I hardly ever go out and buy scented candles but I am sometimes given them as gifts or receive them as a GWP (Gift with Purchase) when I buy something else.
Many years ago I was given a Lily-Flame Summer Pudding candle as a birthday gift and I loved it. I actually went out and bought another one as soon as it finished. And to this day the smell of this candle reminds me of summer. I have also bought their Honeysuckle Glow candle and the smell has to be experienced to be believed.
I would also like to try these ones!
From the Flame Lily Website:
Jo started making candles in her kitchen in 1994 (a tradition she revisits every year in the hectic run-up to Christmas!)
She and her business partner Luc started out by driving to markets across the UK in their trusty ex-Royal Mail van, ‘Martha’, selling Jo’s handmade candles.
After eight years of 5am starts, market stalls and sleeping in the van, they found a home for Lily-Flame, and traded Martha for a converted cowshed in the Somerset countryside!
All British, all Royal…
Prior to starting Lily-Flame, Jo was a model. Her best known work was Stephen Hender’s famous ‘Sebastiana’ poster, which recently saw a new lease of life as the cover for the bestselling book ‘Endgame’ by Denise Robertson.
But Jo turned her back on a modelling career when she discovered her true passion; making candles!
She managed to find a mentor (the royal candle-maker David Constable), and ended up being sponsored by the Prince’s Trust. In fact, Lily-Flame was selected from over 60,000 businesses to be one of 21 “Prince’s Trust Champions”, celebrating the Trust’s 21st anniversary of its Business start-up initiative in 2004.

While our candles have many imitators, no–one else has ever managed to replicate the magical combination of yummy scents, bold designs and smile-inducing names that make it a Lily-Flame candle. Not only that, but we’re…
The industry standard leaders who invented the ‘candle in a tin’…
Back when we launched our very first scented candles in tins, we knew we were onto a winner. But little did we know that every Tom, Dick and Harry would soon be copying us!
The iconic tin we designed here at Lily-Flameway back when has since been adopted as theindustry standard. Imitation is the highest form of flattery, so whenever you see a candle made by one of the countless, faceless imitators, you can smile to yourself in the knowledge that the tin they’ve slapped their label on was actuallydesigned by Lily-Flame.
And of course, there are some things that can never be copied. You see, we don’t justrely on the finest ingredients, the splendidest scents and the loveliest designs. Most important of all, every Lily-Flame candle includes a secret ingredient…
The secret ingredient is love…
Jo and Luc carefully choose each scent to ensure that your candle has the perfect balance of authenticity, nose and “throw” (the candle’s ability to gently fill a room with gorgeous scent).
Then they pour tons of love, care and attention into naming the candle and creating the perfect package design.
Finally, everyone on the candle making team puts the same level of attention to details and tender loving care into pouring, chunking and wrapping your candle. In fact, our secret ingredient is probably why we’re…
