Discover the Lake District Through Scent: The Agnes + Cat Botanical Candle Collection
Agnes + Cat Botanical Soy Candles (350g)
There’s something deeply comforting about a candle that tells a story. With the new Agnes + Cat Botanical Soy Wax Candle Collection, scent becomes a way to slow down, reconnect with nature, and bring a sense of place into your home. Now available at Your Urban Nest, this thoughtfully curated range is inspired by the landscapes, moods, and quiet beauty of England’s Lake District.
Each of the seven candles in the collection reflects a specific location, capturing the feeling of early mornings, open hills, woodland paths, and calm waters. Presented in gift-ready boxes featuring hand-drawn local scenes and a short literary poem, these candles feel as meaningful as they are beautiful.
Inspired by the landscapes and atmosphere of the Lake District.
At the heart of the collection is Fellberry, a bright and uplifting fragrance inspired by wild berries growing across the fells. Juicy notes of strawberry, raspberry, and orange bring a playful sweetness, while creamy peach, blackcurrant, and a warm base of vanilla, caramel, and musk keep the scent soft and balanced. It’s cheerful without being overpowering – perfect for everyday living spaces.
For slower starts and cosy moments, Lakeland Mocha offers a warm, grounding alternative. Inspired by quiet Lakeland mornings, this scent blends walnut, cocoa, and roasted coffee bean to create a comforting, unsweetened richness. Finished with a wooden wick for a gentle glow, it’s ideal for calm mornings, reading corners, or relaxed evenings at home.
Moorland captures the feeling of standing beneath wide skies on open hills. Fresh bergamot and lemon give way to rosemary, rose, and apple blossom, resting on a gentle base of musk, cedar, and sandalwood. Clean, airy, and easy to live with, it’s a scent that brings a sense of space and light into any room.
Floral lovers will be drawn to the candle inspired by Sawrey, home to Beatrix Potter. Soft rose notes mingle with fresh greenery to create a gentle, nostalgic fragrance reminiscent of an English country garden. It’s calm, familiar, and quietly romantic — a beautiful choice for bedrooms or peaceful living areas.
Deeper and more reflective, Rydal Oudh is inspired by the woodland surroundings of Rydal, once home to William Wordsworth. Notes of bergamot and orange lift the opening, while violet and rose add softness before settling into a rich base of patchouli and sandalwood. This is a candle made for slow evenings, thoughtful moments, and warm, intimate spaces.
For those drawn to wilder edges, Sea Salt & Moss offers a fresh yet grounding blend. Marine and sea salt notes drift through soft florals and mossy woods, evoking quiet coastal air and Cumbrian paths. Light, earthy, and calming, it’s a scent that suits open-plan spaces and gentle routines.
Finally, Windermere reflects the misty stillness of early mornings by England’s largest lake. Fresh citrus and soft florals such as lavender, rose, and lily of the valley rest on a warm base of musk, amber, tonka, and woods. Clean and soothing, it brings a sense of calm and openness into the home.
All seven candles are hand-poured using natural soy wax, finished with real dried botanicals embedded directly into the wax, and housed in clear glass vessels. With a generous 350g wax weight and an approximate 70-hour burn time, they’re designed to be enjoyed slowly.
Available now at Your Urban Nest, the Agnes + Cat Botanical Candle Collection is a beautiful way to experience the Lake District – one scent, one story, and one quiet moment at a time.
