Smells Like Heaven is a banana bread candle that fills your home with a warm, comforting sweetness — ripe banana, soft vanilla and gentle spice drifting through the air like something just pulled from the oven. It’s the kind of scent that makes you slow down, wrap yourself in a blanket, and stay a little longer.

Inspired by quiet, joy-filled mornings and the simple comfort of home, this candle captures that feeling of ease and nostalgia — the soft, golden moment when everything feels safe and unhurried. Comforting, familiar, and a little indulgent, it’s my way of bottling that “everything is right in the world” feeling.

Each candle is hand-poured with care in my coastal Queensland studio and finished by hand with a sprinkle of gold specks and a protective varnish — my little brushstroke of magic on every piece.

This fragrance is also available as a matching room spray — perfect for instantly refreshing a space, layering with your candle, or enjoying the scent during the day when a flame isn’t practical. A few sprays is all it takes to bring the same beautiful mood into your home.

Quick Tips

Crafted with Care

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.

Quick 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.
