Windermere Botanical Soy Wax Candle

£22.00

The Still Waters and Open Skies of England’s Largest Lake

Fresh, calm and quietly beautiful, the Windermere Botanical Soy Wax Candle by Agnes + Cat captures the feeling of standing at the water’s edge at first light. Bright bergamot and citrus orange open into a heart of lavender, rose and lily of the valley, resting on a warm base of musk, amber, tonka and woods.

Hand-poured in Sheffield using 100% natural soy wax with real dried flowers visible through the glass and a sustainably sourced crackling wooden wick. A 350g soy wax fill provides up to 40 hours of burn time. The illustrated gift box depicts the still waters and surrounding landscape of Windermere with silver foil detailing and a verse from Wordsworth’s Daffodils. Natural variation in the botanicals means every candle is a unique handmade 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 Windermere smell like?

Fresh and serene. Bright bergamot and citrus orange give way to a gentle heart of lavender, rose and lily of the valley. Musk, amber, tonka and woods in the base add warmth and depth, creating a fragrance that feels as open and calm as the lake itself.

Is Windermere good for everyday burning?

Yes. Its fresh, clean character works year-round and suits almost any room. Light enough for daytime and warm enough to feel welcoming in the evenings.

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.

Where is it made?

Each candle is handmade in small batches in Sheffield, England, by the Agnes + Cat team.

Is this suitable as a gift?

It is beautifully suited to gifting. Each candle arrives in a gift-ready box featuring a hand-drawn Lake District landscape illustration with silver foil detailing and an original poem, no additional wrapping required.

The Poem on the Box

I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high o’er vales and hills, when all at once I saw a crowd, a host, of golden daffodils; beside the lake, beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

William Wordsworth

Safety Note Keep dried botanicals away from the flame at all times while burning.
