    Osmology candles and hand cream with green scents

    Candles that smell of the greenhouse

    The Tomato Leaf Scented Jar Candle is crisp, green and a little sharp, with the smell of tomato plants in a warm greenhouse. It suits a kitchen or a conservatory, and it brings back the growing season in the middle of winter. The Bonsai Tree Scented Jar Candle opens with orange, grass and yuzu, with jasmine and petitgrain over a base of balsam and woods.

    Both candles hold 140g of 100% plant-based wax, burn for around 30 hours and come in a reusable amber glass jar with fully recyclable packaging. They suit a room full of plants, such as a shelf of easy care houseplants or a collection of bonsai.

    Green Bamboo hand cream

    The Green Bamboo Hand Cream has pink pepper and cardamom at the top, patchouli and sandalwood in the middle, and cedarwood and cypress at the base. It comes in a 75ml tube, uses 98% plant-based ingredients and is free from parabens, sulphates, phthalates and silicones.

    It is a good choice for anyone who finds most hand creams too sweet. If they prefer floral or fruity scents, the Kew Gardens hand creams are a softer alternative.

    Building a gift around a candle

    A candle and a card make a simple present: our greeting cards are watercolour houseplant designs, blank inside. Add a Namaste leaf decoration or a brass Plant Animal from Another Studio for a plant lover. The candles also appear in our housewarming gifts and Christmas gifts.
