Nette makes hand-poured candles in a coconut and soy wax blend, and the scents are the reason people come back to them. The range here runs from the minis at the lower end up to the eleven-ounce vessels, and most of the candles sit between forty and ninety dollars, which puts several of them in range as gifts.
The minis are 2.6 ounces and burn for forty to fifty hours, which is longer than the size suggests. The larger vessels run ten to twelve ounces and burn for around sixty hours. Several are poured into mouth-blown or specialty glass rather than a standard jar, and those vessels are meant to be kept: the Pearl Dust container works as a mug once the wax is gone, and the Laide Tomate mini as a shot glass.
The scents cover a lot of ground. Pearl Dust is the most popular, and reads as warm and slightly sweet. The Magician is close behind, with mandarin and cardamom over cedarwood and palo santo, and it is one of the most distinctive in the range. Midnight Strike and Dream Land lean darker and smokier, and Dream Land is poured at eleven ounces with notes of pink pepper, roasted chestnut, leatherwood and vanilla bean. Supernatural is elemi and geranium over plum skin and labdanum, finishing on birch and forest moss. Guava Soda and Laide Tomate are the brighter, fruit-led ones.
Fons et Origo, Sunday Chess and Suede Fringe round out the range, and between them they cover most of what someone is likely to want on a bedside table, a desk or a mantelpiece.
A few practical things. The wicks are cotton, and the wax is a coconut and soy blend rather than paraffin, so they burn cleanly without the blackening that cheaper candles leave on a wall. Once a candle is finished, warm water and a little detergent will lift the remaining wax out of the vessel.
Nette is one of the makers we carry most consistently, which is why their scents appear across the wider candle collection as well as here.
We keep the range in stock, and new scents arrive through the year. If there is a particular scent or size you are looking for that you are not able to find on the website, reach out to us and we will be glad to help.
