Christmas Hearth Candle

Christmas Hearth - The fire has been burning all day, logs stacked high and glowing red at their centres. You settle into the armchair closest to the hearth, where the warmth wraps around you like an old friend. The scent is deep and grounding: patchouli rising from the woodpile, earthy and rich, mingling with the sweet spice of nutmeg that drifts from the kitchen where something delicious is being prepared.

On the mantelpiece, a bowl of mandarins sits waiting, their bright, zesty fragrance cutting through the heavier notes with a burst of festive cheer. Clove-studded oranges hang nearby, their sharp, aromatic warmth filling the gaps, spicy and comforting all at once. It's the scent of Christmas at its cosiest: the crackle of flames, the hum of contentment, the layering of spice and citrus and earth that makes a house feel like home. You close your eyes and breathe it in, grateful for the fire, the warmth, and the simple pleasure of staying exactly where you are.
