Getting all spicey aint we doing a collab with a big fancy brand.

Well what can I say, when Lazy Oaf (a brand I have been buying for years) knocked at the door of Good Candles Towers and asked if we could do a candle with them I jumped at the chance and here we are.

Part of their Lazy Hotel Drop this August, the candle brings back the memories of seedy hotels, weird carpetted hallways and a slight whiff of booze in the air.

Let's 'av it.

Why The Outside Project

Imagine not having a roof over your head and feeling you are on the outside of services due to historical and present prejudice in society or your previous home environment?

Scent Notes

A rich and intoxicating candle created to conjure nostalgic feelings of long road-trips and stays and hotels past... and a hint of parma violets.

Violet leaf, cashmere, oud and patchouli are mixed with pine, dry wood, tobacco and musk to evoke the bourbon of mini-bar miniatures, old furniture, carpeted hallways and the faint smell of the road outside your motel window.

The Scent Brief

Candle Care

Candle care and safety is the serious thing on this website. If you take care of your candle it will smell better, it will also last longer and will fill your house with good vibes.

If you take good care of it everything will be better and it will also be safe to burn. We’re all grown ups but let’s be clear, you are setting fire to something in your home and that requires a bit of common sense.

Make Candles Great Again

• Trim the wick - if you don’t the flame will be massive, the candle will burn badly and will be unsafe. Why would you not do this? Go find those scissors. You wanna go to 5mm if you can (that’s quite small)
• Trimmed the wick? Bravo. This should prevent smoke and residue.
• Is your wick in the middle? Yeah weird huh, sometimes when you burn a candle the wick can shift over a bit. Keep an eye on this one.
• Burn Time - first time? You want to make sure you have 2 hours to let the melt pool reach all the way round the candle. Super important on the first burn to prevent those holes you see in candles (we call this tunnelling).
• There are full safety instructions on the box and candle but some really obvious ones we want to call out.
  • Never leave candles unattended
  • Don’t leave them by an open window or a draft
  • Don’t burn a candle right next to another candle. The glass can get incredibly hot if you do this and this is when cracks happen.
  • Don’t burn candles right down to the bottom of the vessel. Our candles will last 40-50 hours so don’t panic. That last bit left in the glass is ok to leave.
