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS

This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.

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.

Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.

At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.

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

You have 14 days to return items.

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!

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.
