A Journey Into Foxwood & Bramble’s Spring Collection 2025

There is a moment in early spring, so subtle you might miss it, when everything begins to shift. The light softens. The wind smells just a little sweeter. The trees, still bare, carry the hush of a world about to bloom. It’s not loud or sudden. It’s a quiet awakening, like the Earth stretching gently after a long winter. And with it comes scent—soft, golden, green, floral, fresh.

At Foxwood & Bramble, spring is more than a season. It is a feeling. A memory made of wind and warmth and tenderness. Every year, we return to a simple but ever-complicated question: What does spring smell like?

Our Spring Collection 2025 is our answer. It is a scented ode to the in-between. That fleeting moment between cold and bloom, rest and renewal, where life begins again with grace and colour. And in this year’s collection, we’ve captured that feeling across four distinct fragrances: Whispers of Peony, Bloom & Breeze, Golden Ember, and Wild Herb Garden.

Each candle is lovingly poured by hand using sustainable methods, crafted with 100 percent vegan soy wax and scented with phthalate-free essential oil blends. They’re made to be lit with intention and lived with slowly, turning everyday spaces into rituals of calm.

Let this be your guide into the scentscape of spring.

Whispers of Peony

A Romance in Bloom

Whispers of Peony is the gentlest of our spring compositions. It captures the delicate hush of early morning light and the first bloom of garden petals still heavy with dew. At the heart of this fragrance is the lush, powdery softness of pink peonies. Romantic, airy, and nostalgic.

Layered with heirloom roses, the scent deepens into something timeless. There is also a thread of wild honey that hums quietly in the background, adding a golden sweetness that lingers like a soft secret shared only with the breeze.

This is the candle for slow mornings and reflective afternoons. For handwritten letters left on windowsills. For the quiet kind of beauty that doesn’t ask for attention but draws you in anyway.

Light Whispers of Peony when you want stillness and softness in your space. Let it perfume bedrooms, reading corners, or writing desks. It’s not just floral. It’s poetic. The essence of old-world femininity translated into wax.

Once finished, the vessel it lives in can easily become a keepsake box, a holder for love notes, jewelry, or wildflowers you picked on a walk and couldn’t bear to throw away.

Wild Herb Garden

Earthy, Raw, Alive

For those who find their peace in untamed places, Wild Herb Garden is your candle. It’s the fragrance of nature left to its own rhythm. Of gardens that bloom without pruning. Of herbs growing wild alongside old stone and curling vines.

The scent opens with honeysuckle and the soft sweetness of apricot liqueur—lush and nectar-rich. But quickly, it shifts into something deeper. Davana brings a warm, herbaceous complexity. Spiced tea and dried flowers follow. You’ll also catch hints of soft hay and a balsamic green bitterness that gives the fragrance its grounding presence.

Wild Herb Garden feels like dusk in a forgotten greenhouse. Like the kind of place where the wild things grow, and you want to stay just a little longer.

It is best placed in earthy spaces: plant-filled rooms, rustic kitchens, art studios, or anywhere you want grounding energy to settle in.

When the candle has run its course, let the dough bowl hold your seed packets, garden tools, or tea strainers. It’s too beautiful to throw away, and too full of story to forget.

Bloom & Breeze

A Breath of Fresh Air

If spring were a gesture, Bloom & Breeze would be the windows flung open. It is a candle that smells like the season shaking off winter in one clean, green inhale.

The top notes are fresh and invigorating: green neroli and dewy grass. Think of the first day you step outside without a coat, when even the wind feels kind again. As the scent settles, it unfurls into creamy white florals—tuberose, ylang ylang, and orchid. They glow rather than bloom, soft but vibrant, like sunshine caught in a lace curtain.

Anchoring all that brightness is a warm base of cedarwood, musk, and a gentle touch of amber. These grounding notes offer balance, allowing the floral freshness to dance without ever floating away.

Bloom & Breeze is best enjoyed in kitchens, bathrooms, or creative corners that need clarity and lift. It’s perfect for morning rituals, resetting after a long day, or simply inviting in the feeling of freshness.

Once your candle has flickered its last, repurpose the bowl for your incense cones, crystals, brushes, or even a scattering of pressed herbs. Let it continue to bring calm, even after the flame.

Golden Ember

A Glow That Lingers

Golden Ember is spring’s golden hour in scent form. It begins with an energetic burst of citrus—bergamot, lemon, and crushed violet leaf—that brightens the senses and invites you in.

But what makes this fragrance truly special is its unfolding. As the citrus settles, the heart of the candle reveals a gentle warmth: a smooth blend of honey and a whisper of whiskey. This combination is quietly indulgent, like laughter around a garden table at dusk, or that exact moment when sunlight turns everything to gold.

The base is where Golden Ember finds its soul: white amber and soft woods add a subtle, almost glowing depth. This is the candle for long conversations, open doors, and the kind of spring evenings that turn into memories.

It’s a scent that holds both lightness and depth. It doesn’t rush. It lingers.

Perfect for living rooms, dining areas, or outdoor spaces where you gather and celebrate. And when the wax is done, the hand-poured dough bowl is yours to keep perhaps for dried florals, handwritten recipe cards, or those tiny trinkets that deserve a home of their own.

A Feeling, Not Just a Fragrance

At Foxwood & Bramble, we believe in scent as storytelling. Our candles are not made to mask or overpower. They are made to transform.

We approach candle-making as a kind of slow alchemy. A blend of ritual, emotion, and sustainability. We source our ingredients with care, ensuring everything is 100 percent vegan, cruelty-free, non-toxic, and phthalate-free. Our vessels are designed not just to be beautiful, but to live on in your space as functional keepsakes.

Every candle is hand-poured in small batches. Every fragrance is developed to evoke a feeling, not just a smell. Whether you’re lighting one to mark a quiet morning, an evening bath, or a dinner shared with someone you love, these candles are made to become part of your story.

So, What Does Spring Really Smell Like?

It’s not a simple answer. Because spring isn’t one thing. It’s a sequence of tiny shifts. A scent that evolves like a memory.

Spring smells like peonies blooming before you even notice. Like grass waking up under bare feet. Like citrus light slicing through clouds. Like wildflowers growing through the cracks in the path.

Our Spring Collection 2025 holds all of that. And maybe more.

It is a sensory invitation to pause, to return to the natural world, and to honour the soft, strong beauty of beginnings.

This season, let yourself feel the wind in your space. Let your home smell like a promise. Let spring in.
