Welcome to Scented Fable

I have a love of creating hyper-real sculptural wax objects that blur the line between art and illusion. Exquisitely crafted (and I hope, irresistibly clever!) each piece is luxuriously made and deliciously deceptive.

I’ve been creating since 2020 candles that exist to deceive the eyes! We love to ask, can it candle? Most importantly though, each and everyone is made by hand using the finest, natural and safe ingredients. From our custom made molds (that we make or design) to the blend of wax and colours. Every single candle is beautifully unique.

FOR THE LOVE OF FOOD!

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.

Julia W. Auckland
“Um, can I just say that I LOVE LOVE LOOOOOVED the Tarot workshop. It was awesome and I will 100% be at the nexr one”

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”

Charlie .Auckland
“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.”
