Bring some Scandi style to your home
You’ve probably heard of hygge by now. Over the last few years, particularly as winter sets in, lots of people are drawn to this Danish concept. Its exact meaning is hard to define, but it’s basically about being cosy, comfortable and content – enjoying the simple things in life, like curling up with a good book or relaxing by the fire with a mug of steaming hot chocolate (or our preferred option, an old fashioned). Still confused? Listen to Dean Martin crooning Let it Snow. That just about sums it up. Paddywax’s Hygge range of 15oz hand-poured soy wax candles are the easiest way to bring this mood into your daily life. A choice of five subtle fragrances in Scandi-inspired matte ceramic vessels with copper lids really bring home the warm minimalism trend.

Make sure the entire top layer of wax liquifies the first time you burn your new candle. This typically takes 3-4 hours, so you might want to plan ahead! This will help avoid tunneling. You should also be sure to trim your wick to 1/4" if it gets longer than that. If you plan to repurpose your candle vessel by popping the wax out, this process can be made easier by leaving a quarter to a half inch of wax in the vessel
A powerful scent or aroma can instantly transport you to another place. The fragrance of fresh pine needles takes us straight to Scandinavian forests, while the whiff of woodsmoke reminds us of campfires and coffee. It’s a combination of memory, emotion and nostalgia, triggered entirely by your sense of smell.
In a non-stop world, lighting a scented candle is a simple act that encourages us to take a moment, relax and breathe. US brand Paddywax understands this need intimately. Their soy wax candles are hand-poured in Nashville, Tennessee. And each one tells a specific story or evokes a particular place, thanks to a carefully selected blend of beautiful scents, all inspired by the great outdoors.
