How to Pick the Perfect Scent: A Guide from Our Studio

 How to pick the right scent???                                                        Rustic Woods and Rum

 Hint: There’s no wrong way to pick?

One of the most common questions we get is: “How do I choose the right scent?” And honestly—there’s no wrong way to pick. Scent is so personal. What makes one person think of a cozy childhood memory might remind someone else of their favourite holiday.

When I chat with customers at markets or online, I always start with the same simple question

Do you like fruity, floral, or something completely outside the box?

From the way they answer I can narrow it down to the perfect scent for them.


Wild Frangipanni

For fans of the florals I always suggest the Wild Frangipanni. It's got a very summer, very QLD vibe. Bold, breezy, and just a little wild.

But I never forget our fan favourites like Lavender and Victorian Rose and our Sweet Pea and Vanilla from the blossoming sisterhood range.

For those looking for something a little out of the box and  a cosy night in the Rustic Woods and Rum is a go to. If your style is more “bushwalk and bourbon” than “flowers and fairy lights,” this is your zone.



                                                                                                                                                                         Blood Orange

                                
   For the fans of the fruity scents, the idea of walking through the orchards , the blood orange is the scent for you not to mention theWatermelon Lemonade – sweet, juicy watermelon with a fizzy citrus kick. It’s the scent of summer in a glass—fun, fresh, and a little flirty, or the Lemon Zest – sharp and clean, like fresh-cut lemons on a sunny day






🤷‍♀️ Still Can't Decide?

So after all that sniffing and you still can’t narrow it down? Totally normal—there are just too many good ones!

May we suggest starting with our Melts

There's variety of scents, so you can try a few and take your time finding the ones that feel just right for you. No pressure, just pure sniffing fun.


We hope this little guide helps you making the right choice for you.

The Candle’s Out, But the Magic Continues

Here at Soaps Candles and Home, we hate the idea of anything ending up in landfill. That’s why, right from the beginning of our candle-making journey, we carefully considered how our vessels could be reused — even after the final flicker of the flame. Every jar, pot, and holder we create has been tested with reuse in mind, so once your candle has burned through, it’s just the start of a new story. Here are our top 5 reuses This dolphin pot was the perfect size for my claw clips - keeps them together and tidy I found the wild horses pot perfect for my hair ties. It stopped them getting caught in my claw clips and was the perfect size. And the cotton buds? They’ve found a new home in our little sailboat pot. It's such a joy seeing these vessels continue to be part of everyday life, long after the candle has burned down. Instead of having an untidy bathroom, everything now has its place — and it all looks so pretty! Our reused candle pots have helped create a space that’s not only mo...

Behind the Scenes: A Creative Collaboration with Matt Cornell & Amelia Kellerman 📸✨

There’s nothing more magical than seeing our products come to life in the hands of other creatives. Each piece begins its journey in our studio, crafted with care and attention to detail — but it’s when they find their way into the hands of photographers, stylists, makers, and dreamers that they truly shine. We love watching how each person’s unique vision transforms our soaps, candles, and homewares into something new, telling a story we could never have imagined on our own. It’s a reminder that creativity is a beautiful collaboration, and the magic is always multiplied when shared. We adore seeing our products come to life beyond the shelf—and this recent shoot with talented photographer Matt Cornell  and stunning model Amelia Kellerman was pure magic. We had never collaborated on something like this before but we were excited to go for it. Photographer Matt instantly put us at ease. Before the shoot began, he talked us through everything he intended to do, the mood he wanted t...
