And if you thought that the smell of Pencil Sharpenings couldn't possibly make for a gorgeous candle, think again. With woody notes of cedarwood combined with patchouli, amber and 'the faint possibility of an after-school detention', this one will have you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside despite the cold Autumn evenings.
If you're a fan of lighter, more floral scents, Loaf's Granny's Garden wax candle is a throwback to lighter, brighter days – smelling of fig, rose and fresh grass. Not to mention the Laundry Days candle, which, with its scents of fresh cotton, laundry powder and sandalwood, has us hankering back to the days when we'd help hang out the washing for an extra bit of pocket money.
And who could forget the sleepless excitement of Christmas Eve as a child? If only you could bottle it...Well, Loaf actually have, recreating its fir tree, cedarwood and cinnamon-smelling anticipation in gorgeous candle form.
