Soy Candle in Metal Box – Mandarin
Mandarin is the warmest, most friendly of the citrus family: sweetly fruity and fresh but never sour or sharp.

Scent profile
The top note is bright, sweet mandarin – direct, sunny, fruity-fresh. The heart note introduces orange blossom and a whisper of bergamot, adding depth to the citrus base. The base note is soft, creamy soy wax that rounds out the composition and ensures a long, pleasant dry-down. The scent is full of energy yet never tiring.
How to use
Place the candle on a firm, heat-resistant surface. On the first burn, keep it lit for at least 2 hours until the entire wax surface has melted – this prevents tunnelling. Trim the wick to 6 mm before every subsequent lighting. Keep away from draughts and flammable materials, and never leave unattended.
Why choose this candle
Mandarin is well known as a mood-lifter: research suggests citrus aromas strengthen positive emotions, boost concentration and reduce anxiety. This makes the candle an excellent companion for starting the day in the morning, supporting productivity in a home office, or creating a welcoming atmosphere at festive gatherings. Agnes and Cat soy candles burn cleaner than their paraffin counterparts thanks to their natural base.
