Grapefruit & Brazilian Orange Luxury Soy Candle 220g | William Alexander
Bright Citrus. Effortlessly Fresh.
Grapefruit is a vibrant, uplifting home fragrance designed to bring the freshness of sun-ripened citrus into your home. Bright and energising at first, yet softened with delicate florals, musk and earthy patchouli for a sophisticated finish.
The fragrance opens with the unmistakable zest of freshly sliced grapefruit, delivering an immediate burst of crisp, tangy citrus. Brazilian orange adds a sweeter, juicier warmth, balancing the sharp grapefruit beautifully.
As the candle burns, subtle green floral and citrus notes emerge through the heart, adding a clean, natural freshness without taking away from the vibrant citrus character.
At the base, soft musk and patchouli give the fragrance unexpected depth. Musk creates a smooth, creamy warmth while patchouli adds a subtle earthiness, allowing the brighter notes to settle into a beautifully rounded finish.
The result is much more than a simple citrus candle — fresh, uplifting and wonderfully clean, with enough depth to make it feel distinctly luxurious.

Why Soy Wax?
We use 100% natural soy wax for every William Alexander candle. Soy wax burns slowly and cleanly, helping to provide a consistent fragrance throw while reducing the soot associated with traditional paraffin wax.
Combined with the correct wick and fragrance ratio, it allows Grapefruit's different layers to develop gradually — from the initial burst of citrus through to the softer musk and patchouli base.
Every candle is hand poured in small batches to help maintain consistent quality from the first burn to the last.
A Fragrance Made for Brighter Spaces
There's something instantly uplifting about citrus.
Grapefruit is particularly beautiful in kitchens, living spaces, bathrooms and entrance halls, where its clean, sparkling character can make the entire room feel fresher.
It's an ideal fragrance for spring and summer, but equally suited to those moments throughout the year when you want your home to feel bright, clean and revitalised.
The Perfect Gift
Presented in our minimalist William Alexander gift box, Grapefruit makes a fresh and contemporary alternative to heavier traditional home fragrances.
Its combination of citrus, subtle florals and soft woods makes it wonderfully versatile and easy to gift.
Ideal for birthdays, housewarmings, weddings, Mother's Day, Father's Day and Christmas — or simply as a little luxury for your own home.

How to Get the Best from Your Candle
- Trim the wick to approximately 5mm before every burn.
- On the first burn, allow the melted wax to reach the edge of the glass to help prevent tunnelling.
- Burn for no more than 3–4 hours at a time.
- Keep away from drafts and place on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
- Discontinue use when approximately 1cm of wax remains in the base.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep away from children and pets.
