The Complete Casa Nochi Collection: All Ten Candles, Honestly Mapped
Ten candles, four scent families, one tasting-flight order. The full Casa Nochi range with mood, use case, and what each one actually does in a room.
In short
Casa Nochi makes ten candles, all £29.99, all 220g, all coconut-apricot wax with a 50+ hour burn. The collection is built around four scent families - Smoky, Citrus, Floral, Woody, Gourmand - and one structural rule: every candle blends one Slavic note with one Andean note. This guide walks all ten in tasting-flight order (lightest to heaviest), tells you which room each one belongs in, and recommends a starting trio if you don't want to commit to ten.
How the collection is built
Two people, one kitchen table in E16. Pavel from Russia, his partner from Peru. Every Casa Nochi candle is constructed on the same rule: one note from the long northern night, one from the Andean dusk. Birch tar meets palo santo. Beeswax meets cacao. Lavender meets thyme - yes, those are both Old World, but the way they sit together comes from a Lima kitchen, not a Provençal one.
The result is ten candles that share a wax, a vessel, a price, and a structural logic - but smell completely different from each other. They are not "versions of the same thing in different scents." They are ten different arguments about what an evening should feel like.
A short note on what we are not. We are not a Calm-app scent line. We are not a wellness brand. We do not believe a candle can fix your anxiety. We believe a candle can mark the moment the day ends and you begin, which is a smaller and more honest claim.
The four families, in tasting order
A scent flight goes light to heavy - same logic as wine. Start with citrus, end with gourmand. Here is the full collection in that order.
Citrus - start here
Casablanca Sunrise - mandarin, orange blossom, saffron. The brightest candle in the range. Built for mornings, kitchens, and the hour after a friend leaves and you're tidying. The saffron is what makes it Casa Nochi rather than just-another-citrus. Pairs with: a Sunday morning, a clean window.
Floral - three different arguments
Luna Eterna - jasmine, violet leaf, soft amber. The quiet floral. Sits behind a conversation rather than over it. Good for a bedroom that needs to feel deliberate rather than dressed. The violet leaf is the Slavic note (think: northern green) and the amber is the warm Andean catch.
Aphrodite's Whisper - Damascus rose, tuberose, amber attar. The loud floral. This is not subtle and is not trying to be. Wear it as a candle the way you'd wear a statement coat. Built for a dinner party where you want the room to know it's a dinner party. Two worlds, one match - see Aphrodite's Whisper.
Noir Orchid - black orchid, plum, dark chocolate. Technically a floral but reads more like a dessert. The plum is what does it. This is the candle for a late-November evening when the curtains are already drawn at 4pm.
Woody - the founders' favourites
Otto Eterna - lavender, thyme, cedar. The most adult candle in the range. No sugar, no flowers, no apology. Built for a study or a bathroom, not a living room. Pavel's daily pick.
Aurora Verde - fig leaf, jasmine, palo santo. The most Peruvian candle in the range. Fig leaf is the green entry, palo santo carries the body, jasmine softens the exit. If you have a Diptyque Figuier loyalty, this is the closest sibling - different, but the same olfactory neighbourhood.
Smoky - the entry point for most buyers
Amber Nochi - honey, tobacco, smoky cedar. The most-ordered candle in the collection and the one we send to first-time buyers. Honey is the Russian beeswax-in-the-icon-corner note. Tobacco and cedar give it the cold-mountain-cabin body. This is the one to start with if you only ever buy one.
Gourmand - finish the flight here
Cherry Velour - black cherry, almond, soft leather. Reads as dessert with a hint of jacket. The leather note is what keeps it from being too sweet. Built for a winter evening, a glass of red, a film you've seen before.
Vanilla Nochi - bourbon vanilla, demerara, sandalwood. Vanilla done seriously. Not a cupcake. Demerara gives it the burnt-sugar edge, sandalwood gives it the spine. A good gift for someone who thinks they don't like vanilla - this will change their mind. See Vanilla Nochi.
Parisian Morning - roasted coffee, croissant, brown sugar. The most literal candle in the range - it smells exactly like the name. Built for an actual morning, in an actual kitchen, ideally a Saturday. Burns long enough to outlast the second cup.
The starting trio (if ten feels like a lot)
If you want to understand the range without committing to all ten, three candles cover the map:
- Amber Nochi - the smoky entry
- Casablanca Sunrise - the bright opposite
- Vanilla Nochi - the gourmand finish
That trio at full price is £75. The Casa Nochi trio bundle is £79 and includes free UK delivery. We saved you £10 and a decision.
Which candle belongs in which room
A short, opinionated list.
- Kitchen: Casablanca Sunrise or Parisian Morning
- Living room: Amber Nochi, Cherry Velour, or Aurora Verde
- Bedroom: Luna Eterna or Vanilla Nochi (never Aphrodite's Whisper - too loud)
- Bathroom: Otto Eterna (the only one where eucalyptus-adjacent logic works)
- Dinner party: Aphrodite's Whisper or Noir Orchid
- Office or study: Otto Eterna or Amber Nochi
- Gift you're unsure about: Take the quiz and let it pick
What this means for Casa Nochi
The collection is finished, for now. Ten is a deliberate number - enough to give the range a spine, few enough that we can hand-pour every batch ourselves on the same table without subcontracting. No Christmas SKU. No limited drops. No "summer edition" that's just the same wax with a different label. When we add an eleventh candle it will be because the collection actually needs one, not because the calendar does.
If you've made it through this guide, you already know enough to pick. If you don't want to pick, the scent quiz will pick for you.
FAQ
Are all ten Casa Nochi candles the same price and size? Yes. £29.99, 220g, 50+ hour burn, coconut-apricot wax, black matte glass. The only difference is the scent. Bundles are available at /bundle.
Which Casa Nochi candle should I start with? Amber Nochi is the entry point for most buyers - honey, tobacco, smoky cedar. If you know you prefer something brighter or sweeter, Casablanca Sunrise or Vanilla Nochi are equally good first picks. The quiz takes 90 seconds if you'd rather be told.
What's the difference between Luna Eterna and Aphrodite's Whisper? Both are floral. Volume. Luna Eterna is a quiet jasmine that sits behind conversation. Aphrodite's Whisper is a Damascus rose built to fill a dinner party. Same family, different jobs.
Can I burn two Casa Nochi candles at the same time? Yes, but pair them carefully. Same family works (two florals, two gourmands). Cross-family is risky - Amber Nochi and Casablanca Sunrise will fight each other. Safe pairs: Vanilla Nochi + Parisian Morning, or Luna Eterna + Aphrodite's Whisper.
Why no Christmas candle? Because every brand makes one and most of them are cinnamon-clove with a snowman on the label. We don't have anything to add to that conversation. Vanilla Nochi and Cherry Velour both work for December without needing a seasonal sticker.
