The quintessential candle, designed to elevate any space.

Creating our Soleil Scented Candle was a years-long labor of love. Housed in a matte, recycled glass vessel, these candles fill your home with invigorating fragrances while also guarding against the dreaded “tunneling” effect. Their premium quality is something you have to see, feel, and, most importantly, smell to believe.

 
Choose from four uniquely developed scents, or go ahead and get them all.

 
Black Currant Bergamot

The fruitiness of black currants meets the tart, floral, citrus edge of bergamot.

 
Lilac Jasmine Sandalwood

The earthiness of sandalwood grounds crisp jasmine and lilac in this evocative, floral candle.

 
Black Pomegranate Sandalwood

Green, powdery, and slightly tart pomegranate complements the creamy earthiness of sandalwood.

 
Oud Rosewood

The warm, balsamic sweetness of oud is infused with the delicate scent of rosewood.

Caring for your candle.

First Time Burn

Leave it to burn for at least 2 hours, allowing all the top wax to melt completely. This prevents the wax from hollowing out later on.

Wick Maintenance

Make sure your wick is centered and straight before each burn. Regularly trim it to prevent excess smoke and allow for a more even burn.

Continued Burns

Never let the candle burn for more than 5 hours at a time. It is best not to move the candle while lit.

Extinguishing

We recommend using something to snuff out the flame. Blowing out the candle could result in splashing wax.

Crafted in luxury.

Vegan

Instead of paraffin wax, our candle is molded with natural soy wax and essential oils and is certified vegan-friendly.

Glass Vessel

For assembly, we used luxe reclaimed glass. The glossy vessel's clean design has a weighted bottom to keep the candle steady.

Burn Time

Ready for any occasion and developed to give the longest burn. If cared for properly, its clean burn can last for up to 40 hours.

A family of handcrafted scents.

Together with our current manufacturer, we painstakingly tested 30 scent formulations before finalizing four selections that struck a balance between fruity and floral, heavier and lighter scents. Resulting in something we’re proud to sell, they’re already a member favorite, showing up in order after order.

Italic Sells Luxury Fashion For Less

"The candle proved to be high quality—it came in a lovely, thick glass container with a white exterior. It gave off the ideal amount of scent that was pleasant without being overwhelming. The fragrance is warm and cozy with a lightly floral top note thanks to the rosewood."

The Best Candle Dupes

"There are two sandalwood options that have earthy-like notes, but with hints of floral lilac and jasmine or powdery, tart pomegranate."
