Ah, Autumn in Scotland. The leaves are showing off like they’ve been taking selfies for Instagram, the mornings are brisk, and let’s be honest - we’re all secretly just looking for excuses to stay inside with something warm and comforting.  

 

Cue the Winter Grace candle - our seasonal scented hero, ready to wrap your home in luxury home fragrance that smells like cosy evenings, woody and spicy, with a little bit of magic. 

 

The science of cosy (or so we’ve decided)  

 

Did you know Scotland has one of the longest periods of winter darkness in Europe? True fact: in some parts, the sun barely peeks over the horizon for weeks.  

So, if you’ve ever wondered why Scots are obsessed with candles, hot drinks, cosy blankets and big jumpers - now you know.  

 

 

Why Winter Grace is basically your seasonal BFF 

 

Our hand-poured soy candles are made to withstand even the chilliest of Scottish nights. Winter Grace is rich, inviting, and perfect for: 

  • Curling up with a good book 

  • Turning dinner at home into a Michelin moment (even if it’s just spaghetti) 

  • Impressing guests with a scent that screams “I’m classy and my house is the same 

 

The big candle game changer 

 

Have you ever tried our 100-hour candle? They are an absolute game changer at this time of year.  

 

Once you’ve had one of the big ones, there really is no going back! 


The sheer joy of lighting it and knowing it will fill your home for days is unbeatable.
 

 

Tealight season is officially here 

 

And of course, it’s tealight season, and our tealights are flying off the shelves. I absolutely love filling all my little tealight holders and creating that ultra-ambient light that transforms the house into a twinkly masterpiece.  

How people live without candles, I’ll never know 


Our tealights are amazing
- they burn for around 8 hours, and that’s because of the magic of soy wax, which naturally burns longer. Fact.


Even better, our gorgeous tealight holders are made locally from Scottish oak by a very clever crafter called Woodn, making them the perfect match for our cosy, seasonal vibes.

We love working with other small businesses to bring amazing products to our range. 

 

Gift yourself (and others) a little luxury 


Whether 
it’s your first
luxury home fragrance purchase or your tenth, Winter Grace and our other seasonal favourites make the perfect treat - or an easy gift for friends who desperately need a candle but will never admit it. Think birthdays, dinner parties, or just because they’ve survived the first leaf drop without tripping over it. 

 

Why buying local matters 

 

When you pick a Burntisland small business like JoJo Co., you’re supporting: 

  • Artisanal craftsmanship in Scotland 

  • Hand-poured soy candles with phthalate-free fragrance 

  • Thoughtful products that double as gifts 

  • A wee business that genuinely loves what we do 

Ease into Autumn  


So, embrace the
autumnal vibes, sip something warm, and light your Winter Grace candle - or one of our 100-hour beauties, or a batch of tea lights in your gorgeous Oak holders. Your home (and your nose) will thank you, and the twinkly ambience will make this Scottish Autumn feel just that little bit more magical.
