Get the perfect burn, every time.
the pour
the wick
the light
the refresh
The wick rule: each wick covers a 5 cm radius. Place your wicks so every pearl sits within 5 cm of one, and the burn is 100% optimised.
Already scented: real essential oils are infused in every pearl. Nothing to add.
Mosquito-free evenings
Take back your evenings.
Mosquitoes turn up exactly when the evening gets good: the moment you sit down outside and the light goes. Citronella lifts off the pearls as they warm, and the air around the table stops being theirs. Nothing sprayed on your skin, no coil smoking in the corner.
“With the three candles going we have been finally able to enjoy our little haven during the summer!”
The story behind the scent
Mosquitoes hunt you. Citronella hides you.
Mosquitoes don't find you by luck. Once you know the two things they follow, it becomes obvious why citronella works.
1
How they find you
Mosquitoes pick up the carbon dioxide you breathe out from metres away, then follow the heat coming off your skin for the last stretch. That is the whole hunt: two signals you cannot switch off.
2
Why it works
Citronella fills the air around you with a scent strong enough to cover those signals. The space around your table stops reading as somewhere to land, so they drift off and look elsewhere.
3
In every pearl
We bottled the trick: real citronella essential oil infused in plant-based wax, so you pour it into whatever bowl you already own and light it right where you are sitting.
Smells like summer
A repellent that smells this good shouldn't be legal.
Forget the chemical hiss of sprays and the smoke of coils. These pearls are infused with real citronella essential oil in plant-based wax: bright, green and clean. A garden in July, not a hardware shop.
“It's gentle, smells gorgeous and there is no harmful smoke.”

Warmnest notebook
Citronella oil
· the bright, green top note mosquitoes steer clear of, and the one everyone recognises as summer.
Shea butter
· turned into the soft, plant-based wax that holds its shape as a pearl and melts only where the flame touches it.
Coconut oil
· gives the wax a clean, slow, soot-free burn, and carries the scent gently instead of overpowering it.
Palm oil, sustainably sourced
· keeps every pearl solid at room temperature, so they pour like beads and never clump in the box.

FAQ
Everything about your repellent candle
Does it really keep mosquitoes away? +
It is made with real citronella essential oil, the scent traditionally burned outdoors at dusk to keep mosquitoes at a distance. Light it half an hour before you eat and keep it on the table rather than in a corner.
What about flies and wasps? +
Each scent targets its intruder: Citronella for mosquitoes, Lavender for flies, Lemon & Clove for wasps. Burning two side by side covers both.
How strong is the scent? +
Noticeable but never heavy: real essential oils diffused by the flame, not sprayed. It reads as a garden candle, not an insecticide.
Can I use it indoors? +
Yes: it's the same clean-burning plant-based wax as our classic pearls, and lemon & clove indoors smells like baking season. For an unscented glow, our classic Pearled Candle is the one.
How long does one box last? +
Up to 120 hours of burn time, the equivalent of 6 classic candles. Each box includes 30 cotton wicks (each burns ~12 hours).
Is it safe around children and pets? +
Yes: the flame self-extinguishes if the candle is knocked over, and the burn is clean with no black smoke. As with any candle, never leave a flame unattended.
What containers can I use outdoors? +
Any fireproof container at least 10 cm wide: ceramic, glass, metal, a bucket for the big table. Sheltered from strong wind, or inside a hurricane glass.
Can I reuse the pearls? +
Yes. Once a burn is done, lift out the used wicks, break up the cooled wax (a bag and a rolling pin will do) and pour it again. The scent softens slightly with each burn.
What if I don't love it? +
Then it's on us: 30-day money-back guarantee, no drama.
