We have now been able to reopen our website for orders, so a massive thank you to all of our customers for your patience!

Today in the workshop we have been producing one of our favourite summer fragrances (that actually sells well all year round).

Argyll Evergreen shares the same pine extract as our Argyll Midwinter candle, but different essential oils give a completely different fragrance. Argyll Evergreen is blended with organic geranium rose essential oil which gives a floral note to the pine fragrance. A hint of bergamot essential oil gives a citrus tone to the final fragrance that is completely unique- and of course like all of our candles is free from artificial dyes, synthetics etc. just a fresh, natural, pure fragrance.

Our best selling fragrance at the moment is Argyll Evergreen, and is a perfect accompaniment to the beautiful sunshine we are getting at the moment here in Kilmelford!

Argyll Evergreen is one of our most unique fragrances in that it combines our own pine extract with organic geranium rose and bergamot essential oils. The result is a fusion between our popular pine based fragrance and our summer floral scents.

If you are looking to try something a bit different, this candle may be the one for you! Like all of our candles, this is made with vegetable wax not nasty paraffin, and no nasty synthetics or dyes, just a fresh, clean natural fragrance.

Buy online as either an amber apothecary jar or one of our great value double wicked tins with free UK delivery

Lovely to be enjoying the sunshine at the moment! Our candle workshop has been busy. A new delivery of candles was made to Carradale Community store this week and we will be delivering a fresh batch of candles to Made in Argyll in Oban at the weekend.

We have also been busy with our online customer orders. Summer Solstice is proving particularly popular at the moment, probably due to the lovely warm weather!

Summer Solstice is based on our own jasmine extract blended with bergamot and ylang ylang essential oils to give a beautiful fresh floral fragrance ideal for summer.

Happy Easter weekend to all of our customers!

Our workshop will be taking a break for a few days but today we were making a new batch of Caledonian Forest, one of the first candles we made, and still one of our best selling candles.

This candle is ideal for those people who don’t like strong artificial fragrances- in fact having said that none of our candles have artificial fragrances! But Caledonian Forest is the most delicate of our fragrances with natural pine extract blended with organic sandalwood and clove essential oils and a hint of vanilla.

This candle should be available at all of our stockists as it is one of our more popular candles, however you can also order directly from us online with free UK delivery.

All of our candles are handmade in Kilmelford, and are available in 2 sizes, our 120 ml amber apothecary jars or our 300 ml double wicked tins.
