the Bespoke candle store

Vintage Vessels. Organic Waxes. Modern Fragrances.

We search the world for unique vintage containers to transform into bespoke handmade candles in your choice of alluring scents. 

Bespoke Candles

Every month we debut a group of lust-worthy vintage containers to be transformed into made-to-order hand-poured candles in your choice of five original scents.

All our scented candles are made with a 100% plant-based, non-GMO vegetable wax and organic cotton wicks.

Your candle will only be poured when your order is placed. It takes a bit of time for your new candle to harden and be ready for shipping. Please allow 7 days from date of order for your candle to be shipped.

How To Order 

  1. Choose your container. We offer vintage containers and also classic containers.

  2. Choose your scent from our fragrance menu. Our scents change every month (but we can always repeat one you love just for you).

  3. We scent our candles at 10% volume which provides a strong fragrance to fill a room. If you wish for something more subtle or if you like a really intense fragrance experience, we can adjust the scent volume.

Our unique scents rotate monthly. (Ask us to repeat a favorite anytime.)

Make It Last

Candle Guide

If you’re wondering how to make your candles last longer, here’s a handy candle care guide.

  • First Burn

    When lighting your candle for the first time, allow it to burn for 2 to 3 hours until the top layer of the candle wax melts completely into liquid wax. For each subsequent lighting do not let candle burn for more than 3 hours at a time.

  • Trim Wick

    Keep candle wick trimmed to 1/4" to prevent smoke emissions or drowned wick. After each burn, make sure the candle wick is centered in the wax. The wick and flame should never be touching the glass.

  • Safety First

    A lit candle should also only be placed on a flat, heat-resistant surface and kept out of reach of children and pets. When approaching the end of the candle, leave 25% of wax unburned and ensure you are not burning for more than 3 hours.
