The Lemon Drop 280g is a large lemongrass candle built for open spaces. Bright citrus and lemongrass up front, white musk underneath, no sweetness anywhere. The same clean, energising character as the 200g, with more wax and a longer burn to carry it further.
Hand-poured in Melbourne, 280g natural soy wax, FSC certified wood wick. The large fresh scented candle in the Renaissance range for rooms that need a candle that can actually keep up with them.
About the Lemon Drop 280g
Some rooms need more than a standard candle can give.
Open-plan living areas, large bedrooms, spaces that run into each other without walls to hold the scent in - these are where a 280g candle earns its place. The larger wax volume means a wider melt pool, a stronger fragrance throw and a burn time long enough to actually matter.
Lemon Drop at this size does what the fragrance promises and then some. The lemongrass-forward opening is bright and clean, with a citrus edge that does not tip into sharpness. It does not sweeten as the candle burns down. The white musk base keeps it grounded - present enough to give the scent staying power, quiet enough not to change its character.
The result is a fresh home candle that makes a large room smell considered. Not perfumed. Not like a product. Just awake and clean in a way that shifts how the space feels before anyone puts a name to it.
The FSC certified wood wick burns with a broader flame than a cotton wick, melting the soy wax evenly across the full diameter of the ceramic. At 280g, that melt pool takes time to build - which is exactly what you want from a large aromatherapy candle. Let it run for the first two to three hours and it rewards you.

Scent Profile
Bright, clean and lemongrass-forward. Crisp citrus opens the candle with energy and lift. Lemongrass gives it a slightly herbal edge that keeps it from reading as sweet. White musk sits in the base, extending the fragrance and keeping it fresh rather than heavy as the burn progresses.
This is a long-lasting citrus candle built for rooms that need the scent to travel. Not a subtle background note. Not overpowering. Present.
Why 280g
The difference between 200g and 280g is not just burn time. It is how far the fragrance goes.
A larger wax volume creates a wider melt pool, which releases more fragrance into the air as the candle burns. For a large open room, that is the difference between a candle that scents the corner it sits in and one that actually changes how the whole space feels.
The 280g ceramic is the right choice for living rooms, open-plan kitchens and dining areas, or any space above around 30 square metres. For smaller rooms, the 200g Lemon Drop ceramic or the 115g travel tin will do the job without overwhelming the space.
How to Use
Burn the 280g for at least two to three hours on the first light. The larger diameter takes longer to reach a full melt pool, and building it properly on the first burn sets the pattern for every burn 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 direct sunlight and draughts when burning and when stored. Both affect how evenly the wax burns and how well the fragrance holds.
