The Oh So Pretty 280g is a large amber candle built for rooms where the passionfruit and peony need space to carry. Tropical and bright at the open, soft and warm at the base - the same playful character as the 200g, with more wax and a fragrance throw that works across open living spaces.
Hand-poured in Melbourne, 280g natural soy wax, FSC certified wood wick. The large fruity candle in the Renaissance range for when the room is bigger than a standard size can handle.
About the Oh So Pretty 280g
Fruity candles at a large scale can go one of two ways. They either lose their brightness as the wax volume increases, or they lean into it and become overwhelming. The Oh So Pretty 280g does neither.
The 280g ceramic produces a wider melt pool than the 200g as the soy wax burns, which releases more fragrance into the air and pushes the passionfruit, orange and peony further into the room. What changes is not the character of the fragrance - it is the reach. In an open living area or a large bedroom, the fruity brightness that makes Oh So Pretty work does not get lost. It travels.
Passionfruit and orange open it with the same tropical lift as the 200g - vivid, slightly tart, unmistakably summery. Peony moves through the heart as the burn deepens, softening the fruit into something more considered. The amber base is what the 280g does best: at this volume, the warm, resinous base note has room to settle into a large space properly, which is why this is the large amber candle for rooms where you want the fragrance to stay, not just pass through.

Scent Notes
Top: Passionfruit, Orange Heart: Peony Base: Amber
Reading the Notes
Passionfruit — sweet, tropical and slightly tart. At 280g, the opening is bright enough to lift a large room without needing to be directly beside it.
Orange — citrus lift alongside the passionfruit, keeping the top fresh and alive as the burn begins. The note that stops the fruity opening from reading as purely sweet.
Peony — soft and floral in the heart. It pulls the fragrance away from straight tropical territory and gives the 280g a quieter, more settled character as the burn moves through its middle phase.
Amber — warm and resinous in the base. At this volume, amber does the most important work: it anchors the fruity and floral notes above it, extends the burn and fills the kind of space a 200g cannot quite reach.
Why 280g
The fragrance in Oh So Pretty is built to shift as it burns. Passionfruit and orange lead, peony follows, amber grounds. At 200g, that journey plays out well in a bedroom or mid-size room. At 280g, it plays out across the whole room.
The wider ceramic diameter creates a larger melt pool, which means more fragrance releasing at once. For a large fruity candle in an open living area or dining room, that is what makes the difference between a scent you notice when you walk past and one that changes the feel of the room from the moment it is lit.

The 280g is for open spaces where the fragrance needs to reach. For smaller rooms or gifting, the 115g travel tin carries the same fragrance at a lighter scale.
How to Use
Burn the 280g for at least two to three hours on the first light. The larger ceramic takes longer 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 use. Snap off any charred tip before relighting to keep the flame steady and the crackle consistent.
Keep the candle away from draughts and direct sunlight when burning and when stored.
