Description

Dreich – cedarwood and rosemary candle – for those days when the sky’s grey, the rain won’t stop, and honestly? You’re quite chuffed about it.

There’s no English word that quite captures “dreich.” It’s that particular Scottish weather – grey, damp, dreary, a wee bit miserable – the kind of day where you look out the window and think “aye, that’s more like it.” It’s not just rain, it’s persistent rain. The kind that settles in for the day and makes no apologies. This candle is an ode to those gloriously gloomy days: the earthy smell of wet leaves, the fresh scent of rain on moss, and the smug feeling of being warm and dry while the rest of the world’s getting a proper soaking.

Opening with liquor and fresh rosemary, Dreich immediately grounds you in that atmospheric, moody feeling. As it burns, woody cedarwood and dry amber mingle with the scent of water, damp leaves, and soft moss – like a walk through the woods after the heavens have opened. The base of earthy patchouli deepens the experience, capturing that rich, petrichor smell of Scotland doing what Scotland does best: being thoroughly, unapologetically dreich.

This isn’t just a candle – it’s a whole vibe. It’s the sound of rain battering the windows, the smell of wet earth and greenery, the choice between pulling on your wellies for a stomp through puddles or staying inside with a brew and zero guilt about it. It’s quintessentially Scottish, wonderfully atmospheric, and perfect for anyone who finds beauty in grey skies and horizontal drizzle.
