We think candles are a bit like w**e.
You might have a favourite, but life would be pretty boring if you only ever drank from one vineyard.
We make our own little corner of the fragrance world, and we love seeing other independent NZ makers thrive in theirs.
So, with gifting season approaching, here's a little love for three fellow makers we know and reckon you should know too.
Different makers. Different scents. More to love.
Shop small. Smell different.

For dads who don’t need another mug.

Father’s Day gifts can be a bit predictable, so here are a few that wont get put in the cupboard with last years gift.

To***co & Clove
Warm, spicy and rich, with just enough depth to keep things interesting. Available as a **candle or diffuser**, depending on whether Dad likes to light it or leave it to quietly do its thing.

Spiced Rum — Limited Edition
Dark rum, charred orange, cracked pepper, clove and warming spice. This one’s a little more special — we only made **100**, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Leather Body Bar
A proper everyday bar with a rich leather fragrance. Useful, different, and considerably less likely to end up forgotten in a drawer.

Cedar Shave Bar
For the dad who still appreciates a proper shave. Cedar gives it a clean, woody edge without heading into generic “men’s grooming” territory.

Kitchen Candle
For the dad who’s happiest standing over a pan, barbecue or chopping board. Designed for the kitchen and a very good excuse to acknowledge who actually does the cooking.

A few Father’s Day ideas for dads who are difficult to buy for — or who simply deserve something a little less predictable.

Smell Something Different.

Dads deserve good gifts. Preferably ones that won’t quietly disappear into a drawer. From distinctive candles to handcrafted soaps, we’ve got Father’s Day covered with gifts that smell considerably better than another pair of socks.

Father’s Day is Sunday 6 September. Shop the range at https://f.mtr.cool/kfckqruqdm

Something dark is making its way into port.
Charred citrus. Warm spice. Woodsmoke. And more than a generous measure of dark rum.
Our next Limited Edition Spiced Rum arrives this weekend.
Only 100 have been made.

Stocks simmering.
Roasts in the oven.
Ramen on a slow evening.

Autumn cooking at its best.
All incredible aromas in their own right… but like all good dinner guests, they should be gone by morning!

Our 'Kitchen' candle keeps things fresh, so the moment stays just right.
