About Under the Hazelnut Tree

Gourmand candles have a reputation for being too much. Too sweet, too close to food, too much like being inside a patisserie for an hour too long.

Under the Hazelnut Tree is a gourmand candle that knows where the line is.

The hazelnut opening is roasted and warm rather than synthetic or candy-sweet. It reads as the real thing - nutty, slightly toasty, the kind of scent that feels like a considered decision rather than an air freshener. Brown sugar follows in the heart, adding sweetness without weight, a warmth that rounds the hazelnut without overtaking it. Almond sits alongside it, soft and slightly marzipan in character, deepening the nutty quality of the opening and pulling the fragrance into genuinely cosy sweet candle territory.

The base is where it settles - warm, soft and quietly persistent. Not sharp. Not cloying. The scent equivalent of sitting somewhere comfortable with no particular reason to move.

This is the candle for kitchens, dining rooms and the kind of living rooms where people end up staying longer than they planned to. People who describe themselves as not liking sweet candles find this one sits differently. The hazelnut and almond keep it grounded in something natural, which is what stops it from becoming too much.

Developed in-house by founders Suji and Jeeva, IFRA certified, cruelty free, poured by hand in Melbourne. Part of the Santorini collection, which draws its character from warmth, slow afternoons and the kind of places you do not want to leave.

Scent notes

Top: Hazelnut Heart: Brown Sugar, Almond Base: Warm Gourmand

Reading the notes

Hazelnut — roasted and warm in the opening, with a natural nuttiness that reads as genuine rather than artificial. The note that gives this candle its name and its character from the first light.

Brown sugar — sweet and soft in the heart, without the heaviness of a full caramel or toffee note. It rounds the hazelnut without competing with it and gives the candle its warmth through the middle of the burn.

Almond — slightly marzipan in character, sitting alongside the brown sugar in the heart. It deepens the nutty quality of the opening and adds a softness that pulls the whole fragrance toward the cosy, warm base.

Warm gourmand base — the foundation that holds Under the Hazelnut Tree together and what remains in the room after the candle is out. Soft, sweet and persistent without being heavy.

How to use

Burn Under the Hazelnut Tree 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!
