Founded in 2020 by interior designer Datin Catherine Lai, 3Rituals is a brand that seeks to balance art and design with the calm serenity of nature’s best offerings. This brand’s scented soy-wax candles aren’t your run-of-the-mill home fragrance lineup—each product is made using an ethically-sourced crystal, gemstone or other natural minerals, sourced from Brazil, Madagascar and South Africa. In short, it’s an indulgent treat for your space and your senses alike.

PS: 3Rituals also offers reed diffusers and home accessories to decorate your space with!

Self Supply

Self Supply is a two-man operation that specialises in handmade candles, candle accessories and tile furniture. While their selection of soy wax-scented candles is something to behold (you should get a whiff of their jasmine, lemongrass and white musk candles!), the real highlight is their candy-coloured range of artisanal candles. From joyful twists to cheeky butts and beyond, this local brand’s wares are guaranteed to spark joy.

Penang-based candle and essential oil brand Kandle Kandle offers nature-soaked scents that may pique your olfactory senses if you’re a fan of woodsy, earthy notes. The hand-poured soy wax candles come in an amalgamation of scents (not just one scent per candle), with bestsellers including No. 1 (pear, freesia and patchouli) and No. 2 (ambrette, sea salt and wood sage) that are often out-of-stock.

Looking for candles that aren’t encased in the usual amber/glass jars? Check out the Korean-inspired label Candle Lab + Co. for 100 per cent natural soy wax candles that are almost too delectable to burn. You’ll find candles in the most creative designs (from cheese blocks to macarons), and even DIY kits and birthday “cakes“. There’s just one catch: These aren’t edible, sadly!

Håndlavet

Local candle brand Håndlavet (which literally translates to “handmade” in Danish) specialises in—you guessed it—handmade soy candles that come with natural wooden wicks.
