The cleanest thing we make, and the one most people put in a guest room. Iris root gives it a powdery weight that keeps it from smelling like laundry detergent, which is the trap every linen candle falls into. Named for the river that runs through the middle of town.

Burn it with: Fresh sheets, a fan going, and nothing scheduled.

Best in: Guest rooms, bathrooms, and anywhere that needs to feel reset.

Getting the most out of it

The first burn sets the rest

Let the pool reach the edge of the vessel before you put it out, even if that takes two hours. Wax has a memory, and a first burn that stops short will tunnel for the life of the candle.

Trim the wick, every time

Wooden wicks want about 3 mm. Pinch the burnt lip off with your fingers before each burn. A long wick smokes, soots the glass, and burns through your candle a third faster.

Four hours is the limit

Past four hours the vessel gets hot enough to change how the fragrance reads. Put it out, let it cool, light it again after dinner.

Stop at 10 mm

When there is about a centimetre of wax left, retire the candle. Wash the vessel out with hot water and keep it. The stoneware is the point.
