Soft Floral & Romantic
Soft, blooming, romantic garden scents
This one feels like a proper garden in full bloom. Floral but not in an overpowering way. Ships from the US.
ENGLISH GARDEN by Sunday Someday
This one’s really soft and floral. Sweet pea and rose but still quite light. I love the jar as well, very cute,and actually useful once the candle’s gone.
GARDENS OF WALES by Little Bit Different
This one’s soft, floral and a little bit dreamy… geranium, rose and wildflowers. Has strong “I’ve discovered something lovely” energy.
THE SECRET GARDEN by Mackie's
This one leans more romantic. Soft rose, a touch of sweetness and a bit of depth from the patchouli. Feels thoughtful and very giftable. Also very easy to accidentally keep for yourself :).
COTTAGE GARDEN by Fox & Flora
A really lovely, warm floral. Not too sweet, just soft and slightly sun-warmed. Feels like one of those long afternoons where you’ve got absolutely nothing to do.
ENGLISH GARDEN by Parkminster
Fresh & Green Garden
Light, airy, slightly dewy, “open the windows” feeling
This one really reminds me of a walk through the countryside after it’s rained. Fresh, a bit green and just very calming. Ships from the UK.
ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE by YR Studio
This one reminds me of being outside when everything’s just starting to bloom. Light, fresh and very easy to like. Ships from the US.
English Garden by ANNA VINTIQUE
Fresh, floral and slightly green. Gives “walk in the garden” energy without leaving the sofa :).
ENGLISH PEAR & FREESIA by Biographie
If you like your florals fresh rather than “walking into a perfume shop” this is a good one. Light, airy and just warm enough to feel cosy, the kind of scent you don’t get tired of… hopefully.
ENGLISH GARDEN by Elyra
Floral, fresh and very “English garden”. Quite a noticeable scent but still easy to live with. Burns well too so you actually get a decent amount of use out of it.
GRAPE HYACINTH by Stoneglow
A really nice, clean floral. You get the rose but it’s balanced with something a bit greener. Feels fresh rather than overly perfumed.
THE FLOWER GARDEN by Gordon Castle Scotland
Refined & Slightly Posh
Polished, giftable, a bit elevated
This one’s quite refined. Not too sweet, not too floral, just nicely balanced The sort of candle that quietly suggests you’ve made better life choices than you actually have.
ENGLISH PEAR & FREESIA by Jo Malone London
This one’s more on the fresh side. Light florals with a bit of citrus and green notes Feels like the sort of candle you’d give someone when you want to look thoughtful and organised :).
GARDEN SONG by Fortnum & Mason
Fresh, herby and slightly woody. Feels like something you’d have on in a kitchen rather than for a cosy night in. Very giftable as well.
ENGLISH GARDEN by True Grace
A really fresh, floral one. You get the honeysuckle and rose but the grass keeps it from being too sweet. Smells like you’ve just opened all the windows…
SPRING by The White Company UK
Fresh, green and slightly moody. A bit less “garden in full bloom” and more “I’ve got my life together and read books”. Whether or not that’s true is another matter :).
