Lemon | Buttermilk | Vanilla
Price range: AU$20.95 through AU$39.95
Savour the Moment is that little burst of joy you don’t see coming — a sweet lemon meringue candle that feels like taking the very first bite of a just-baked tart, still warm, still fluffy, still perfect. It’s bright, comforting and full of that sunshine-kissed sweetness that instantly lifts your day.
The scent blends zesty lemon with creamy vanilla meringue, creating a fragrance that’s equal parts fresh and indulgent. It’s cheerful without being sugary, cosy without being heavy — the kind of scent that fills your home with warmth, optimism, and a quiet reminder to slow down and enjoy the small, delicious moments.
This fragrance always takes me back to the days when I lived in Sydney, treating myself to a slice of lemon meringue tart at a little café — those tiny sweet rituals that made the world feel softer and reminded me to pause and breathe. That memory became the heart of this candle.
If you’d love a little ritual to go with your candle, here’s a beautiful cosy ambience to enjoy while it burns — perfect for those sweet treat moments you absolutely deserve: Cozy Coffee Shop on a Rainy Day.
Each candle is hand-poured in my coastal Queensland studio and finished with my signature touches — a hand-painted label, tiny gold sparkles brushed on by hand, and a protective varnish to seal in the love and artistry.

Sizes

♥ Signature Candle
My most generous size, designed to feel both elegant and special. It comes in a matte white glass jar with a reinforced base, finished with a white wooden lid and presented in a beautiful gift box. With 270 g of wax, it offers approximately 45 hours of burn time, making it perfect for everyday enjoyment or as a thoughtful, ready-to-gift piece.
♥ Large Tin Candle
A smaller, more portable option, created for flexibility and ease. Housed in a matte white vessel with a matching lid, it offers around 25 hours of burn time. It’s ideal if you love a lighter footprint — whether you’re travelling in a campervan, moving between rooms, or simply prefer a slightly smaller candle without compromising on quality or atmosphere.
Tips
Please take a moment to read my Candle Care Guide before lighting. It’s really important for your safety and will help your candle burn beautifully, right to the end.
Crafted with care
♥ Artful finish: Each label is lovingly finished by hand — I brush on tiny gold specks, then seal it with a hand-applied varnish. It’s my way of adding a touch of artistic magic to every candle, since I can’t hand paint each one individually.
♥ Handcrafted with care: Every candle is made in small batches in my home studio, using only high-quality, vegan-friendly ingredients.
♥ 100% soy wax: No blends, no nasties — just clean-burning, sustainable wax.
♥ Natural wicks: Cotton or wood wicks for a calm, steady burn.
♥ Phthalate-free fragrances: Gentle on you, better for your space.
♥ Premium jars and tins: Heat-resistant and stylish enough to reuse or display.
