My love affair with candles didn’t start in a workshop, it started at home, a few years ago, in search of something better. I kept buying candles that looked promising but left me disappointed, too expensive, too generic, too weak on fragrance. So I decided to pour my own.
What began as a bit of a DIY experiment quickly turned into a full-on passion. I dove into online tutorials, soaked up every video I could find, and started developing my own techniques.
But the real inspiration came from somewhere unexpected: my sweet tooth. I’ve always adored desserts, especially cheesecakes and macaroons, and I realised that their comforting, nostalgic aromas could become the soul of something truly special.
For me, candle-making is part science, part therapy, and all heart. I love the process, melting the wax, blending the fragrance, and pouring each candle by hand. It’s a ritual that helps me relax, dream, and express myself creatively. But it’s more than that. It’s about creating scents that stir memories, start conversations, and light up people’s lives, sometimes literally.
There’s nothing better than watching someone pick up one of my candles, inhale deeply, and break into a smile. Especially when they say, “I could eat this!” That surprise, that joy, that’s what Candlelicious is all about. Candles that don’t just smell amazing, but tell a story. Candles that feel like a treat. And candles that you truly can’t find anywhere else.
