OUR STOCKISTS

AUCKLAND MUSEUM. WORLD.

Welcome to Scented Fable

We exist for beautiful objects and the moments they create. For connection, for nature, for joy. Ours is the art of ritual. A quiet devotion.

We flirt with the natural world, borrow from myth, and revel in the beautifully unconventional.

Multiple cherry candles some red and some darker, with green stems, scattered on white surface against a white background.

THE CORNER STORE COLLECTION

Fruit and veg, recast as objets d’art.

Sun-drenched orchards, baskets of ripe citrus, vegetables lifted fresh from the soil. Familiar shapes, recast as sculpture, each candle molded from the real thing — skin, stem, seed and all. These are pieces to surprise and to delight: the everyday made extraordinary. For those who crave more, our oversized works bring drama to the table and theatre to the room.
