Time for an afternoon ☕️ break! Our luxury long matches are the perfect accompaniment to your favourite candle, and are available in a range of designs on our website! 🕯

Here it is! 🙌 Catching The Breeze - the new addition to VOAK’s signature family of fragrances. With notes of lemon, jasmine and gardenia, it’ll transport you to wash day at the height of summer. Available on our website now! ☺️🍋💛

Happy Friday guys! After a glorious day in York, tonight will be spent having dinner (and a drink or two!) in the garden. I’ll be lighting some of our beautifully fragranced tealights to create a lovely, twinkly atmosphere ✨✨

Evening all ☺️ I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for an early night tonight! 🌝 I’ll be unwinding with our signature fragrance Heathland; its rich blend of lavender, clary sage and vanilla really helps me to drift off 😴 Oh, and a good book works too, of course - any recommendations welcome! 📖📚

We hope you’ve all had a restful Bank Holiday weekend ✨ our ceramic candle vessels make great plant pots once the candle has finished burning; I’ve loved potting up a few new house plants in them today! 🌱🌿 #reusereducerecycle #sustainableliving #voakyork
