The thing about Grapefruit is that it can be a little too, well, “grapefruity” - a kind of sharp, citrusy nothingness which disappears in a nanosecond (mehhhh!). What we wanted to create was that beautiful clean, zesty note that Grapefruit can offer if you get it right, but we needed to add some extra notes to make it hang around a while to make it a perfect range of scented candles.

So, let us introduce you to Armoise – a fabulous essential oil reportedly widely used by witches in medieval times to conjure up vivid dreams and time travel and used by Culpeper as a cure for baldness. We won’t comment on that (best not...) but as part of our Shine fragrance it helps add some substance and depth whilst allowing the perfume to remain clean, bright – and shiny! (Yay.....)
