Inspired by a freshly brewed cup of masala chai warming your hands (my latest obsession), aromatic spices lifting your senses and the cooler autumn air outside your window. Our new Autumn Blend is inspired by the heart of chai - layered spice, natural warmth, and deep comfort - created using only pure, therapeutic essential oils.

Transform your living space into a cosy sanctuary this season.

TOP NOTES
Green cardamon, ginger root - ginger brings a fresh, slightly zesty warmth, while cardamom adds a soft spice aromatic. Helps to ground anxious energy while keeping the mind alert. Ginger is often associated with “inner fire” - excellent for when energy feels low or scattered.

HEART NOTES
Cinnamon bark, clove bud - richer, deeper oils, anchoring the scent’s character, giving the blend its unmistakable chai warmth. Helps to promote feelings of warmth, confidence, and vitality and combat feelings of fatigue or stagnation.

BASE NOTE
Vanilla CO2 extract - soft vanilla rounds out the sharper spices and adds a creamy, comforting finish that lingers. Promotes feelings of safety and warmth.

Available in our large amber candle. Apothecary candle, aroma mist and diffuser blend available from 9 March.

Autumn arrives softly, like a permission slip to slow down. The light turns golden, the air carries a quiet chill, and the world begins to fold inward. It is the season of exhale.

What a lovely way to end the year! I absolutely love receiving messages like these. Each candle, aroma mist, perfume is made by me with love and intention ~ and always with you in mind. Each scent has been carefully designed to have specific therapeutic qualities. Some blends come to me quickly and some have taken years to refine. Emotional Rescue continues to be our best-selling scent and I just love how many of you adore it.

A slow, clean burn…
Our clean-burning aromatherapy candles are where Poet started and we continue to produce consciously designed products without potentially harmful fragrance including natural aroma mists and essential oil blends.

What makes Poet candles clean-burning?

We use high-quality, therapeutic-grade essential oils for their beautiful natural aroma and wellbeing benefits.

Each Poet scent has been created by founder Melanie Morris, to support aspects of your wellbeing - whether it be to relieve feelings of stress and overwhelm, to promote joy and happiness or support vitality and focus.

Our candles are made with sustainably produced and clean-burning coconut wax which gives a beautiful, luscious slow burn for maximum burn-time.

How is coconut wax sustainable?

Coconuts are considered a sustainable crop due to the high yield and crop renewal per acre. Our pure coconut candle wax is non GMO and has no pesticides.

How is coconut wax clean-burning?

Coconut wax is just coconut flesh that has been hydrogenated - there’s nothing added to this process and you certainly won’t find paraffin or other petroleum based stabilisers present. Coconut wax emits zero soot particles, as the wax is petro-carbon soot free and doesn’t add toxic carcinogens (that can be present in waxes), into the air you breathe.

We also use cotton, lead-free wicks and recyclable or reusable packaging.

Our candles and aroma mists are refillable and we offer a nation-wide refillery service from our Wellington based studio.

We are a small family-business based on the South Coast of Wellington. We pride ourselves on our high production standards, ethical work practices and creating products that inspire the joy of ritual.
