Great summer scents

At The Northern Wood Co, we love candles and wax melts in the summer. Not only do they add a vibrant, colourful touch to any room — but the smell is amazing.

The warmth can be a little overwhelming at times but there’s nothing better than a cool breeze by the beach, enjoying a sunset with loved ones or being transported at home, with a great smelling candle.
