This candle creates that quiet, transportive hush you only ever notice in a very old library. Long cedar tables worn smooth by generations of elbows and ideas. Shelves lined with volumes that feel reassuringly full of things worth knowing.
Light it and the flame flickers gently, releasing a crisp lift of lemon peel and bergamot. Like sunlight slipping through tall mullioned windows, catching dust as it drifts lazily in the air. It sounds dramatic. It is in fact simply beautiful, like petals trailing behind a punt on the Cam if you’re feeling poetic.
As the soy wax softens, time does that pleasant elastic thing it does when you are fully absorbed. Warmth builds slowly, almost imperceptibly, like skin beneath glass. The fragrance deepens into paper and leather, threaded with a soft resinous hum of balsams and benzoin. Rich. Smooth. Faintly addictive.
Deeply comforting without ever trying too hard. The sort of candle you light once and then somehow find yourself returning to again and again.
Two wicks burn side by side, their light shifting as the fragrance settles into the room. It feels decadent. It feels rich. It feels like a quiet kind of enlightenment.An ancient library, conjured at the strike of a match.
Handmade in our micro perfumery in Norfolk. 100% Soy wax. Vegan. Never tested on animals. Double Wick. Approximately 50hours. Also available as an Eau De Parfum.

"Bought this gorgeous candle, magnesium spray and body oil for my daughter in law’s baby shower. I was advised by the lovely ladies in the Wells store that the oil is great for stretch marks and keeping your skin beautifully soft. The candle smells divine. Love the extended shop in Wells, great gifting ideas and my favourite place to browse xx"
"Annotations is such a clever fragrance and a beautiful one as the days draw in. It is complex and quite hypnotic. I would love the fragrance to wear. I thought living with the fragrance in the house was a great way to try it before buying the perfume. It has real depth, it oozes warmth and has a quiet confidence about it. Wonderfully stylish."
"A fantastic company with really beautiful products. The monthly discovery box is brilliant and I can’t recommend it enough! It’s so exciting when it arrives packed with amazing goodies all carefully chosen and wrapped. I love it 🥰"
"Bought this as a gift for my partner but I am also enjoying the gorgeous scent of it from time to time! Please keep doing what you’re doing! Can’t wait for the next new candle scent!"
"We love this!"
"Such a cosy and charming candle. It really reminds me of the smell of freshly polished furniture and the pages of a new book. I thoroughly recommend to any avid readers! x"
