Vanilla Dream is that soft, enveloping comfort you melt into the moment it reaches you — a sweet vanilla candle that feels like wrapping yourself in a warm, familiar hug. Creamy, smooth and irresistibly nostalgic, it brings that gentle sweetness that instantly makes a space feel calmer, cosier, and beautifully lived-in.

The fragrance blends velvety vanilla bean with creamy buttermilk and a whisper of coconut, creating a scent that’s warm without being heavy, sweet without being sugary, and comforting in the most effortless way. It’s the kind of aroma that quiets the noise, soothes the senses, and softens the edges of your day — pure, creamy serenity in candle form.

If you’re curious about where vanilla comes from and why it has such a beloved, nostalgic aroma, this short video is quite fascinating:
The Surprising Origins of Vanilla.

For the label, I chose one of my artwork pieces that mirrors the softness and glow of this fragrance — warm tones, gentle highlights and a dreamy palette that feels like sinking into a favourite blanket.

If you'd love to pair this sweet vanilla candle with a little self-care ritual, try letting it burn while you journal, read, stretch gently, or enjoy a slow evening reset. It’s the perfect scent companion for quiet moments where you want to breathe, unwind and return to yourself.

Each label is finished by hand — I brush on tiny gold sparkles by hand, then seal them with a hand-applied varnish. It’s my way of adding a little artistic magic to every product.

Handcrafted with care and a sprinkle of artistic magic in my coastal Queensland studio.

♄ 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.
