Black Cherry & Vanilla Candle

Mix & Match Coorie Moments: 2 for £40

Cherry, raspberry and blackberry open in a rush before the scent deepens. Rose and blackcurrant at the heart, a warm base of vanilla and soft musk. Dark, fruity and quietly complex, with a richness that lingers long after the flame is out.

This black cherry and vanilla candle is handpoured on the Isle of Harris from natural soy wax. Deep enough to feel indulgent, balanced enough to burn all evening, and one of the most striking in the Coorie Moments collection.

Midnight Cherry makes a striking gift for anyone drawn to dark, fruity fragrance. Rich, complex and distinctive enough to feel genuinely chosen rather than generic.

How to Use

On the first burn, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the container to prevent tunnelling in future burns. We recommend trimming the wick to around 5mm before each burn, this ensures a clean and even burn.

As much as we know you’ll love the scent, don’t let it burn for more than 4 hours at once as this can cause smoking and shorten the overall burn time of your candle. Never leave it unattended, and keep it away from drafts, children, and pets.

What does the Midnight Cherry candle smell like?

Dark and fruity from the first light with cherry, raspberry and blackberry on top, deepening into rose and blackcurrant at the heart. The base is warm vanilla and soft musk. Richer and more layered than a single-note cherry candle, with enough complexity to feel genuinely indulgent rather than straightforwardly sweet.

Is Midnight Cherry a sweet candle?

Yes, with a rich, deep sweetness rather than something light or sugary. The blackcurrant and rose heart adds depth that balances the fruit opening, and the vanilla base adds warmth without tipping into confectionery. It's closer to a dark berry fragrance than anything sugary. The kind of scent that surprises people who expect cherry to read light.

What makes Midnight Cherry different from other cherry candles?

Most cherry candles are single-note and lean sweet. Midnight Cherry layers raspberry, blackberry, rose and blackcurrant over the cherry opening, with a vanilla and musk base holding it together. The result is a dark, complex fragrance profile that builds as it burns, not just a fruit scent.

Is Midnight Cherry a good candle gift?

A strong choice for anyone who gravitates towards fruity, berry or sweeter fragrances. The depth of the scent profile makes it feel considered as a gift rather than generic, and the dark glass or packaging carries well. Works beautifully as a standalone gift or as part of a candle gift set alongside another Coorie Moments candle.

What is the burn time and how is Midnight Cherry made?

Midnight Cherry burns for 40 hours. Handpoured on the Isle of Harris from natural soy wax with a clean cotton wick. Soy wax burns cleaner and longer than paraffin and carries fragrance more evenly, so the dark berry and rose notes come through consistently from the first burn to the last.
