Home of Purbeck Candles, award-winning candle company, hand-poured by Phaedra in Dorset. Home fragrance made with 100% essential oils. Nothing more nothing less.⁠ You won't find any synthetic scents here - nope, zero nasties allowed. ⁠ ⁠

Phaedra has always had a love for beautiful fragrance so when she couldn't find exactly the natural, eco-friendly scents she needed for her home, she set out to create it herself. Now, with Purbeck Candles, Phaedra can combine her passion for fragrance with her love of the incredible world around us. That's why:⁠
⁠
🌍 We only ever use sustainably sourced soy wax⁠ for our candles and melts.⁠
🌍 All our fragrances are created using 100% pure essential oils⁠⁠.⁠
🌍 Our packaging is minimal with little to no waste.⁠
🌍 We focus on all-natural ingredients with absolutely no nasties,⁠
🌍 and we're vegan-friendly too!⁠
⁠
Our beautiful natural home fragrance and lifestyle shop 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘦𝘥𝘳𝘢 is nestled in the cobbled street of Antelope Walk in Dorchester, Dorset.
⁠
Phaedra will be here to welcome you:⁠⁠
Monday to Friday: 10am-4pm⁠
Saturday 10am-5pm⁠
⁠
Browse our beautiful homewares and smell our all-natural home fragrances at Unit 7 Antelope Walk, Dorchester DT1 1BE. We can't wait to welcome you.

Only a tiny little nod to Christmas 😬⁠
⁠
Don't worry, I'm not getting the tree out just yet! But I couldn't resist getting in these new gingham stockings and striped bows that have taken pride of place on our centre table. Conveniently next to our sweet light-up reindeer, if you are starting to get into the festive mood 😆

I love seeing things from the shop in your homes, and one of our lovely customers recently shared this beautiful autumn display with me. Swipe to see the pieces she used to create it for yourself.⁠
⁠
I really do love seeing all the beautiful things you buy for your homes, so please tag me in your pictures if you post them, and never be afraid to message me with a photo. I'd love to see them! 🤍

The colours might change with the seasons, but our beautiful bunches are a constant here at House of Phaedra. Loving these wonderful autumnal colours. ⁠🤎⁠
⁠
Our dried hydrangeas are now available in beautiful brown, yellowy gold, and that deep ruby red. Simply gorgeous.⁠

When I opened House of Phaedra in 2024, I wanted to create somewhere that brought together my love of beautiful scent, homewares and independent shopping.⁠ ⁠
⁠
So I'm delighted to be the first shop featured in 91editions PLACES to Shop blog.⁠
⁠
I'll put the link here so that you can give it a read. Thank you so much, Caroline, for the lovely feature. 😁

I can confirm it’s true. First coffee of the morning in my new favourite mug. 😊⁠
⁠
(It’s the Ridged Painted Mug, which we’ve been constantly restocking, if you wanted to get your own)

People often ask me why I only use pure essential oils in my candles, and the answer is very simple - because it's the kind of fragrance I wanted to use in my own home.⁠
⁠
I’ve always loved beautiful scents, but I wanted something completely natural, with fragrances that felt balanced, rounded and, well, just lovely. When I couldn’t find what I was looking for, I decided to make it myself. ⁠
⁠
And that’s how Purbeck Candles began. 😁⁠
⁠
Creating beautiful natural essential oil blends has always lifted my spirits, and now I hope they lift yours, too. ⁠

I love how the shop really changes with the seasons, and already it’s feeling very autumnal in here. ⁠
⁠
Rejigged the front table to include one of our gorgeous Tall Shale Glass Vases and the wonderful Volume 19 of 91 Magazine.⁠
⁠
And then obviously, there's our corner of wickery goodness. I'm loving all those beautiful baskets, and I’ve got a feeling we’re going to be needing a few more of those stunning pagoda-style umbrellas by Soake in the next few weeks 😆⁠
⁠
Shop’s open from 10:00am - 4:30pm today; hope to see you then. 🤍

Feeling the autumnal vibes with all these lovely wickery bits and pieces. Love these new lidded baskets with the sweet scalloped edge. Perfect for scooping up stuff and hiding all the mess out of sight. 😆 ⁠
⁠
These stackable and hanging ones have just come in, but if you’d like a browse of all our wickery goodness, you’ll find lots of lovely bits here and in our online shop .⁠
⁠
I’ve linked directly to the Bangali Scallop Lidded Storage Baskets on the grid you’ll see there, too.

It happens to the best of us. 😂⁠
⁠
If you fancy picking up a candle (or three), you’ll find our full Purbeck Candles home fragrance range both online and in-store, alongside all our beautiful homewares, of course. 😁⁠
