Whimsy & Wist Candles

I'm Donna, founder of Whimsy & Wist Candles. I started my business after feeling frustrated at the candles available on the high street, which often didn't disclose how they were made or didn't smell of anything after the first burn. My mission was to create a range of candles that were as sustainable as they could be whilst also smelling great, burn after burn.

I'm also fascinated at the way in which scent can transport us back to moment in time and evoke emotions, so my scents are designed with wellbeing in mind, as well as being inspired by nature.

My motto for Whimsy & Wist is 'Tread Lightly'. The raw ingredients in my candles are vegan and cruelty-free, and made from eco soy wax and paraben-free, high quality fragrance oils. My packaging is recycled and recyclable, as well as being plastic free.

My candles are hand poured in small batches in my garden studio in Northamptonshire.
