Description
Taps Aff Candle – for that glorious moment when Scotland hits 15°C and everyone collectively loses the plot.
You know the drill. The sun makes a rare appearance, the temperature creeps above 15 degrees, and suddenly every park in Scotland looks like Magaluf. Shirts off, Factor 50 nowhere to be seen, pasty white skin out in full force. Never mind that it was absolutely hoaching down yesterday – today is summer and by God we’re making the most of it. This candle captures that pure, unbridled joy (and mild delusion) of a Scottish heatwave. It smells like Sun Tan Lotion, no’ sweaty man!
Opening with bright bergamot, spicy cardamom, and fresh orange flower, Taps Aff immediately lifts your spirits like that first ray of unexpected sunshine hitting your vitamin D-deprived face.
As it burns, a lush floral heart of jasmine, ylang ylang, and exotic tiare unfolds – warm, tropical, and wildly optimistic for a country where “taps aff weather” is anything above freezing.
The base of rich benzoin, creamy tonka, and warm amber adds depth and warmth, like sun-kissed skin (or more likely, lobster-red shoulders because someone thought they didn’t need sunscreen in Scotland).
This isn’t just a candle – it’s a whole mood. It’s the first BBQ of the year even though it’s only March, it’s sitting in the beer garden in your t-shirt acting like you’re not absolutely Baltic, it’s that collective Scottish delusion that this weather might actually last more than four hours. It’s pure optimism, questionable life choices, and the kind of joy that only comes when you’ve survived another brutal Scottish winter and lived to tell the tale.
