Who says a trip to the opticians can’t smell amazing?
Introducing Light My Fire – our exclusive luxury candles, crafted just for EYES on St Albans by the brilliant local makers at Potters Crouch Candles. Hand-poured in St Albans and blended to perfection, these candles change with the seasons – always stylish, always a little bit cheeky, and always with a knowing wink to eyewear excellence.
We’ve had two limited editions so far:
- “Naughty” and “Nice” – because behaviour and scent are both highly subjective (let’s ignore Jez’s choice of shirts shall we?).
- “Is it better?” and “Is it worse?” – a candle-based tribute to the age-old optician’s question.

Created by one of the UK’s longest-standing artisan candle makers, each candle is made using the highest-grade essential oils, vegan-friendly ingredients, and none of the cheap fillers found in mass-produced candles.
Potters Crouch have been blending fragrance since the ’80s, and their passion for quality, clean burning and craftsmanship aligns perfectly with the EYES ethos: only the best will do.
New fragrances (and associated vision related puns) are in the works for Christmas, and as always, they’ll be designed to make you smile and breathe deeply. Whether you’re shopping for a gift, a treat for yourself, or a perfectly-scented thank-you, Light My Fire brings a little olfactory joy to your eyewear adventure.
Only available in store, and only in limited runs – once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Because it’s not just about what goes into our candles – it’s about what doesn’t.
Not your average opticians. Not your average candle.
