As someone who enjoys the luxury of sitting reading in a room with a glass of wine and a scented candle flickering in the background, I have burnt through more than my fair share of candles.
Since I randomly discovered Evermore Candles whilst searching notonthehighstreet for a birthday present, I have become ever so slightly obsessed this brand and I am working my way through there catalog of candles. Needless to say the first candle I bought as gift had to be repurchased for the intended recipient!
Who is the Company:
Evermore London is an Independent company was founded by Sarah Deane, in 2015 and it is based in East London. She had been working in London for several years when she decided to start the company.
Best known for their candles using organic coconut oil, they also produce rooms sprays and potpourri in their signature Moon scent.
In addition they have a candle making kit for those who want to try blending their own unique scent and make customized candle favors for weddings.
Sarah has also spoken in the press of her intentions to expand the companies offerings to include soaps and homeward in the next year.
Where have I seen them:
On Instagram, and hidden in last weeks post about my bedroom.
Oh and they have won a tonne of recognition as an Independent company and for their products. For instance in December 2017 the North candle was featured in Vogue as one of the Top Christmas candles.

Which I can vouch for as we bought a North Candle after my other half declared that our Christmas tree did not smell "Christmassy" enough. The mix of Frankincense, Patchouli and Myrrh was the perfect mix for wintry nights near a fire.
What makes them different:
Unlike larger brands, Evermore candles are all made in small batches and hand poured. The small batch production process enables them to offer a personalised candle service in their signature scent for customers.
The company aim to use the purest organic ingredients in their candles. There is a commitment to ensure that they provide the best possible product for instance they moved away from using soy wax in their candles as it was not possible to get a truly organic soy wax due to the product process. They now using a blend of coconut and plant based waxes to create their products.
They have a clean burn and each candle you order online comes with a personalised note from Sarah and clear care instructions to make sure that you get the most out of your candle.
The degree of attention to detail makes their candles stand out from competitors with the simple but stylish packing designed to fit in whatever your homes aesthetic is. The screw lid is designed to ensure that no dust can affect the burn quality.
Why are they a showstopper:
In a luxury candle market it’s very difficult to come up with a product that stands out but the scent combinations of Evermore have the ability to feel nostalgic whilst remaining vibrant and unique.
They use the concept of a memory, albeit a season or time of year, and then create the scent to invoke that feeling.
Take their signature scent of Moon where the headiness of rose is balanced by balmy wordiness of clary sage and the warmth of amber to invoke the feeling of walking through a rose garden at midnight.
Indeed they treat their candles like a Fine fragrance with the top, mid and base notes, giving them a depth missing from some other candle brands.
For Valentines day this year they created the Blush Candle with an unusual blend of lilac flowers, juniper berry and ylang ylang for a pure floral scent which remains fresh.
My pick:
The 250ml Moon candle £25
It reminds me of the delicate headiness of Turkish Delight
