Agnes + Cat Votive Candle – Moonstone

A 200g soy wax votive candle from Agnes + Cat in the Moonstone scent — a layered, slightly mysterious fragrance that opens with red grapefruit and cranberry, develops through red sage, lavender, and saffron in the heart, and settles into a warm base of red cedarwood, hot amber, and coffee beans. This is a complex, evening-leaning scent in a reusable white glass jar with an embossed silver lid. The Moonstone Scent Moonstone is not a single-note candle. It moves through stages as it burns: the initial light is citrusy and bright (grapefruit, cranberry), the middle phase is herbal and aromatic (sage, lavender, saffron), and as the wax pool deepens, the base notes of cedarwood, amber, and coffee come through. The overall effect is warm, slightly spiced, and richly atmospheric without being sweet or heavy. This is one of the more sophisticated fragrances in the Agnes + Cat range — less obviously "pretty" than Japanese Bloom or Pressed Peonies, more complex and mood-setting. It suits living rooms and bedrooms in the evening, and pairs well with low light. The fragrance is a blend of natural essential oils and high-quality British perfume oils, which is the formula Agnes + Cat uses across their entire candle range. The throw is good for a 200g candle — it will fill a medium-sized room without overwhelming it. Soy Wax and Cotton Wick The candle is made from natural soy wax sourced from Indonesia, with a cotton wick. Soy wax burns more slowly and cleanly than paraffin, producing less soot. It also disperses fragrance effectively because soy has a lower melting point, creating a wider melt pool. The burn time is approximately 30 hours. The candle is poured into a white glass jar with a black label and embossed silver lid, and comes in a floral gift box. Getting the Best Burn On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the jar before extinguishing — this prevents tunnelling and ensures even burning throughout the candle's life.
