Roses of Sawrey Botanical Soy Wax Candle

£22.00

A Soft Floral Tribute to Beatrix Potter’s Lake District

Inspired by the roses growing around Hill Top cottage in Near Sawrey, the Roses of Sawrey Botanical Soy Wax Candle by Agnes + Cat is a romantic, nostalgic fragrance with genuine literary roots. Gentle citrus blossom and rose bloom open into a soft heart of jasmine, muguet and violet, settling into a warm musk and woody amber base.

Hand-poured in Sheffield using 100% natural soy wax, this candle is finished with real dried flowers visible through the glass and a sustainably sourced crackling wooden wick. A 350g soy wax fill ensures up to 40 hours of burn time. The gift box features a hand-drawn illustration of Beatrix Potter’s garden at Sawrey with silver foil detailing and an original poem. Natural variation in the botanicals means every candle is a uniquely beautiful piece.

Lighting Your Candle

First Light

Trim the wooden wick to approximately 5mm before your first burn. Allow the wax to melt fully to the edges of the jar on this first use, approximately 2 to 3 hours. This sets the wax memory and ensures even, consistent burning for the entire life of the candle.

Every Burn

Trim the wick to 5mm before each use. Burn for a maximum of 4 hours at a time on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from draughts, curtains, and flammable materials. Never leave a burning candle unattended.

Wooden Wick Care

The gentle crackle of the wooden wick is part of the experience. Trim away any charred wood between burns to maintain a strong, clean flame. If the flame appears low, extinguish fully, allow to cool, then trim before relighting.

Botanical Safety

This candle contains real dried botanicals. Keep the dried flowers away from the wick at all times while burning. Botanicals may ignite if they come into contact with the flame.

When Your Candle Is Finished

The glass jar is designed to be kept. Fill with boiling water to release remaining wax, allow to cool, then remove and wash with warm soapy water. A beautiful vessel for any room in the house.

What does Roses of Sawrey smell like?

A soft, romantic English garden fragrance. Citrus blossom and rose bloom open the scent before jasmine, muguet and violet take over the heart. Warm musk and woody amber in the base create a fragrance that is nostalgic and calming without being heavy.

What is the connection to Beatrix Potter?

The candle is inspired by the roses that grew around Hill Top cottage in Near Sawrey, Beatrix Potter’s beloved Lake District home. The gift box features a hand-drawn illustration of the cottage garden alongside a quote from Potter herself.

How long does the candle burn?

With proper wick care, trimming to 5mm before each burn and keeping sessions to a maximum of 4 hours, you can expect up to 40 hours of burn time.

Why soy wax?

Soy wax is a natural, plant-based material that burns cleaner and longer than paraffin. It produces minimal soot, is kinder to your home environment, and carries fragrance beautifully throughout the burn.

What is a wooden wick?

A wooden wick is a sustainably sourced piece of wood that burns with a gentle crackling sound, similar to a log fire. It burns evenly and cleanly, adding a wonderful sensory element to the experience.

Are the botanicals safe?

The dried flowers are decorative and should be kept away from the wick at all times while burning. Botanicals may ignite if they come into contact with the flame. Please supervise your candle and ensure the flowers remain clear of the flame at all times.

Can the glass jar be reused?

Absolutely. Once the candle is spent, fill with boiling water to loosen any remaining wax, allow to cool, then remove and wash with warm soapy water. A beautiful vessel for any surface in your home.

Is this candle vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes. Every Agnes + Cat Botanical Soy Wax Candle is 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and made without any animal-derived ingredients.

The Poem on the Box

In Summer there were white and damask roses, and the smell of thyme and musk. The place is changed now, and many familiar faces are gone, but the greatest change is myself.

Beatrix Potter
