About this product.
Enjoy balmy evenings without the unwanted visitors with Pennyroyal Dreams, our botanical insect repellent candle. Handcrafted using natural soy wax and a carefully selected blend of aromatic essential oils, this candle brings together citronella, lavender, clove and peppermint to create a fresh, uplifting fragrance with a little extra punch.
Perfect for both indoor and outdoor use, Pennyroyal Dreams brings botanical fragrance and atmosphere wherever you need it. Light it in the living room, conservatory or bedroom, or take it outside to the deck, patio or bach for relaxed summer evenings and outdoor entertaining.
Citronella is well known for its insect-repellent properties, while lavender adds a soft floral note, clove brings warmth and spice, and peppermint delivers a crisp, invigorating finish. Together, these botanical aromas create a wonderfully balanced fragrance designed to help discourage unwelcome flying insects.
Perfect for lighting on the deck, patio or beside the bach, Pennyroyal Dreams adds atmosphere to outdoor entertaining and relaxed summer evenings.
A little botanical magic, a little extra pizzazz and a lot more enjoyment of the outdoors.
