Bring the Magic of the Emerald Isle Home: The Ultimate Irish Turf Fire Candle GuidE
The Nostalgic Scent of Ireland in a Jar
There is a specific kind of magic found in the Irish countryside. It’s the smell of the morning mist over the bog, the sound of a crackling hearth, and most importantly, the unmistakable, earthy aroma of a traditional peat fire.
At Salt and Blossom, we wanted to bottle that feeling. Our Irish Turf Fire Scented Candle is more than just a home fragrance; it’s a sensory journey to a cozy cottage in the West of Ireland. Whether you’re an expat missing home or simply a lover of smoky, grounding scents, this candle is designed to transport you.
What Does an Irish Turf Fire Smell Like?
If you’ve never had the pleasure of sitting by a real Irish hearth, you might wonder: what is the scent of turf? Unlike a standard woodfire, Irish peat (turf) has a rich, deep, and slightly sweet smokiness. To capture this complex profile, we’ve handcrafted a blend of:
Smoky Peat Accord: The star of the show, providing that authentic bog-fire aroma.
Cedarwood: For a sturdy, woody base that adds warmth to any room.
Patchouli: To enhance the earthy, grounding notes that make this scent so relaxing.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Candle
To ensure your soy wax candle burns beautifully every time:
Trim the Wick: Keep your wick at 5mm to prevent soot and ensure a steady flame.
The First Burn: Allow the wax to melt across the entire surface to prevent "tunneling."
Safety First: Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep it on a heat-resistant surface.
