Been buying E+A candles for years. They smell just wonderful, brilliant that they are refillable and love that they are independently made. Thanks, Lesley! X

Dusk, Wild Garden, Roses Candles
If you’ve ever come to this beautiful site and wondered why most of the products are always sold out, I put my hands up, I’m the culprit! But rest assured, they’re not always for me. I buy them as treats for wonderful people who deserve these gorgeous treasures. Thank you Lesley again for being so accommodating and for creating such wonderful products that have been gifted far and wide.

Sol Bathing Salts
The bath salts are beautifully fragranced and very moisturising. The skin on my feet is so much softer now.

Autumna Candle
I ordered the Autumna porcelain candle and refill. I love them, they smell incredible and the porcelain holder is gorgeous. I liked them so much I've ordered more candles in Smoke ready for winter.

Smoke & Dusk Candles
Absolutely love your products! Best candle scents I’ve ever experienced and am an avid candle user from many high end retailers. Nothing compares to yours. Hands down the best!

Wild Garden Candle
A modern take on a fresh/floral scent. Evocative of greenery, new flowers and something slightly mystical in the background! Along with Roses, this is another of my favourites.

Dusk & Wild Garden Incense
I wanted you to know that I haven't even opened the box of treasure from you yet - I haven't needed to, as it is sitting in my home office and smells incredible, even all packaged up. I can imagine the delivery person sniffing the box, as I had my whole family do. Every time I light what is left of my last order of Dusk incense, my family members appear and say how wonderful it smells and can I light another stick? We so appreciate your work.
