What makes Lily-Rose garden candles different?

Our garden candles are hand-poured in the UK using BP-grade beeswax, 100% pure essential oils and natural wooden wicks. Unlike many scented candles, we don't use paraffin wax or synthetic fragrance oils, creating a more natural outdoor experience.

Which essential oils are used in Garden Retreat?

Garden Retreat is scented with a carefully balanced blend of Citronella, Lavender and Lemongrass essential oils. Together they create a fresh, botanical aroma inspired by peaceful summer gardens and relaxing evenings outdoors.

What is Moss Agate?

Moss Agate is a crystal traditionally known as the "Gardener's Stone" because of its long-standing association with nature, growth and abundance. We include it in Garden Retreat as a mindful addition that complements the candle's botanical inspiration.

Can I leave my garden candle outside?

We recommend bringing your candle indoors after use to help protect it from rain, moisture and changing weather conditions. Storing it in a cool, dry place will help preserve its appearance and fragrance.

How long does a Garden Retreat candle burn for?

Burn time should be around 20 - 25 hours but will vary depending on how the candle is used, but trimming the wooden wick before each burn and allowing the wax to melt evenly across the surface will help you enjoy the best performance from your candle.

Are your garden candles suitable for outdoor dining?

Yes. Garden Retreat is designed to enhance outdoor moments with its soft glow and fresh botanical aroma, making it a beautiful addition to patios, balconies and garden tables during meals and gatherings.

How do I care for my beeswax garden candle?

Before each burn, trim the wooden wick to around 5 mm and allow the wax to melt to the edges of the vessel during the first burn to help prevent tunnelling. Always burn your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface and never leave it unattended.
