Cumbrian Minty
Luxury Soy Candle
By L&E Apothecary Candle Co 
Hand-poured in the Lake District
Fresh, invigorating and full of northern spirit, Cumbrian Minty is a bright, awakening fragrance inspired by one of Cumbria’s most iconic creations, Kendal Mint Cake.
Cool peppermint opens the scent with an instant lift, softened by the calming clarity of eucalyptus and balanced with a subtle citrus sparkle of lime. The result is a clean, energising aroma that feels like stepping onto a fellside path, breathing in crisp mountain air with every breath.
A candle for early mornings, clear minds, and anyone who craves freshness with meaning.
The Inspiration
Inspired by the legendary Kendal Mint Cake, a Cumbrian classic carried by climbers on the first successful ascent of Mount Everest.
Mint cake is more than a sweet; it’s a symbol of endurance, adventure and resilience. A staple of hikers, explorers and mountaineers, it represents the spirit of those who push onward, no matter the weather.
We wanted to capture that same feeling in fragrance: strength, clarity, freshness and momentum.
That is how Cumbrian Minty was born, a modern twist on heritage, rooted firmly in Lake District pride.
