Poured in Petone.

We melt soy wax in a converted garage two streets back from the beach, in batches small enough that one person can keep an eye on every pour. Cotton wicks, no dyes, no shortcuts — if a scent doesn't smell right at the testing stage, it doesn't go in a vessel.

Empty jar? Bring it back for a refill at 20% off, or drop it at any of our stockists. We wash, re-pour and relabel — same vessel, new scent if you fancy a change. It's a small system, but it means fewer jars in landfill and a bit more reason to visit the shop.

Refillable vessels

Every jar is designed for a second, third and fourth life at our refill counter.

Soy & cotton wicks

No paraffin, no dyes, no lead — just soy wax and a plain cotton wick.

Made in small batches

We pour in runs of a few dozen, tested and topped up by hand each time.
