RePete Candle & Coffee Bar

What RePete make

RePete Candle & Coffee Bar hand-pour soy wax candles with cotton wicks, and run the same scents through wax melts, reed diffusers and car diffusers. The range leans warm and edible — coffee, bakery and autumn notes make up much of it, which is the thread that connects the candle side to the coffee bar in the name.

Four ways to run one scent

• Candles — for a room you are sitting in.
• Wax melts — the flame-free version; one cube in a warmer, not two.
• Reed diffusers — continuous, for a hallway or a bathroom.
• Car diffusers — clipped to a vent, and worth taking indoors in summer heat, because a closed car cooks the oil.

Getting the burn right

RePete ask for the cotton wick to be trimmed to about 5 mm before each burn, which is the single habit that most affects how a soy candle behaves: an untrimmed wick is what puts soot on the glass and shortens the total burn time.

A note on the specification

Where the maker states a size, wax or burn time for a particular product we list it in the specification. Where they do not, we leave it blank rather than estimate.
