Clean Burn Promise
Made with coconut-apricot wax that's soy-free and gentle on sensitive noses.
Burns cleanly with no soot, smoke, or harsh chemicals.
Your Journey Begins:
Light the wick and transport yourself to the misty shores of ancient Ireland.
Picture this:
The rugged Isle of Iona. Arctic terns calling overhead. Cold sea spray rising from pristine waters. Green seagrass dancing in the Atlantic breeze.
Inside stone monastery walls, a hooded monk hunches over parchment. The gentle crinkle of vellum. The scratch of quill on page. Natural pigments mixing into brilliant blues and golds.
This is where art became prayer.

Ingredients & Materials
✨ Ingredients & Materials
Each candle is made-to-order in our artisan boutique studio in Northern Washington, using elevated ingredients chosen for their quality, safety, and story-rich character.
We believe luxury lives in the details — and you’ll feel that with every flicker.
🕯️ Wax
We use a creamy, clean-burning coconut-apricot wax — a sustainable alternative prized by boutique perfumers and artisan chandlers for its smooth finish and excellent scent throw.
Soy-free, making it a gentler option for those prone to allergies or headaches
Burns cleanly and evenly, with no soot, smoke, or harsh chemical scent
Has a low melting point, meaning it never gets too hot — safer for your space and family
Naturally creamy and soft to the touch, creating an indulgent experience even before the flame is lit
Customers who are sensitive to traditional or soy candles consistently tell us: “This is the first candle I can burn without issues — and it smells like heaven.”

Candle Care Tips
1) For the first burn, let the candle burn for up to 3-4 hours - or until the melted "pool" reaches the edge. (Typically 1-2 hours for a 2oz sample size.) This prevents tunneling! Candles have memory!
2) Always trim your wooden wick to 1/8 inch.If your wick is too long, the flame will be too big and can become a fire hazard and also give off wisps of smoke that shouldn't be there. (Nail clippers work great for wooden wicks!)
3) Clear any debris from your candle before burning, including any soot build-up on the wick. This will help your candle to last longer and burn cleaner! Never burn near anything flammable.
4) Always place your candle on a non-flammable surface! All candle vessels will get hot - be sure to place your candle on a proper candle holder or heat-safe surface that will not burn or ignite.
5) Never leave a candle unattended!In addition, be sure there is nothing nearby your candle that can ignite (hairspray, a wall, paper, a lamp, a pillow, etc.)
6) Enjoy your candles! Mythologie Candles are meant to transport you to another time, world, or dimension! Science proves that scent can alter the mood for the better: enjoy the fully immersive experiences Mythologie Candles provide whenever you need a pick-me-up, inspiration, or an immersion into your favorite book, movie, or game!
