Petrichor Rain Soy Wax Candle – Viral Favourite
The viral rain scent that started it all,
⚡ Petrichor
💧 Fallen Rain
🌸 Petals
🍃 Damp Moss
This iconic petrichor scented candle blends the delicate freshness of petrichor with the earthy green of damp moss and a subtle, grounding base. Light and airy like rainfall itself, Forest Rainstorm captures that unmistakable scent of the earth just after rain - clean, soft, and slightly perfumed. It’s a refreshing, nature-inspired rain scented candle that has become a cult favourite among those who crave the outdoors, even from the comfort of home.
Imagine a still forest just after a summer downpour - raindrops clinging to leaves, mist rising from the mossy ground, and the air thick with that intoxicating post-rain aroma. Our Forest Petrichor Candle was the UK’s first rain-scented candle to go viral, a quiet revolution in fresh, atmospheric fragrance. It brings the beauty of a rain-soaked flora into your space, with all the calm, clarity, and wonder that follows a storm.

Really impressed with my Wildraceco candle. I chose the Forest Rainstorm candle and the scent is lovely. I find so many candles overpowering but this created a lovely subtle scent. Another massive plus is this candle melts right to the edges of the jars, which is a big bug bear of mine when the edges don’t burn down.
An amazing first candle and can't wait to make my next purchase.
Thank you
Fantastic smelling candles. We love them. They burn so evenly too. Will be regular purchase for our home.
Smells so fresh and natural. Absolutely love it. Will be ordering more and bigger ones. 💯 smells like walking in a wet English woodland.
Prompt delivery and nice strong aroma. Gorgeous candle
Very nice smelling candle, fills the room and smells just like I wanted it to.
Bought as a gift, so will add comments on quality once gifted and lit, but very happy with the swift delivery and careful packaging as well as beautiful design.
I’ve never bought a candle only by trusting the description of the smell, but this one definitely is named well - literally smells like the forest. Absolutely love it, and I wish I got the bigger one 🖤
Wow! What a candle! I didn’t know what to expect cause it’s really difficult to find a good candle that actually gives a decent fragrance, but this is wonderful. The smell, the longevity - cannot fault it and will be purchasing more for sure.
Smells amazing
Lovely candle that arrived swiftly very well packaged. Scent is very light and more herbal than woody so perfect for Spring.
Came quickly, love it
Lovely candle, not too overpowering. Will definitely be purchasing another one !
Lovely packaging and amazing scent!
Lovely smell - burns well and looks great.
Haven’t burnt this candle yet but smells divine in jar. If it’s like all the other wild race candles I’ve bought it’ll be perfect.
This is my second purchase of this scent. It’s lovely, but wouldn’t say it smells of rain, but I guess that’s just me ☺️
A beautiful natural smell that reminds me of morning walks
Beautiful long lasting fragrance, such a gorgeous candle
This purchase was a restock! I used to live/work in the Austrian Alps, and as much as I loved the sun, there was something so magical about being huddled under a tree watching a storm move over. This candle makes me nostalgic for the smell of the rain - the damp moss, earthy undertones, water dripping off of wildflowers. Absolute perfection!!
This is my second purchase of this particular candle. It’s so unique and grounding. It actually gave my son goosebumps when he smelt it! 🌧️🌳❤️
I’m quite sensitive to smell so for me this is a little strong smelling, but I think I’m outside the norm. I don’t think it smells like thunderstorms, but it has a lovely floral scent. Great company though and great lasting, clean, no waste candles.
Divine scent. Calming and fresh. They are strong enough to fill a room. Ethical and sustainable candles which is really important to me.
Addictive scent. Knew I should have sprang for the 60 hour one but now have an excuse to buy another!
My fave new candle
Absolutely beautiful smell im obsessed, as someone who suffers with auto immune disease i find candles can trigger me this has not!!! So happy to be able to have found a scented candle i can use but looks and smells beautiful.
This is without doubt, the nicest smelling candle I've ever bought. I also love the ethos behind Wildrace and am happy to continue supporting them. I won't be buying another brand.
The scent is amazing and not over powering. The delivery was speedy and very well packaged.
