Myrtle & Moss Soy Candle: Fir, Pine & Spruce — A Forest-Fresh Ambience, Hand-Poured with Pure Intent
For those who seek sanctuary in nature, this hand-poured soy candle distils the essence of an old-growth forest into every room. Notes of fir, pine, and spruce unfurl in clean, resinous waves — cool, herbaceous, and quietly invigorating — carried by a pure cotton wick through a base of sustainably sourced soy wax. With up to 50 hours of burn time, it is not simply a candle; it is a ritual of calm, brought indoors.

As the cotton wick combusts, the heat liquefies the surrounding soy wax pool, releasing the blended fir, pine, and spruce essential oils as volatile aromatic compounds into the air. Soy wax, having a lower melting point than paraffin, creates a wider, cooler melt pool that maximises fragrance diffusion while producing minimal soot or toxins. The terpene-rich essential oils — particularly alpha-pinene from pine and spruce — interact with olfactory receptors to deliver a clean, forest-layered scent. This terpene profile has been studied for its association with reduced cortisol response, supporting a genuinely calming atmospheric effect.
