Pure Light - natural candles
One of our best-loved flowers, the small but perfectly formed primrose, looks beautiful in South Devon's high country hedgerows right now. They show that 'spring has sprung' like no other flower and seeing them has turned our minds to fresh air and bright, clean natural scents...
We've been burning our two freshest natural candles – Lemongrass & Lime (voted best scented candle by Homes & Gardens magazine!) and our bestselling Bergamot, Grapefruit & English Rosemary candle, that combines the best citrus scents of a Mediterranean summer with a bright traditional British herb. Both these scents are wonderful for fragrancing every room in the house, but Lemongrass & Lime is perfect for the kitchen, especially after cooking. Alternatively, if the weather holds, it works well outdoors in the garden.
Whatever your plans this Easter, whether you're at home or visiting friends and family, take a little bit of spring with you, with our purest, freshest natural scented candles.

We've got reason to celebrate! Renowned beauty journalist, co-author of The Beauty Bible Jo Fairley Sams, loved our Bergamot, Grapefruit and Rosemary scented candle. Featuring on the 'We Love' section of the The Beauty Bible online, read on to find out more...
"Pure Light candles, £22. One of the things I really don’t like about scented candles is the way they become dust-traps. So I really appreciate that this Pure Light candle comes with a metal lid that can cover it up when not in use – although frankly, the candle I’m enjoying is so addictive, there’s not much chance of it gathering dust on my desk. (The burn time is a generous 50 hours – and the candles burn evenly, unlike some I could mention.) My particular favourite is Bergamot, Grapefruit & Rosemary – a wonderful summery uplifting smell that’s great for the office, as it keeps me alert. But the all-natural scented candles also come in Lemongrass & Lime, Mandarin and Lavender, English Lavender and Cinnamon, Orange and Clove (a limited edition that almost – well, sort of – makes me look forward to Christmas) plus lots more scents, too. Pure Light promise the candles are made without any artificial ingredients at all, using soya wax. (In order to avoid the use of paraffin, some natural candles use palm wax – which has been linked with rainforest devastation.) Find them on-line at www.purelightuk.com, or click here to go straight to the Bergamot, Grapefruit & English Rosemary candle."
A big 'thank you' to Homes & Gardens magazine for our lovely mention in its Christmas issue. Our gorgeously warming Cinnamon, Orange & Clove and seasonally fresh Pine Needle & Eucalyptus were in the spotlight.

Here's some ideas how Pure Light natural candle scents work around the home...
Best for Living:Nothing feels nicer than a beautiful scent throughout the house. For most of us it’s not really cost-effective or practical to have fresh-cut flowers everyday. So Pure Light natural candles are a great way to enhance living areas, all the while smelling great. With over 50 hours burn time and aromatherapeutic benefits, too, there’s nothing but good things to enjoy.
Pure Light recommends the following blends for living zones in the home:
Rose Geranium and Black Pepper
A NEW fragrance to our natural candle collection, this stunning addition is soothing and seductive, so perfect for evenings or weekends. Appealing to both male and female scent buds, it offers the perfect balance between sweetness and a peppery zing. Black pepper essential oil is infused into subtler notes of rose geranium for a punchy, yet easy-to-live with scent sensation. Great for open plan spaces and home offices.
Bed and Bath Scents:
We work longer hours than ever, so relaxation is something we need to set time aside for. Pure Light candles create a fragrant, soft-lit environment to aid true relaxation. Pure aromatherapy-grade essential oils, expertly hand blended to form the finest candle scents, offer a natural quick fix de-stress solution. Simply run a bath, light a Pure Light natural candle or two, and let the gentle pure fragrances soothe your senses.
Taking a break from testing our brand new natural candle scent (out soon!) and enjoying one of the best views South Devon has to offer. Autumn is almost here and we're looking forward to lighting some of Pure Light's warmer candle fragrances to suit the cooler weather. Soothing English Lavender or balancing Rose Geranium & Black Pepper are perfect to snuggle up with as the nights draw in. 
We're thrilled that our new delivery of English Lavender has just arrived! Straight from the wonderful lavender fields of Norfolk and Cambridgeshire, the plants are distilled right here in the UK to produce the finest quality essential oil available. We use this therapeutic pure essence in both our relaxing English Lavender natural candle and our soothing Green Mandarin & Lavender natural candle (with a hint of special British-grown Sweet Marjoram oil).
