Greenman Woodwick Soy Candle, Midnight Rose

• The scent leans floral and lingering, made for quiet evenings rather than bright daytime freshness.
• There is a woodland feel beneath the rose, giving the candle a grounded, tucked-away atmosphere.
• The wooden wick brings a gentle crackle, adding sound as well as scent to a slow evening ritual.
• It suits a bedside table, reading corner, bath-time pause, or the centre of a calm living room.
• The glass jar keeps the look simple and steady, easy to place among books, plants or soft lamplight.

The candle is made with soy wax in a glass jar, with a woodwick for a softer, more atmospheric burn. Soy wax is a plant-based candle wax, often chosen for its smooth melt and gentle scent throw.

The materials include soy wax, glass, cork, paper, cornstarch and wood. Together, they keep the presentation natural in tone, without turning the candle into something fussy.

Place the candle on a heat-proof holder or plate before lighting. Trim the wick to about 5 mm before each burn, as a shorter wick helps the flame stay steadier.

Let the wax melt evenly across the surface where possible, especially on the first burn. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from curtains, papers, draughts and anything flammable.

The Greenman name carries a woodland feeling, rooted in the image of the leaf-covered face found across European folklore and old stone carving. Here, that mood comes through in a softer way: a rose scent set against an earthy, evening atmosphere, made less formal by the crackle of wood. It is not a ceremonial object that asks for a complicated practice. It is simply a small ritual for marking the change of pace, when the lights go low and the room becomes still.

This is a 150 g scented candle from the Greenman Rituals Woodwick Soy Candles range, with an approximate burn time of 26 hours. The scent is Midnight Rose.

It makes a considered gift for someone who loves floral scents, cosy rooms and small rituals at home. Choose it for birthdays, housewarmings, winter evenings, or as a gentle thank-you for someone who enjoys candles with atmosphere.
