Ancient Woodland - Masculine Woodsy Candle

The blend creates a calming, sophisticated scent that evokes the quiet strength of ancient forests. It’s a warm, masculine aftershave fragrance that fills your space with timeless earthy elegance.
Imagine walking through towering woodland, the air rich with the scent of weathered trees and soft amber light filtering through the canopy.

Tried a few of the candles from Wild Race, and eventhough I’ve loved them all, this is my favourite and I’ve returned to buy another. Love this company and if you’re thinking of trying them out Do It! you won’t be disappointed ❤️
Smells good, perfect for Autumn
This purchase was a restock! There is nothing I love more than curling up with a good book on those rainy days, and this candle is the perfect match :) It is wonderfully deep and comforting, with warm teakwood and amber, and a hint of spicey pepper.
Lovely candle. I’m not sure the scent is what I expected. I thought it would quite a masculine smell, but it’s quite floral to me. Might just be me though 🤷🏼♀️
This has to be my favourite so far, but I haven’t tried all the candles yet 😊 the smell is divine and burns do cleanly and evenly.
Beautiful candle, wrapped so nicely and came very quickly.
Smells delicious I wouldn’t hesitate to say buy one and one for a friend.
Wonderful scent, long lasting candle. The best!
I enjoy this scent a great deal - it is exactly as described. It has good throw and burns cleanly. I like the look of the container and label too.
Beautiful smells it’s scents the whole house
Fabulous sent and great burn.
So glad you love this woody scent - thank you for your review Ruth :)
Absolutely love this one, I’ve purchased this a number of times. Either on its own or within the Forest 3 set.
Gorgeous! Subtle and wood-smokey. Just the thing for a dark November’s evening.
