Lime, Basil & Mandarin A hand-poured rapeseed and coconut wax candle named after one of spring's most distinctive butterflies. The Orange Tip is bright and citrus-led - juicy Sicil ian lime and bergamot up front, a herbal basil heart, and a warm earthy base of patchouli and vetiver underneath. Fresh, zesty and full of energy.

The males are easy to spot - bright orange wingtips against white make them unmistakeable in hedgerows and gardens from April onwards. Females lack the orange tips but share the same delicate green marbled underwings. Did you know... Orange Tip caterpillars are remarkably ruthless - they eat their own eggshell when they emerge, then seek out and eat any other Orange Tip eggs nearby to eliminate competition. Show more
