Everybody knows who noticed the thing first, and it is very rarely the person whose name is on the chart. "Behind Every Great Doctor Is An Exhausted Nurse" says it once and does not apologise.

The Signature White version, poured with 60+ hours of Wild Huckleberry. Nurses Week, a hospital exchange, a friend who has stopped explaining her job: this is the one.

  • Phthalate free and non-toxic — vegan, cruelty free and non-GMO
  • Wild Huckleberry — dark berry with Tahitian vanilla and lemon zest

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What do you give a nurse who says she does not want a fuss?
A: Something small enough to accept without a speech is the answer, because the fuss is what she is declining rather than the thought. A jar on a shelf costs her nothing.

Q: Is a berry scent a good choice after a long shift?
A: Huckleberry with vanilla reads as comfortable rather than energising, which suits the hour most nurses actually get home. Citrus is better for a morning.

Q: Can this be given at a hospital gift exchange?
A: The joke is about the profession rather than about any individual, which is what makes it safe in a room full of colleagues. It reads out loud without any risk.

Q: How does a candle help somebody decompress?
A: Lighting one is a small, deliberate signal that the shift is over, and the scent gives a room a different character from the one you walked into. That is most of the appeal.

Q: Is soy wax better for somebody sensitive to smells?
A: Soy burns cooler and gives off no petroleum soot, and this one uses phthalate-free oils, which together bother people less than a cheap paraffin candle. Fragrance itself can still be a factor.

Q: Will the label survive being knocked about in a bag?
A: The printed label is applied to the glass and does not lift at the edges with ordinary handling. Glass is the part worth padding if it is travelling.
