New York 540 Saffron & Amber Luxury Soy Candle 220g | William Alexander
The Scent of a Luxury Hotel Lobby
New York 540 is warm, polished and quietly expensive — the kind of fragrance you notice walking into a beautiful hotel and remember long after you leave.
It opens with saffron, rich and golden. Through the heart, jasmine softens the spice and adds a gentle floral lift. At the base, amber, fir balsam and moss settle into a warm, resinous finish that lingers in the room.
Opulent without being heavy. Our most-asked-about fragrance, now as a candle.
What's Inside
- 220g hand-poured natural soy wax
- Up to 100-hour burn time
- Cotton wick for a clean, even burn
- Fragrance notes: saffron, jasmine, amber, fir balsam and moss
- Unisex fragrance — equally suited to men and women
- Presented in a William Alexander signature gift box
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 — amber and saffron fill a room beautifully in the evening
- Hallways — makes an immediate impression when guests arrive
- Dining rooms — warm and golden across a long dinner
- Bedrooms — soft jasmine and resins at the end of the day
The Perfect Gift
Saffron and amber read as expensive, which makes New York 540 an easy gift for someone with good taste. Presented in our signature gift box, it arrives ready to give — birthdays, housewarmings, anniversaries or Christmas.
Hand Poured in Britain
Every William Alexander candle is hand poured in our Leicestershire studio.

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.
