A Guide to our new Home Fragrances

We’ve re-developed our fine fragrance candle range in a new larger candle with refreshed design and with a positive move to a natural soy and rapeseed blend wax and making improvements to the formulations.

If you’ve heard of any kind of candle wax, it’s probably soy. And that’s for good reason. Soy Wax is the go-to wax choice for many candle makers nowadays thanks to its eco-friendly credentials, clean burn, and quality scent throw.

Our candles carry their scent perfectly to create a luxury experience that will infuse interiors for up to 50 hours.

1. Discovering your candle

The first impression when you take it out of the carton, before you burn, is the cold 'Throw'. The first whiff. The hot throw is a term that signifies how the candle reveals itself when burning, the radius of Miller Harris candles scent can be quite profound, inviting you in to discover more.

2. Choosing your scent

What are you in the mood for, and where are you? This is really what determines what to burn and when.

In the foyer, opt for a candle that is warm and inviting. Comforting scents like Figue or Mandarin are ideal for creating a great first impression for guests and your family.

In the den or the sitting room during cold winter months, Tabac and Santal are great options. The warmth of a woody tobacco blend and a beautiful nuzzly sandalwood, moss and musky scent bring comfort and luxury.

For the bedroom, choose something more romantic. Rose is ideal for a petally, dewy and musky rose scent.

Take a bath with the fresh yet calming aroma of our Tea candle. A medley of earthy earl grey and zesty bergamot, this perfectly balanced candle will revitalise and refresh, creating a dreamy spa-at-home experience.

3. Layering your candles

Love a few? Why not layer to create a mood for your environment. Include Mandarin for a playful mood with its juicy pear and suede note, a floral mood with Rose, or a fresh and warm match with Santal.

4. It's all about evolution

The beauty of our candles is the journey they take you on—from a top note impression of fresh, citrus and green aromatic notes, to the heart of florals and spice, and finally to the base notes that linger longest: woods, musks and amber.

5. The first burn

The first burn is the most important to candle health. Initially burn your candle for at least two hours so that the top layer of wax can fully melt from edge to edge, preventing a memory ring from forming. A good guideline is one hour of burn time per inch of candle diameter to prevent tunnelling and ensure even melting throughout the candle’s life.

6. The wick

Trim regularly to ensure an optimal burn. The length of the wick corresponds to burn speed, so keep it maintained to not more than 1/8 inch (2mm). Centre the wick when the wax is liquid so that it burns symmetrically and doesn’t affect the vessel.

7. Recycle

Reusing your Miller Harris holder is encouraged! Hot water and a towel will help remove any residue.

8. Safe burning

Burn your candle away from drafts, heat sources and out of reach of children.

9. Storage

Protect both the fragrance oils and wax from heat and light. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Allow the candle to return to room temperature before burning. When wax reaches half an inch, discontinue use to avoid overheating surfaces.

10. Keep them clean

Wipe off any residue or dust with moist cotton, mild soap and water.
