Inhale, the atmosphere abundant with the unmistakable warmth of moistened earth. Enveloped in its mesmerising yet moody aura, you exhale. A winding walk through the majestic oak trees, where dark leaves and decaying woods once tall and proud blanket the forest floor. Beneath the leafy canopy where sun seldom breaks, a tantalising tangle of deep moss, thyme and rosemary takes hold. Glowing notes of amber and leather strengthen underneath the surface, kissed with hints of jasmine just so. A sophisticated expression of umami, Shiitake speaks to those who see beauty amid the broken.

It's quite masculine and herbal, also confident, but not overpowering like some of their others What hits you first is the wood from the oak and then the thyme and rosemary. When it's lit it's winter, warming by the fire, the forrest all to yourself. The shiitake peaks through, the rosemary/thyme around the edges. The more I light it the more I fall in love with it. Can't wait to try the others in this range!

A moody, immersive forest journey — earthy, complex, and deeply grounding
No. 3 Shiitake unfolds like a twilight walk beneath an ancient oak canopy, where the air is thick with the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves. The dominant mushroomy warmth of shiitake invites you in, while the herbal brightness of thyme and rosemary weaves through the shadows, adding a fresh yet mysterious complexity. Beneath it all, subtle hints of amber and leather provide a glowing undercurrent, softly kissed by delicate jasmine — a touch of light amid the forest’s depth. This candle is a sophisticated, almost umami-rich expression of nature’s darker beauty, crafted for those who find elegance in the overlooked and the wild.
Why I adore it:
Earthy immersion: The rich mushroom note creates an enveloping, tactile atmosphere.
Herbal complexity: Thyme and rosemary bring a green brightness that balances the deep woodsiness.
Hidden warmth: Amber, leather, and jasmine add subtle layers that linger like whispered secrets.
No. 3 Shiitake is a candle for the introspective — a fragrant exploration of beauty found in shadow and decay.
