If you loved this one last year, welcome back – Wood Smoke Vanilla is properly back by popular demand.
This is one of those scents that sounds simple – smoky, vanilla, done – but it's actually beautifully layered. And if vanilla usually puts you off – you know, that sweet, sickly stuff you find in the cheaper candles – this is nothing like that. It's rich, oriental, and not sweet at all. Complex without being heavy, warming without being overpowering. The kind of scent that fills a room quietly and makes people ask what it is.
Scent Profile
Top Notes: Black iris, geranium leaves
Heart Notes: Jasmine, sweet vernal grass, cardamom, ylang ylang
Base Notes: Vanilla, flint accord, oud
It opens with cool black iris and fresh geranium leaves – there's a lovely greenness to it that's unexpected for a scent with "smoke" in the name. Then the heart unfolds into something warmer: jasmine and ylang ylang bring sweetness, cardamom adds a gentle spice, and sweet vernal grass keeps it grounded. Finally, the base is where the name makes sense – vanilla and the flint accord bring that signature smoky warmth, deepened by oud into something really rich. Complex without being confusing, and it genuinely fills a room.

Why You'll Love It
There's a reason people asked for this one back – it's genuinely special. The name makes you think it'll be all smoke and nothing else, but it's so much more layered than that. The iris and jasmine give it real elegance, the cardamom adds just the right amount of warmth, and then the vanilla and smoke settle in underneath and tie everything together. It fills a room beautifully without being in your face about it.
The scent throw on this one is gorgeous – properly fills a space with that smoky-sweet warmth. With approximately 88 hours of burn time, one clamshell will keep you feeling cosy through many an autumn or winter evening. If you loved it last year, stock up. If you're new to it, you're in for a proper treat.
It's complex, it's delicate, and it's brilliant. That's all you need to know.
