Spilling Over the Gate: Summer Flowers at Pigs Wood
There’s a moment in June when every cottage garden in Ireland forgets its manners. Roses tumble over box hedges. Sweet peas scramble up willow sticks. Lavender and honeysuckle argue for the same patch of sun. That glorious, unruly abundance—that’s what this candle holds.
Summer Flowers is a soy wax candle from Abbeyleix, hand-poured in the dappled quiet of Pigs Wood. Its scent is a pure fragrance oil blended to mimic a fresh bouquet snipped at dawn from a garden that’s been loved for generations. Not one flower shouting—but many speaking at once: the creamy weight of peony, the honeyed breath of mock orange, the green snap of freshly cut stems, and just a whisper of clover from the meadow’s edge.
Unlike a single essential oil, this fragrance oil builds in layers. First, the bright top notes—sweet pea and a touch of lemon verbena. Then the heart: rose and stock, soft and powdery. Finally, the dry-down of clean green leaves and warm earth. It’s a bouquet that never wilts, filling your room with the kind of happiness you feel when you push open a creaky garden gate and find flowers spilling onto the path.
The wax is natural soy—clean-burning, long-lasting, and kind to the air you breathe. No paraffin. No black soot. Just a gentle flame and the scent of a midsummer afternoon, no matter the weather outside.
Each candle is made in small batches at Pigs Wood, where the only rush is the bees around the foxgloves. Light it. Let the cottage come to you.
Abbeyleix made. Garden gathered. Summer, whenever you need it.
