I'd rather be a mermaid - The Essence of the Ocean
🌊 Oceanic Drift
🌸 Floral Breeze
🪸 Deep Musk
Inspired by tides that shimmer like jewels and mornings kissed by sea foam, I’d Rather Be a Mermaid captures the essence of salt, sun, and freedom beneath the waves. It opens with bright oceanic notes that awaken the senses, softens into a delicate floral breeze, and settles into a deep, alluring musk, as mysterious as the sea itself.
Hand-poured using 100% natural soy wax, this scent feels like diving through sunlight, fins trailing through coral gardens and hidden coves. The air is clean, fresh, and alive, a song of tides and treasures.
This isn’t your typical “beach candle.” It’s luminous, tropical and breezy - full of soul. Think pearlescent shells, waves lapping at shorelines, and sea-glass dreams. A scent for when you’d rather be a mermaid.

Thank you! Love this idea for a non polluting candle. I’d rather be reading fantasy smells just like the pages of a book. I love it. And I’d rather be a mermaid is just gorgeous. Over the moon!
I wasn't originally planning to buy this! In a different order, I purchased 'I'd rather be at the farm', '...in my garden' and '... reading fantasy', completely ignoring 'I'd rather be a mermaid'. Why? Because I'm not usually a lover of these kind of scents. How wrong I was!! The scent, just wonderful - the base is absolutely captivating, the deep musk transporting my mind to tales of sirens and kelpies. On top of that, the smell of florals in an ocean wind that whips around in the promise of adventure. Trust me, you need this candle!
This candle is simply exquisite; it’s like it was made especially for me. The box it came in was super cute too. I would highly recommend 🧜♀️❤️
Love this, it's great in the bathroom But I also love it in my office When I'm working.
Beautiful packaging & it smells amazing! Can't wait to burn it!
