Choosing a candle online is easier when you start with a fragrance family you already enjoy. Think about whether you usually reach for citrus, fruity, floral or woody scents, then read the notes on the individual candle page. Derwent Candles hand-pours soya wax candles in County Durham, with options for everyday rooms and cosy evenings.


Fresh and citrus


If you like bright, zesty fragrances, try Lemongrass & Ginger. It balances citrus character with warming ginger. Eucalyptus, Orange Peel & Lemongrass combines herbal and citrus notes with rose buds, lilac and a woody base. These are useful starting points if you prefer a fresh scent to a sweet one.




Sweet, fruity and softly floral


Hugs combines bergamot, peach, apple, coconut and strawberry with floral notes and a base of soft woods, amber and musk. Raspberry & Rhubarb is another option to explore if fruity fragrances are usually your first choice. Read the full scent description to compare their characters.




Warm and woody


Havana blends tobacco, leather and amber with rum, clove, bergamot, labdanum, oak, moss and a hint of orange. Choose this direction if you enjoy deeper scents. For seasonal fruit and spice, explore Cranberry, Orange & Cinnamon.




Choose the format as well as the fragrance


Compare jar size, wick count and the stated burn time on each listing. A smaller jar can be a thoughtful introduction to a new fragrance, while a gift set pairs complementary products. Always follow the care and safety instructions supplied with your candle.
