In the box
Five things, no sleeve
- 1The candle, lid on, in its bottle-green glass
- 1Pressed-board lid, which doubles as the coaster
- 1Burn card with the pour date written on by hand
- 1Steel wick trimmer, 90 mm, blunt-tipped
- 2Sheets of unbleached tissue, the only packing used
The box itself is 1.5 mm greyboard with no print and no tape. It goes in the kerbside bin whole, or back to us flat with a return.
Getting it right
Three hours, then eight millimetres
A candle learns its shape on the first burn. Give it long enough to reach the glass the first time and it will never tunnel again; cut it short and you lose a third of the wax to the wall.
- 01
Burn it for three hours first
Long enough for the melt pool to reach the glass right across. Anything shorter sets a memory ring you cannot undo.
3 hrs - 02
Trim to eight millimetres
Cold wick, every time, with the trimmer in the box. A tall wick is the only reason a rapeseed candle smokes.
8 mm - 03
Stop at four hours
After four the glass is hot enough to dull the scent. Put the lid on, let it set, light it again that evening.

About this candle
What does Slyne No. 7 actually smell like
Turf smoke first, dry rather than sweet, then cut gorse and a mineral saltiness underneath. It is a cold smell, not a comforting one. People either love it on the strip or they never come back to it.
What does delivery cost and when will it arrive
€5.50 in Ireland and two to four working days from the Thursday post; free over €60. Britain and the EU are €9.00 and five to eight days. Orders placed after six on Wednesday go the following week.
How long is the returns window
Thirty days from delivery while the wick is unlit. Lit candles cannot be taken back, but if one tunnels or smokes in its first week we will replace it and want to hear why.
Which size for which room
220 g holds a room up to about 20 m² — a bedroom, a snug, a small office. 420 g covers 20 to 45 m² with three wicks and a wider pool. A hallway with a draught needs the larger one whatever its floor area says.
Does the refill fit this glass
Yes — the 220 g plug is cut to 78 mm, which is this glass exactly. Wash the empty with hot water and a drop of soap, dry it fully, drop the plug in and press. It burns the same as the first fill.
