Citronella Candles -Summer Bug Off
Summer evenings shouldn't be a battle for survival against pests. Most repellents rely on harsh chemicals that ruin the atmosphere; we rely on physics and high-grade botany. This isn't just a garden candle; it’s a sophisticated, essential oil-driven strike against the noise of the outdoors.
It leads with a sharp, high-intensity blend of Citronella and Lemongrass, immediately reinforced by the herbal grit of Lavender and Peppermint. This isn't a "scent" for the bugs; it’s a chemical-free barrier that creates a clean, revitalising perimeter for you and your guests. It’s fresh, it’s sharp, and it’s entirely unapologetic about whom it’s keeping out.
The Substance
We built this for the reality of outdoor living. At 450g, this candle is a heavyweight powerhouse housed in a brushed Stainless Steel vessel. We ditched the glass because the garden isn't a controlled environment; you need something that can handle the elements (and the occasional knock) without shattering.
The 450g Double-Wick Beast: Dual cotton wicks ensure a wide, even melt pool that maximises the essential oil throw. This is a 75-hour endurance piece designed to dominate the air from dusk until the last drink is poured.
The Steel Standard: Unbreakable, sleek, and functional. This isn't a "pretty jar"; it’s a permanent piece of outdoor equipment.
The Vessel's Second Act: Once the 75 hours are up, the steel remains. It’s the perfect, industrial-chic home for a succulent or a functional storage vault for your outdoor essentials.
The Clean Reality: 100% Natural Soy Wax. Zero pesticides. Zero synthetic shortcuts. We use pure essential oils because you shouldn't have to breathe in poison to enjoy a sunset.
The Profile: Sharp. Tactical. Fresh.
The Defense: Citronella, Lemongrass
The Reinforcement: Peppermint, Lavender
The Foundation: Pure Soy Wax
Bug Off is also available in a room & linen spray.
What wax do you use in your candles?
We use a natural soy & coconut wax for our scented candles, it’s clean-burning, vegan-friendly, and biodegradable. No palm oil. Just a beautiful, long-lasting burn that doesn’t pollute your space.Are your candles safe to burn around pets and children?
Yes, when used responsibly. Our scents are created using essential oils and high-quality fragrance oils, which are Paraben & phthalate-free. Always keep candles out of reach and never leave them unattended. Clean ingredients, but common sense still applies.How long do your candles burn for?
Depending of size, our candles offer approx 50–80 hours of burn time when cared for properly. Trim your wick, burn for 4+ hours at a time, and keep away from drafts to get the most out of every pour.Why is my candle tunnelling or not burning evenly?
It’s likely a wick or burn time issue. The first burn is the most important, make sure you allow the wax pool to reach the edges. We include a care card with every candle for this reason. You’re not alone, and it’s fixable.Can I reuse the candle jar once it’s finished?
Yes, and we encourage it. Our vessels are chosen not just for beauty but sustainability. Once your candle is finished, simply clean out the wax and reuse the jar for storing cotton pads, hair ties, makeup brushes, or even as a mini plant pot.
It’s a small act of reuse that adds upHow long with it be before my order is posted?
