Winter in Scotland hits different, frost on the windows, dark afternoons by 4pm, two pairs of socks indoors and the universal desire to light something that smells like a hug.

Enter Winter Glade, our seasonal candle trio made for chilly evenings, cosy nights in, and every “shall we just put the heating on early?” moment in between.

This year’s line-up brings together smoky, warm, and softly-sweet scents that make even the coldest room feel inviting.

Let’s take a little wander through the glade…

Bothy Smoke

Smoked cedar • Cold air • Burning Coals

The first whiff feels like stepping into a tiny Highland bothy after a winter walk, cheeks rosy, gloves thawing, and someone’s already got a fire roaring for you.

Smoky, woody, crisp, with that perfect “fresh cold air” note underneath.

Best for:

• living rooms
• dark winter movie nights
• people who love Fireside but want something more grown-up

Pairs well with: A heavy blanket, a mug of something warm, and pretending you live on the Isle of Skye.

Cookie Crumb

Pomander spice • Orange peel • Gingerbread sweetness

Warm, spicy, a little juicy, and very “I baked something… (I didn’t, but the candle is doing the heavy lifting).”

This one is festive without being overpowering, a cosy blend of cinnamon, clove, citrus peel, and that soft cookie sweetness that makes your kitchen smell extremely like you have it together.

Best for:

• kitchens & hallways
• pre-visitor panic cleaning
• folks who want “Christmas” but not the pine kind

Pairs well with: Holiday films, cinnamon swirls, and rearranging the ornaments for the 17th time.

Coconut Slice

Sweet nutmeg • Soft vanilla • Toasted coconut

This is your unexpected winter sweet treat, warm, creamy, softly spiced and basically the smell of a traybake your gran refuses to give the recipe for.

It’s delicious without being sugary, nostalgic without being cliché, and glows beautifully in an evening kitchen.

Best for:

• bedrooms
• cosy afternoons
• people who secretly prefer dessert to dinner

Pairs well with: Fresh bed sheets, and a quiet moment to yourself.

Why We Love the Winter Glade Trio

• They’re warm without being heavy
• They fill a room quickly (even the 9cl jars!)
• They’re perfect gifts for pals, parents, and that neighbour who always accepts your parcels
• And honestly? They make winter feel romantic instead of… bleak.

Plus every candle is hand poured in Glasgow using soy wax and fragrance oils we’ve tested to perfection (truly! Our house smells like a year-round Christmas market at this point).
