Loved your article! Dare I say it but I am a candle snob. I stumbled across a lovely fragrance boutique in Ascot, Brisbane which is owned by two perfumers. I am totally in love with their candles and products which are totally exclusive to them. They do sell on-line too. There are no nasties in any of their products which I love. Yes, they are Australian Made but very much influenced by Paris and their name says it all – JAJI Fragrances & Parfumerie. My favourite candle fragrance is Vintage Suede. Their candle jars are a good heavy size, beautiful royal blue with a polished gold rim. Yes, they are a little more expensive but oh my gosh – so worth it for me! For your reference here is their website http://www.jaji.com.au

You should check out Willows Scentials. I love that they use Australian Beeswax, and they really have so many fragrances.
I just love the fact that they sourced their wax from Australia, none of that imported wax that I see on the net!

In reply to Emmanuel. Oh yeah, I love Requie Opulenta! I am using those candles as gifts for Christmas. Personally, I like their French pear scent. I noticed that they recently came out with a cherry blossom candle which I love! I am not familiar with moontree but I will be sure to try it out.

I love this list ! You must must check out the One Oak Candle Co. They are absolutely kicking goals in the candle game and their scents are absolutely amazing! Their vessels are large, and the scent wafts throughout my house unlit. They are my new go to candle obsession!

I’ve tried many of those and particularly like the Circa and the Coco Lux. I’m a self-confessed candle addict, and proud of it! However, in the past few years I’ve come across Lumen & Luxe (lumenadluxe.com.au) and I have to say I’ve never looked back. Amazing scents – which you can actually smell throughout a very large open plan space, as we have – and the range is ever-expanding. They do regular sized candles, and minis, but their killer product (which I’m lucky enough to have been gifted one by my Mum, after raving about them so much!!) is their huge concrete candles. Such a beautiful feature. Their room sprays are amazing too.
The tigerlily & patchouli scent is my fave, and I can’t stop buying it, though am also being adventurous and branching into some equally divine fragrances this year (since I’m burning more candles being in lockdowns!) and have the Summer in Saigon (jasmine & magnolia – swoon) ready to go for the warmer weather. And the best part? Marina, who runs the business, is absolutely amazing. You MUST check them out. And no, I’m not related nor paid for this rave – HAHA! – I just love their candles.

Love your article! Through my own research I have found some other brands you could add:
1. Requie Opulenta candles (my personal favourite as they use a nontoxic wax): https://www.requieopulenta.com/
2. Moontree candles (very popular in the Blue Mountains): https://moontree.com.au/#
3. Apsley and company Australia.

Love the variety and am going to get on to getting some of these as I can never be without the latest candles! My partner and I came across the folk at Manor Road https://manorroad.com.au/ a month ago and while their box designs are gorgeous…they smell even better 🙂 Highly recommend! They’re hand made in Perth.

I love Byron Bay Candles, especially their 4 essential oil blends. I have ordered these for friends many times who always love them. They look great too as does their stall at Byron and Bangalow markets.

In reply to Jodie. Hey Jodie. Regardless of the candle, the wick can often thicken up once you blow it out, so the next time you light it all the black burns off and can stain walls. You need to keep the wick trimmed down. Once you blow it out and it cools down, you can cut the wick down to under 1cm. Hope that helps.

Hi
Thank you for your list.
I am new to candles and recently bought a candle that caused my walls to go black. I am wondering if you have tested that with your list. The candle I bought was not that cheap and was from a reputable home ware store. The brand I bought was not on your list so that was good to see.

Thanks for this article. I also like the brands:
Luxuriate: (they offer a marble candle holder that you just place refills into and don’t have to worry about cleaning out after the candle burns down.

Sol Factorie: they have cute ceramic containers and great fragrances, also shipping is quick

Swik: they have great looking candle containers and fragrances
