While the sector has changed immensely, the company’s promise to produce high-quality candles remains the same. Today, the company boasts a vast product range, with something to suit every age, lifestyle and budget while retaining the ethos of value and quality. Testament to this is the company’s retention of a Royal Warrant as candlemakers to Her Majesty the Queen, which was awarded in 1850 after Price’s Candles developed the Sherwood candle for the wedding of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1840. The Fragrance Collection is the newest addition to the range. Launched in 2018 to appeal to a younger generation of candle lovers, it boasts an array of contemporary scents and designs, made with the highest-quality waxes and fragranced throughout. The launch includes six brand-new fragrances, taking the collection to an impressive 30 scents and offering a variety of candle sizes, from the smallest tins to large glass jars. Reed diffusers are also offered alongside the candles to create the perfect fragrance layering in any home.

With more than 300 gin distilleries in the UK, the craze for the juniper-infused spirit shows no sign of slowing down. To meet this trend, Pintail Candles has launched its bestselling G&T fragrance across several ranges, including the elegant Elements Candles and the Reed Diffuser collection. Also on the menu is a newly crafted Rhubarb Gin fragrance, which bursts into life with juicy rhubarb and juniper berries fizzing in effervescent lime and grapefruit zest. The dash of sparkling Elderflower in the Triple Wick and Paint Pot is the perfect complementary tonic. Capturing the trend in home interiors for natural stones, quartzite and granite, the demand is growing for fresh, invigorating fragrances, evoking dramatic upland landscapes and rugged coastal living. The Lakeland Spring fragrance has notes of marine, citrus and cedar wood and is available in the Paint Pot candle range as the perfect harmony to the popular Sea Salt fragrance with oceanic notes of sage, bergamot and freesia with amber and seaweed.
