Earl of East

The apothecary-style craft pick.

4.5· £18–£40

Our verdict

Earl of East started as a London market stall and still pours its soy-wax candles by hand in small batches. The amber-glass apothecary jars and unisex scents like Sunday Songs feel considered and grown-up, and the refill and workshop ethos keeps it genuinely sustainable.

Why we rate it

  • Hand-poured soy in small batches
  • Tasteful apothecary-style vessels
  • Refillable, sustainability-minded

Worth knowing

Smaller burn size than some rivals.
