why creating the best singapore candles was our mission
Our journey toward clean candles started with a simple but profound realisation: the things we bring into our homes shape our well-being. Many scented products contain chemicals linked to health concerns, something we couldn’t ignore. Finding a fragrance partner who shared our commitment to transparency and safety wasn’t easy, but with a diagnosed autoimmune condition, compromising wasnt an option. Today, we work with a team that has spent nearly a decade developing safe, toxin-free scents, free from phthalates, carcinogens, and other harmful ingredients.
For us, clean candles aren’t a trend, they’re a standard. Every element is considered, every ingredient intentional, because the things we live with should be as refined as the spaces they inhabit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Candle Care & Burning
Our candles burn for an estimated 50 hours. You can prolong your candle burn time by trim the wick before each burn.
For an even burn and to prevent tunneling, let your candle melt across the entire surface on the first burn. Always trim the wick to 5mm before lighting to reduce soot and ensure a clean flame.
Tunneling happens when a candle isn't burned long enough for the wax to fully melt across the top. To fix it, try burning your candle for longer (around 2–3 hours), or carefully wrap the top with aluminum foil, leaving an opening for the flame, to help melt the wax evenly.
A “mushroom” wick happens when too much carbon builds up from an untrimmed wick. This can cause excess soot and smoke. Trim your wick before each burn to keep the flame clean and steady.
Our candles are free from phthalates, parabens, carcinogens, and other harmful toxins. We use high-quality wax and carefully selected fragrance oils to create a safer, more refined candle experience.
We use a premium UK soy wax that offers a clean burn, excellent scent throw, and a long-lasting candle life.
Sweating (small beads of oil on the wax) can occur due to temperature changes. This doesn’t affect performance—simply wipe away excess oil and burn as usual.
Absolutely. Once your candle is finished, clean out the jar with warm, soapy water and repurpose it as a holder for plants, stationery, or keepsakes or come back to us for a refill.
