Black Cherry & Vanilla Votive Candle

Mix & Match Wee Coorie Moments: 3 for £30

New to the Coorie Moments collection, this black cherry and vanilla mini candle introduces you to the Midnight Cherry scent profile. Cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant open, bright and rushed, the way fruit smells when it's cut rather than cooked. Rose settles underneath, then vanilla and soft musk round the whole thing out. What you're left with is a scent that stays rich and fruity from the first light to the last, rather than fading into something thinner as the candle burns down.

Hand poured on the Isle of Harris from natural soy wax, as part of the Coorie Moments collection. At 20 hours, there’s enough in this mini candle to burn it properly across multiple evenings, and at £12, it’s a genuinely affordable way to discover whether Midnight Cherry is the scent you want living in your home before committing to the full-size candle.

If you know someone drawn to dark, fruity or sweeter fragrances, it also makes a small gift that doesn't feel small. Pair it with one of the other Wee Coorie candles for a fuller introduction to Essence of Harris.

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 2 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 mini candle smell like?

Dark and fruity, and opens with cherry, raspberry and blackberry before deepening into rose and blackcurrant with a base of warm vanilla and soft musk. Midnight Cherry has a richness that feels indulgent rather than simply fruity. If you're drawn to dark berry or sweeter fragrances, this is the one to try.

How long does the Midnight Cherry mini candle burn?

20 hours. Enough to burn across several evenings rather than all at once, which means you get the full Midnight Cherry experience—dark cherry, rose and vanilla—repeated rather than rushed. Handpoured on the Isle of Harris from natural soy wax with a clean cotton wick, which carries the fragrance evenly from the first light to the last.

Is this a good way to try Midnight Cherry before buying the full-size candle?

Yes, the mini candle gives you the complete Midnight Cherry fragrance. Enough to experience the full depth of the dark berry, rose and vanilla profile before investing in the full 40-hour version. If it's the one, the full-size Midnight Cherry candle is available in the Coorie Moments collection.

Is the Midnight Cherry mini candle a good gift?

A strong choice for anyone who gravitates towards fruity, berry or sweeter fragrances. Dark, rich and distinctive enough to feel genuinely considered as a gift rather than generic. Works well as a stocking filler, a small gift in its own right, or alongside the other Wee Coorie candles as part of the 3 for £30 offer—a lovely way to introduce someone to the full Coorie Moments range.

What is the difference between this and the full-size Midnight Cherry candle?

The Wee Coorie version is a smaller candle, with a 20-hour burn time. Compact and self-contained, ideal for an evening when you want a complete fragrance experience without a longer commitment, or for smaller spaces where a full-size candle might feel too much. The full-size Midnight Cherry candle burns for 40 hours and is made for repeated burning over time.
