They're the stunning scented products handmade in Hampshire helping a counsellor calm her clients.
Curdridge Candles is the brainchild of Sharon Andrews, who runs a thriving counselling business, but decided to branch out into candle making last year.
The fledgling business is already going from strength to strength, with a range of fragranced products, including handmade soy scented candles, wax melts, room sprays, perfumes, colognes and gift sets.

Sharon told the Daily Echo: "I've worked as a psychotherapeutic counsellor for around 25 years and have always been interested in scent psychology and the way certain fragrances can transport our mood and soothe our senses.
"After becoming frustrated with the low quality of some of the candles I had been purchasing for personal use, I decided to make my own. This was far more challenging than I had imagined but I persevered and began to make a few candles for myself.
"A few friends who had been impressed with the quality and fragrance of my candles asked if I could make them some candles too. As demand grew, so did my new candle business and soon Curdridge Candles ventured into local craft fairs and markets."
Sharon is now a regular at events like the popular monthly Carlton Place Market with her range of products, handmade at home in small batches and using vegan friendly and cruelty free products.
She added: "Customers can treat themselves to a range of affordable luxurious home fragrance products knowing that every purchase supports a sustainable choice. Affordability is also very important to me and I enjoy creating bespoke orders and gift hampers for special occasions, and corporate gifts.
"This business has grown very quickly, the learning curve has been steep but so exciting and I am genuinely moved by how much positive feedback and support I receive. Nearly all the products created have been inspired by customer requests, and currently there are over 200 fragrances to choose from!"
A small range of candles are now at local stockists and Sharon is in the process of developing candle making courses.
