CANDLES AS THEY SHOULD BE: THE STORY OF OUR HANDMADE SCENTED CANDLES

Since 2018, we’ve been perfecting the art of handmade scented candles. It all began at our therapy retreat nestled in the Alicante region of Spain. We weren’t looking to start a luxury candle brand—but when your guests keep asking to buy the candles you made for relaxation and ambiance, the universe has other plans. Fast forward to now, and FOX & WOLF is producing hundreds of aromatic candles each week—still by hand, still with heart.

What sets our candles apart? Everything.

CRAFTED WITH CARE AND CONSCIOUSNESS

Our candles are handmade in our studio in Spain using a unique blend of plant-based waxes—absolutely no paraffin, ever. Each one is poured, wicked, and finished by hand, ensuring an even burn and consistent scent throw that builds gently in the room. You won’t get a hit-you-in-the-face smell here. Just a perfectly balanced aroma that lingers like a good memory.

We only use perfume-grade fragrance oils (we’re talking the kind used in fine fragrance), and we pair them with cotton and linen wicks for a clean, even burn. Our wax is vegan and cruelty-free. No part of our candles contains animal-derived ingredients, and we never test on animals. It’s luxury with a conscience.

DESIGNED TO BE SEEN—AND SAFE

Let’s be honest—looks matter. Our candles are poured into stunning ombré glass vessels made especially for us. These aren’t just any glass jars—they’re engineered to handle the heat. Unlike mass-produced candles that are often poured into off-the-shelf glass not designed for high temperatures, our vessels were developed specifically for candle making. That means better safety, better performance, and better aesthetic appeal. They’re the kind of candle jars you’ll want to keep even after the candle’s long gone.

Each of our 36 fragrances is a mood of its own, curated to elevate your space with scent and style.

AWARD-WINNING AND PROUD

We’re not the only ones who think our candles are something special. In 2021, we were awarded Best Candles in Spain by the Luxury Lifestyle Brand Awards. That recognition fuels our commitment to keep pushing boundaries in craftsmanship and design.

WHY OUR CANDLES BURN BETTER

This isn’t guesswork. Our background in wellness and years of hands-on experience mean we understand the science of how a candle should burn and release fragrance. Our wicking technique, wax-to-oil ratios, and pouring methods are dialed in to perfection. The result? Even burns. Full melts. Superior scent diffusion.

GET THE BEST OUT OF YOUR CANDLE

Want your FOX & WOLF candle to burn beautifully from first light to final flicker? Here are our top tips:

  1. Trim the wick: Before each burn, trim your wick to around 5mm. This helps prevent smoking and ensures a steady flame.
  2. Let it pool: The first time you burn your candle, let the wax melt all the way to the edge of the glass. This sets the memory of the wax and prevents tunneling.
  3. Avoid drafts: Keep your candle away from breezy areas. Drafts can make the flame flicker, causing uneven burning.
  4. Keep it clean: If soot builds up on the inside of the glass, wait until the candle is cool, then gently wipe it away with a soft cloth.
  5. Burn time matters: Aim for burns of 2–4 hours at a time. This keeps your candle happy and healthy.

Our ombré glass is not just gorgeous—it plays a role in the burn, too. Because it was designed for candles, it holds heat effectively and evenly. This means your candle burns safely and maintains an even wax pool throughout its life.
