What is is about the smell of washing that is so evocative? Perhaps it's memories of freshly laundered pyjamas after bath time as a kid, or being tucked up in soft, sweet-smelling sheets. The smell of certain detergents can trigger memories of best friends' houses, a crush you sat next to in school, or a holiday cottage you spent happy times in as a child.

There appears to be a strong connection between the scent this everyday tasks carries, and feelings of safety, homeliness and belonging. Perhaps that's why Laundry Day just hits the spot for so many people.

A truly fresh, bright and clean fragrance which delivers floral yet soapy notes to any space. Great in hallways, where you catch the fragrance as you brush past. This is on the stronger end of our scent spectrum.

Started in 2014 by Amalia Pothecary and James Osborn, The Botanical Candle Co. Ltd is a home-grown business.

Working only with 100% soy wax flakes, every single candle is still made by hand from beginning to end. The candle fragrances the team creates are close to nature with un-fussy, recognisable scents that are comforting and familiar. Minimising the environmental impact of the business is at the forefront of every decision and plastic-free packing and re-filling are closely focussed on.
