We cast them in wax. Citrus, sculpted for collectors

WHEN LIFE GIVES

YOU LEMONS.

Most Loved Candles.

Sculptural objets d’art. Obsession guaranteed.

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.

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.

The Palmistry Candle

Look Who’s Back! Only 30 made.

Your fate, cast in wax.

Our Palmistry candle is a playful nod to mysticism, crystal balls, tarot cards, and the age-old art of reading palms. Bold, sculptural, and unapologetically unconventional — a collector’s piece for those who like their rituals with a twist.

    Tracy. M. Auckland

  • I will be honest, I was sure about the tarot workshop, I was a +1 invite. But I am now converted. It was so much fun and I was surprised that it was based on science and not spooky! I would recommend to anyone”

  • “Lighting this candle became the start of my evening ritual. It’s not just scent—it’s sanctuary.”

    Emma R. Wellington

  • “I never thought a candle could help me slow down. But every time I light it, I breathe deeper. It’s become my little anchor in the chaos.”
