Madagascar Vanilla & Amber Luxury Soy Candle 220g | William Alexander

A Rich, Decadent Vanilla Candle

Madagascar is an oriental gourmand that envelops the senses in warmth and sweetness — luxurious, addictive and effortlessly elegant. If you have been looking for a vanilla candle that smells expensive rather than sugary, this is it.

It opens with the delicate allure of vanilla orchid and soft jasmine, setting the stage for what follows.

The heart is luscious: creamy vanilla bean, caramelised brown sugar and smooth tonka — sweet, but rounded rather than cloying.

As the candle burns, a sensual base of golden amber, warm woods, musk and earthy patchouli adds depth and sophistication.

What Makes a Good Vanilla Candle

Most vanilla candles smell like baking. The difference here is the base: amber, patchouli and warm woods sit underneath the vanilla and stop it turning into a cupcake. The result is a vanilla scented candle that works in a living room in the evening, not just a kitchen.

• Up to 100-hour burn time

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.

Every candle is hand poured in small batches to help maintain consistent quality from the first burn to the last.

Where It Works Best

• Living rooms — warm and enveloping on a dark evening
• Bedrooms — vanilla and musk are softly comforting
• Hallways — sweet and welcoming the moment guests arrive
• Dining rooms — brown sugar and tonka suit the end of a long dinner

The Perfect Gift

Vanilla is the most widely loved fragrance note there is, which makes Madagascar one of the safest gifts we sell. Presented in our signature gift box, it arrives ready to give — birthdays, housewarmings, Christmas or a thank you.

Hand Poured in Britain

Every William Alexander candle is hand poured in our Leicestershire studio.

How to Get the Best from Your Candle

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