There's a particular kind of quiet that settles when you light a candle made with pure essential oils. It's softer than scent alone. It feels like the room itself is exhaling.
I didn't set out to make candles. Years ago, in the middle of my own healing journey after cancer, I became fiercely protective of what I allowed near my body and into my home. Synthetic fragrance oils, phthalates, and anything that felt chemically “loud” no longer belonged. I turned instead to pure essential oils — the same ones I had already been exploring for meditation and personal perfume — and slowly began pouring small batches of soy wax in my London kitchen. What started as a private ritual of calm became Jayne & Wick.
Every candle I make still carries that original intention.
The Ingredients Behind the Intention
I choose only pure essential oils and phthalate-free fragrances because they offer something more than a pretty aroma. They bring the living plant into the room.
Citronella, lemongrass and peppermint in Citronella Glow don’t just smell fresh — they lift the air on long summer evenings.
The bright citrus and soft lavender in Joy Burst feel like a burst of hope.
Juniper Zest invigorates with its crisp herbal edge.
And Lunar Bloom — with its gentle blend of clary sage, geranium and neroli — has become the scent so many of you light when you need the day to soften and the nervous system to settle.
These are not laboratory approximations. They are the real botanical extracts, carefully balanced so the candle burns cleanly and the fragrance unfolds slowly and truly. No heavy synthetics. No hidden phthalates. Just natural soy wax, pure oils, and the quiet confidence that what you’re breathing is as kind as it is beautiful.
Why It Feels Different
I pour every batch by hand in small quantities here in London. The signature amber glass jars are chosen because they feel substantial in the hand and because they are meant to be kept, refilled, reused, turned into something new once the wax is gone. There is a small, deliberate pleasure in that cycle: light, enjoy, refill, begin again.
If you’ve ever wondered why a Jayne & Wick candle feels different once it’s lit, this is why. It isn’t only the scent. It’s the care that went into choosing ingredients gentle enough for everyday life and honest enough to match the moments of self-connection we all need.
I’d love you to experience it for yourself.
