All candles are 100% soy wax, free from paraffin, GMO and unnatural additives. Fragrance oils are phthalate -free fragrances, and we use natural cotton or wooden wicks, meaning you will be breathing in a clean burning scent. We implement low waste initiatives in the making of our candles.

All of our candles are handmade - by us! Each one will have its own unique identity and we can be 100% confident with the materials used.

Of course ! We can make candles to order using our signature floral scents and in different sizes and different vessels - glass, ceramic, pottery, tin, vintage china and crystal. When considering the size, think about where you may want to place your candle to enjoy it - next to your bed or beside a bathtub or in a living, open space area.

You can! We offer a candle refillery service - ideal to refill those candle vessels that are a treasure and important to you. Pick from our range of floral scents, either a favourite or try something new. Contact us on info@socialscent.co.nz to order your refill.

To ensure the best burn experience, trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each lighting and keep the candle away from drafts and flammable objects. For more detailed instructions, we have a candle care guide with 8 key things to consider.

We provide all the equipment and materials in a two-hour workshop where participants will make a medium sized candle (a choice of new or vintage containers) and two tea light candles. There are options to add on a wreath making experience as well as options for refreshments - just let us know what you would like!

Workshops can be held at a venue of your choice, or you can attend a workshop held in a beautiful garden setting in Martinborough.

Floriography, or " the language of flowers" is the art of communicating through different flower types. All flowers hold different meanings, often based on the type of flower, the colour of the flower, or both. We have incorporated these meanings into our products and encourage you to explore them!

Yes we do! We are pleased to have several partnerships and are always on the lookout for new opportunities. Please send an email to info@socialscent.co.nz for all inquiries and we will send you back a product information sheet including wholesale pricing and options for bulk ordering.

If you have a question, about one of our products or services, please contact us at info@socialscent.co.nz and we will get back to you ASAP!
