The Story Behind Miss Rio: Dartmoor Dreams & Pony Kisses

Miss Rio luxury candles displayed with equestrian countryside view

Welcome to Miss Rio - Where British Heritage Meets Equestrian Soul

Every candle we create tells a story - a story of windswept moorlands, the gentle nuzzle of a beloved pony, and the warmth of a British cottage after a winter ride. Welcome to the world of Miss Rio, where luxury meets tradition, and every fragrance is inspired by Dartmoor.

The Magic of 'Pony Kisses' Fragrance

Our signature scent, Pony Kisses, captures the essence of the equestrian lifestyle we hold dear. Imagine the soft warmth of a pony's breath on a crisp morning, the comfort of returning home after a ride across the moors, and the cozy embrace of a fireside moment.

This enchanting fragrance blends warming spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger with roasted coffee and fresh mint, all grounded in creamy vanilla. It's the scent of British heritage, countryside tradition, and the special bond between rider and horse - bottled in a beautiful hand-poured candle.

Inspired by Dartmoor

Dartmoor isn't just a place - it's a feeling. The rolling hills, ancient tors, wild ponies, and ever-changing skies inspire everything we create at Miss Rio. From Dartmoor Moonlight to London Stone, our candles capture the spirit of the British countryside and bring that magic into your home.

Each fragrance is carefully crafted to evoke memories of moorland walks, cozy cottages, and the timeless beauty of the English landscape. Whether you're an equestrian enthusiast or simply love the romance of the countryside, our candles transport you to that special place.

Behind the Scenes: Hand-Poured with Love in Britain

Every Miss Rio candle is hand-poured in the UK using premium soy wax. We believe in quality, craftsmanship, and values that matter:

  • 100% Vegan-Friendly - No animal-derived ingredients, ever
  • Cruelty-Free - Never tested on animals
  • Hand-Poured in Britain - Supporting local craftsmanship
  • Premium Soy Wax - Clean, long-lasting burn
  • Luxury Vessels - Beautiful frosted white marble and premium jars

Each 450ml candle is poured with care and attention to detail, ensuring you receive a product that's as beautiful as it is fragrant.

Caring for Your Luxury Soy Candle

To get the most from your Miss Rio candle, follow these simple care tips:

First Burn: Allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the jar (usually 2-3 hours). This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn throughout the candle's life.

Trim the Wick: Before each use, trim the wick to about 5mm. This prevents smoking and ensures a clean, steady flame.

Burn Time: Don't burn for more than 4 hours at a time. This helps maintain the fragrance quality and extends the life of your candle.

Safety First: Always place your candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, and never leave it unattended.

Storage: Keep your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the fragrance.

The Perfect Gift for Equestrian Lovers
