How We Began

It all started in early 2021 when a decision I made changed my life. Feeling pressure on my upcoming exams, I decided to take my mind off it by heading to a local candle fair with my best friend.

As we walked through the fair, we were amazed by the variety of scents and the relaxing ambience that the candles created.

We were particularly drawn to the lavender-scented candles, which seemed to have a calming effect on them. As we left the fair, we managed to get ourselves a pair of lavender-scented candles.

Being students, we felt that school was difficult to get by, having to juggle between assignments and our personal lives.

Therefore, we hoped that using the candle could help allievate our stress. Upon lighting the candle, we will never forget the effect that it had on us, turning our surroundings into a cozy atmosphere for us to retreat without any worries weighing on our mind.

Wanting to relive that feeling again, it led to us crafting our own candles to cope with the stress of school. We spent many hours experimenting with different scents and wicks, and before we knew it, many months passed and what we once thought was just a hobby turned into a form of passion.

We would occasionally start handing out our candles to friends and family as a gift for them to enjoy. After hearing back from them about how our candles helped to relieve and relax their minds, we began to realize how much of an impact candles actually had on people's daily lives, especially during times of stress and anxiety.

This motivated us to design and create our own line of candles, with a mission to help many others destress and find peace of mind through the power of scented candles.

At m o n o t a r o i i . our vision is to spread our passion and love of candles with you, putting forth our best efforts to bring you the highest candle quality that your weary body deserves.

  • Candle Quality

    Each candle we craft is a work of art. We work tirelessly to ensure that every candle we create meets the highest standards of quality and purity. From sourcing our ingredients to our packaging design,

    m o n o t a r o i i . candles are a labor of love for us, an expression of who we are as individuals and as a company. Our candles are made from 100% soy wax, ethically sourced from mother nature and exquisite fragrance oils are used to create an inviting and unforgettable scent experience.

  • Our Candles

    Our candles tell a story. We’re dedicated to creating scents that transport you to another time and place — a moment of peace, connection and inspiration.
    From the way they look to the subtlety of the fragrance they give off, these candles are designed to awaken your senses in an intoxicating way. For us, candles are more than just a source of light; they deliver magic, mystery, and romance. The way they flicker, casting shadows. Their scent as they burn, bringing back memories of happy times, and their calming effect as we bask in their light.

    We are committed to crafting candles that you will enjoy and love. Our goal is that you find joy in our candles, not just an enjoyable-smelling light source.
