Machair Flowers Candle in Glass

These Tumbler candles are a great way to fragrance your home whilst setting a cosy atmosphere with its gentle light. They will last around 45 hours and will fill your room with a beautiful fragrance that won’t overpower.

The floral notes of our Machair fragrance come from the colourful wildflowers native to the Hebrides of Scotland. Subtle hints of kelp harmonise with harebell, gentian, orchid and bluebell, to create a botanical scent inspired by Scottish shorelines. 

Burn time: Approx 45 hours

Scent info: Machair is a word of Gaelic origin that refers to the grassy area found on parts of the northwest coastlines and is particularly gorgeous and prevalent in the Hebrides. It’s a very fertile spot and the floral notes of our Machair fragrance come from the colourful wildflowers that grow in Skye. Subtle hints of kelp harmonise with harebell, gentian, orchid and bluebell are brought together to create a botanical scent. 

May says: We have tested our fair share of candles and have chosen Skye candles for their eco credentials. We find that often a soya based candle doesn't carry the scent as well, but these really do scent a room well.

A little about Skye Candle Company: Our natural wax which we use in all our candles is a blend of soya and botanical oils which are completely healthy and toxin free. The wax is sustainable, biodegradable and burns longer and brighter than other waxes. The wax itself is derived from ethically sourced American grown soya, primarily from Illinois and Iowa.

Our reed diffuser base is also a derivative of soya so shares the same environmental qualities as the wax. We specifically avoid soya from South American countries where the soy plantations have been known to be amongst the causes for deforestation.
