ion candles

with the spring season here at long last, it brings with it blooming bulbs, easter treats and the inexplicable urge to give your home a thorough going over. spring cleaning can feel great until you find yourself surrounded by piles of clothes or bin bags and with absolutely no momentum to keep going and finish the project you started. however big or small you decide to go, it is a lovely time of year to reset your space, make it feel fresh and ready for the months ahead.

that's where candles come in. after all the sorting, scrubbing and decluttering, it's the finishing touches that really bring a space back to life. lighting a candle is a simple way to shift the atmosphere, instantly adding warmth, calm and a sense of reward after all your hard work.

our collection of ion candles are perfect for the job. created by nikki mcmurray in 2020, ion candles are hand poured in small batches practically down the road in co. meath. made from a combination of rapeseed and coconut wax these candles burn slowly and cleanly. they are also free from paraffin, soy, palm, beeswax and synthetic additives. the brand name ion, meaning “pure,” perfectly encapsulates the ethos behind these candles.

nikki's attention to detail really shines through in each carefully crafted fragrant candle. with a chef for a dad, choosing the right ingredients and creating the perfect balance comes naturally to her. presented in a handy tin, these candles make a perfect gift or a well-deserved treat for yourself. available in six different scents they are ideal for bringing a sense of calm and cosiness back into your home after a day of spring cleaning.

my favourite scent is fig leaf and musk, why don’t you come in and have a sniff to figure out which scent is yours?
