About Sweet Memories

Most candles live at one end of the spectrum or the other. Sweet or woody. Gourmand or earthy. Sweet Memories sits in the space between.

Pistachio and almond open it with a creamy, nutty warmth that reads as natural rather than confectionery. There is sweetness here, but it is the sweetness of something roasted and real rather than something spun from sugar. Jasmine moves through the heart quietly, adding a soft floral note that lifts the nutty opening without pulling the fragrance into straight floral territory. It is the note that stops Sweet Memories from reading as purely a gourmand candle.

Sandalwood in the base is where the fragrance finds its character. Warm, creamy and woody, it anchors the pistachio and almond and gives the candle a depth that carries through a long burn. Musk sits alongside it, soft and skin-like, extending the base and giving the room a warmth that stays after the flame is out.

The name fits. There is something familiar about this fragrance without being able to place exactly what it reminds you of. Warm afternoons, something baked nearby, a particular room at a particular time. It is a long-lasting sandalwood candle that works in living rooms, bedrooms and any space where you want the air to feel settled and warm without being heavy.

Developed in-house by founders Suji and Jeeva, IFRA certified, cruelty free, poured by hand in Melbourne. Part of the Santorini collection, built around warmth, slow afternoons and the kind of places that stay with you.

Scent notes

Top: Pistachio, Almond Heart: Jasmine Base: Sandalwood, Musk

Reading the notes

Pistachio — creamy and slightly sweet in the opening, with a natural nuttiness that grounds the fragrance from the first light. Not synthetic, not candy. The note that gives Sweet Memories its name.

Almond — soft and warm alongside the pistachio, deepening the nutty character of the opening and pulling it toward the creamy woody base that follows.

Jasmine — quiet and soft in the heart. It sits between the nutty opening and the sandalwood base, adding a light floral quality that keeps Sweet Memories from reading as a purely nutty or gourmand candle.

Sandalwood — warm, creamy and woody in the base. The note that gives this candle its depth and the reason it lasts well in a large room. Sandalwood holds other notes around it and extends them, which is why the pistachio and almond read through the full burn rather than fading after the first hour.

Musk — soft and skin-like alongside the sandalwood. It extends the base and gives the room a quiet warmth that stays after the candle is out.

How to use

Burn Sweet Memories for at least two to three hours on the first light. At 300g, the larger ceramic takes time to build a full melt pool, and getting it right on the first burn sets the pattern for every use after that.

Trim the wood wick to around 5mm before each burn. Snap off any charred tip before relighting to keep the flame height steady and the crackle consistent.

Keep the candle away from draughts and direct sunlight when burning and when stored.

Wooden Wick Candle Care Tips

1. Trim the Wick: Before each use, trim the wooden wick to about 1/8 inch (3-4 mm) to ensure a clean and even burn. This prevents the flame from getting too high and smoking.
2. Initial Burn: Allow the candle to burn for 2-3 hours during its first use, or until the wax melts evenly across the surface. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn in the future.
3. Relighting the Wick: If the wick becomes difficult to light, remove any charred wood gently with a wick trimmer or your fingers. This helps maintain a strong flame.
4. Avoid Drafts: Keep the candle away from drafts, fans, or open windows to prevent uneven burning and soot buildup.
5. Burn Time: Do not burn the candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Allow the wax to solidify before relighting to ensure the best performance.
6. Extinguishing the Flame: Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame instead of blowing it out. This reduces smoke and preserves the fragrance.
7. Safety First: Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from flammable objects, children, and pets.

Additional Tips

1. Storage: Store candles in a cool, dark place to maintain their fragrance and prolong their life.
2. Wax Care: If the candle develops a memory ring, wrap aluminum foil around the top edge and let it burn for a few hours to even out the wax.

With these tips, you can enjoy a beautiful, clean burn and a delightful fragrance from your wooden wick candle. Happy burning!
