The scent of lavender speaks to us of happy memories made on warm summer days, simultaneously conjuring in the purple seas of the lavender fields of Provence and the formal borders of a beautifully manicured English garden.

Aside from smelling really nice, lavender is believed to have a calming and balancing effect on the body and mind. Understood to reduce feelings of anxiety and stress, it is frequently used as an aid for sleep.

Amethyst for clear-headedness – The word ‘amethyst’ translates from Greek as ‘not drunken’ and the ancient Greeks and Romans believed that it could reduce the intoxicating effects of alcohol. We can’t promise that taking amethyst with you on a night out will do anything to improve your stamina, but its combination with calming and relaxing lavender in this candle makes for a powerful team. Try spending an hour or so with our lavender candle before making a big decision, as feeling clear-headed, calm and positive can only help you to make the right choice!
