Sound familiar?

Another candle? Exactly what we thought.

We had lovely candles before too. The expensive ones you ask for on your birthday. The evening went the same way regardless: laptop shut, phone open, and your head carried on right where the day left off.

That is exactly what we built this set for, and then used ourselves: phone away, match struck, candle lit, press play. For twenty minutes a calm voice walks you through the evening. And lighting it does something no scented candle does.

It draws a line under the day.
Everything before it was the day. Everything after was the evening.

The lovely candles are still here. But they sit with the decor. This one stands next to the sofa and has a job.

What makes this set different

The opened set with seven slim black candles and the card beside it
  • Not a scent object, but the signal: the day is over
  • Lighting it makes more of a difference than any scent. The moment is the product
  • Twenty minutes feels doable. Not a programme, just your evening off
  • Matte black, a quiet flame, no kitsch

No screen. No subscription. One match.

It does not even have a scent. That is the point.

Every posh candle on the shelf is selling you a smell. We left the scent out on purpose. The evening should be quiet, not perfumed. There is nothing to breathe in and decide about, nothing competing for the room. Just a flame, a voice, and twenty minutes that belong to you.

And because it is unscented, it does the opposite of a fragrance candle: it gets out of the way.

The 7-Day Set

99 EUR one-time. VAT included, free shipping, no customs charges. Your card is charged in EUR (roughly 85 GBP).

The ceramic holder shown is not included in the set.

Do the maths: a good candle from the posh counter costs 50 to 70 pounds and can smell lovely. Here you get seven candles, seven guided evenings and a month of the app for 99 EUR, about 85 pounds. Less than two candles off the fancy shelf, and this one has a job.

Common questions

I do not have 20 minutes in the evening.
Those 20 minutes usually go anyway, just to scrolling. The ritual replaces them, it does not sit on top. And if an evening falls through, it falls through. The candle waits.
I cannot do this sort of thing. Sitting still is not for me.
You do not have to. You are guided and cannot get it wrong: light it, press play, listen. That is all it is.
And after the month, does the subscription start?
No. 99 EUR, one-time. The app month is included and simply ends if you do nothing. Nothing renews by itself.
How fast does it arrive?
Free tracked shipping from Germany with DHL GoGreen, typically 3 to 7 working days to the UK. UK VAT is included at checkout, so there is nothing to pay at the door.
Which devices does the app run on?
iPhone and Android. Access comes after your order, and the first session guides you step by step.
Do I need a candle holder?
The candles fit any standard taper or dinner-candle holder. The ceramic holder shown is not included in the set.
Is it scented?
No. Deliberately not. The evening should be quiet, not perfumed.
Why 99 EUR for candles?
Because it is not decor. Seven hand-poured candles, seven guided evenings, a month of the app. A good candle from the posh counter costs 50 to 70 pounds, and once it has burned down it is simply gone.

The evening is yours. Light it.
