Why this exists
The Hush exists to offer a thoughtfully made lavender candle for moments that call for stillness. Its fragrance is built around a true lavender accord that is floral, slightly herbal, and not synthetic, with linalool, limonene, geraniol, and coumarin shaping the scent as described. The soy wax base and cotton wick are chosen for a clean, even burn in a 100 ml vessel, so the candle can settle a smaller room into quiet without feeling heavy. It is designed for winding-down and pre-sleep rituals, with a slow burn that supports a calm atmosphere as the fragrance unfolds. Made to order in the EU and US, and presented as vegan and cruelty-free, it keeps the focus on the ritual of lighting, breathing, and letting the room change pace.

What to expect
In the room, over the burn
First light
Lavender establishes within minutes, with a floral and recognisably true character rather than a synthetic sharpness.
Mid-burn
As the melt pool deepens, the accord becomes warmer and softer, with the coumarin base adding a faint hay-like dry-down.
After hours
The room holds a calmer register, and the slow soy wax burn supports a steady fragrance presence through the candle's life.
The deeper detail
The formulation, the provenance, the standard
Formulation
The base is natural soy wax, plant-derived and renewable, selected for its lower melt temperature relative to paraffin : a property that preserves volatile top notes during burn and produces a cleaner-smelling room. The unbleached cotton wick is sized to the 100 ml vessel for a full-width melt pool without overheating.
The fragrance composition is built around Linalool as the primary aromatic compound, the terpene alcohol most responsible for lavender's characteristic soft-floral character. Limonene provides a bright, slightly citrus lift to the opening minutes of burn, preventing the accord from becoming heavy or flat. Geraniol adds a rosy-floral complexity that deepens the lavender note past simple sweetness. Coumarin, present in natural lavender oil as a trace component, contributes the faint, warm hay-like dry-down that distinguishes a well-composed lavender from a one-dimensional one.
The vessel is 6.8 cm high and 5.8 cm in diameter. A mandatory regulatory safety label is positioned on the base.
Provenance
A small-batch boutique house, made to order. Every candle is hand-poured within two working days of your order, then dispatched from the fulfilment centre closest to you : our European facility for United Kingdom and European Union customers, our United States facility for North American customers. Because every candle is poured to order, the wax has not been sitting in a warehouse under fluctuating temperatures : the fragrance is as true at your door as it was at the pour. Two-day production is the price of freshness, and the boutique standard we hold ourselves to.

Lavender scent improved
Switched out the old one for this and it’s settled the lavender note quietly. It’s got the soft scent I wanted and the burn stays steady enough that evenings feel a bit more relaxed, with a better finish than the pricier one I was using before.

field scent
Actually smells real, not synthetic. Warm and herbal underneath and it filled my sitting room nicely after about half an hour, though the jar is a bit smaller than I expected.

burn matches price
After my evening shower, I use it on my forearms and a bit on my neck. Lavender is calm enough, though the jar lid sticks a little. Still, for the price, I keep reaching for it.

Subtle and settled
Couple of weeks in, after dealing with flaky, reactive skin for ages, I was after something that would just sit in the room nicely rather than shout over everything. This candle does that. The lavender feels calm and measured and after a long stretch it leaves the place feeling warmer and more settled, tbh. Lovely for anyone who likes things understated.

Does the job for winding down. Dry lavender with a bit of herbal coolness. Lovely in a small room.

Decades of calm glow
Ordered the candle hoping for something that would suit my skin and still feel a bit special and it has been a lovely find. The lavender is soft rather than sharp and it burns cleanly with a steady glow. For me, that long-lasting, gentle feel makes the whole room feel more settled.

Firmness looks better
Fine lines look softer and my skin feels a bit firmer after this lavender candle, with a genuinely soothing scent that eases the room before sleep.

quiet and clean
Im fussy about lavender candles but this one gets it right. The scent unfolds gently, room ends up calm not perfumed. Natural soy wax and cotton wick make a difference. Only wish the 100ml lasted longer because I go through it quickly. Would definitely buy again though.

true lavender
Actually smells like lavender, not that sharp cleaner note. Floral with a slightly herbal edge. Burns evenly in my bedroom and perfect for the last hour before sleep.
