Does the vanilla scent feel sugary?

No. Vanilla sits at the base, but cocoa, cinnamon and a thread of nutmeg keep the composition composed and grown-up.

Do you ship vanilla scented candles outside Poland?

We ship outside Poland too, but rates and delivery times are agreed individually - there is no fixed international tariff yet. Write to kontakt@urbannote.pl and we will reply with a quote for your parcel.

Will it work as a gift?

Yes - it arrives in UrbanNote packaging suitable for gifting, and you can add hand wrapping at checkout.

Is it a good souvenir from Warsaw?

Yes. The scent tells one scene from Warsaw, so it brings the city back after the trip. 120 g at 39 zł is enough for a small keepsake; for a gift, choose 190 g or 350 g. We ship within Poland only.

What if I don't like the scent?

You have 30 days to return it, no reason needed. You can open the box and smell it - but the product must be new and unused (candle not burnt, diffuser bottle unopened). Instructions and the form are on the Returns page.

City and scent

Warsaw

A souvenir from Warsaw

It holds a Warsaw morning on Chmielna Street: steam from a bakery, cinnamon with clove, vanilla and cocoa. 120 g at 39 zł is enough for a small keepsake; for a gift, choose 190 g or 350 g. We ship within Poland only, so it is a souvenir to take home with you.

The studio

Every city has a scent

I watch Polish cities change, and behind each one I see something of its own - a tradition, a location, an everyday association. That can be told through scent.

Long-lasting and fragrant

I took the 190g for a test. It burns over 40 hours. I was sure it would be less. Now I am ordering the 350g because I already know this scent is here to stay.

The scent lingers after putting it out

That surprised me the most. I put the candle out in the evening, and in the morning I walk into the room and it still smells faintly. No other candle has given me that.

Autumn afternoons

I bought it for chilly October evenings - and that is its moment. Cinnamon, cocoa, that warm sweetness is exactly what you need when temperatures drop. The only downside is that at an uneven temperature (e.g. by a window) the wax tends to burn a bit unevenly. In normal conditions there is no issue.

A gift that made an impression

I bought it for a friend’s birthday. She said it was the nicest gift she had received this year. The packaging is elegant, I did not even need to wrap it in extra paper.

On trial - and rightly so

I took the 190g because I did not know the brand. The scent is beautiful, warm, but for my living room (35 m2) I need a larger size. For the bedroom - just right.
