Here at St. Eval, our passion for crafting high quality candles and unique fragrances stems from the exceptional flora and fauna found in North Cornwall. Dusting off the winter blues in the wake of the spring solstice, we're diving into wildlife as the world changes around us. This March, we've compiled a few of our essential scents to bask in the seasonal beauty and fragrance your home from spring and beyond.

Here at St. Eval, we are blessed to be located in Cornwall's beautiful natural landscape. The 5th of March holds special significance as St. Piran’s Day, where we celebrate the magical wonders that the great Saint created and rediscovered. Legend has it, upon arriving on the Cornish coast, St Piran stumbled upon the discovery of tin, a pivotal moment that propelled tin mining into becoming one of Cornwall’s leading industries for centuries. This discovery also led to the creation of the iconic black-white flag, now synonymous with Cornwall itself.

Mother's Day is a special occasion to honour and celebrate the mothers and mother figures who have shaped our lives with their love, care, and wisdom. Whether they are our biological mothers, adoptive mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, or friends, each deserves our gratitude and appreciation for all that they do and all that they are.

At St. Eval, there's little we love more than curling up amidst the brisk midwinter with a calming candle, soothing hot drink and page turning book. This week, we're spotlighting the incredible creative talent, novelist and writing coach Emylia Hall. Writing from a hut in the garden at her home in Bristol, Emylia often dreams of the sea and wild landscape of Cornwall, a prominent influence for her cosy crime mystery series The Shell House Detectives. 

From marvelling at twinkling fairy lights to indulging in delicious sweet treats, Christmas markets are a wonderful way for friends and family to enjoy the magic of the winter season while supporting local businesses and craftspeople.

Enchanted by the glisten of candlelight, we are delighted to seize the season and showcase our wonderous Winter's Eve collection. New for 2023, Winter's Eve charms with a subtle touch of magic and a simple elegance destined to dazzle all year round.
