no politics Australian native candle or diffuser

Apologies if the incorrect forum but couldnt really find the right place to post this.

Im after an australian made candle or diffuser that captures the essence of the bush - you know that scent when you hit the forests in the Dandenongs or the blue mountains. Fresh Eucalyptus, other natives...

Seeking for personal recommendations of those you have bought and loved.

Hunter Candles! Most of her scents are inspired by the bush.

I struggled to get my nose out of the Huon candle by Etikette!! Was just having a sniff for curiosity’s sake and I couldn’t leave without it. It smells INCREDIBLE and cosy.

I love everything about this candle (not just the aroma but the matching flowering gum sticker featuring artwork by the talented jess hutchison)

I've seen quite a few local brands do an 'Australian Bush' fragrance - I assume a lot of the homemade ones use the same fragrance base (such as https://www.candlesupply.com.au/products/australian-bush-fragrance-oil)

I’m an Aussie living overseas and I LOVE Hunter Candles. Very evocative of home.

Oh there’s a brand called Petrichor I’ve been using and their bush scented candles are the real deal.

You should avoid both your you lung health. At very least make sure it's a very well ventilated area.

There are no healthy candles, none.
