Purbeck Candles

Purbeck Candles are made on an old oil fuelled aga in a pretty cottage on top of a hill over looking Corfe Castle, just 14 miles from &Keep. These heavenly-scented, hand-poured candles and wax melts are made with responsibly farmed soy wax and presented in copper tins, amber glass jars or recyclable cardboard tubes.

The candlemaker, Phaedra, adores beautiful fragrances - smells that conjure a mood or a happy memory. "It’s a fascinating science, the power of smell. Certain smells make us happy, others relax, some lift the spirits and inspire. It is one of the most powerful senses and I have always found this to be intoxicating. The subtle waft of perfume as you pass a stranger in the street. The rich fragrant hit of herbs & spices wafting through an open window that make your taste buds tingle. A warm and inviting fragrance that greets you as you enter your home, embracing and enveloping you in its many layers.
