Hi, I'm Manu
Petrichor began with a feeling
Not a grand plan. Not a business strategy.
Just a quiet moment in the middle of our living room — me, my husband, our dog tangled in the cushions — when I lit a candle and felt like I’d come home.
It smelled like rainy mornings at my grandma's. Like the pages of an old book. Like being held by a memory you didn’t even know you missed.
I couldn’t stop thinking…
What if other people could feel that, too?
That’s how Petrichor was born.
Small batch, hand-poured, intentionally crafted to do more than just smell good. These candles are made to mean something — to take you somewhere. To hold a memory. To create a ritual.
This is more than a product for me. It’s a love letter to nostalgia.
To softness. To scent as story.
And if one of our candles finds its way into your home, I hope it brings with it that same sense of breath, warmth, and remembering.

One of the most amazing candles I've ever had, such a unique but comforting scent unlike anything I've ever bought before. Definitely recommend!
Well named, this candle fills the room with the subtle scent of the first drops of rain hitting dry earth. I love it.
Never expected a candle to smell exactly like rain, it’s a gentle lovely scent that sets a cosy tone without being overwhelming!
This is just beautiful. Thank you.
This is a premium product for a very fair and affordable price. I loved this scent, subtle but comforting. Made the room smell so warm and was great with a cracking log fire.
Recently received my candles from Petrichor Candles and I LOVE this scent and glad I got 2! It creates a beautiful, warm and comforting vibe to my office and home. Would definitely recommend.
I was wary of how accurately a candle could recreate the moment of stepping outside after a heavy rain on a warm day, but this candle seriously delivered. From the moment I took it out of the box it was like my muscles relaxed and I could almost hear the rain (probably my fish tank tbh). We have it in a pretty standard-sized lounge room and the smell isn't overpowering. It is quite faint and subtle, while still present when you walk through the door. Which is honestly the best for this scent - small whiffs and scent that floats on the air. So glad I purchased in the $99 bundle, can't wait to try the other scents!
These candles are really beautiful, they burn so clean, the wax is perfection. This scent is warm and cosy, i get images of toasted marshmallows when i burn it. Fantastic products and i will definately buy more.
The Bergamot and Banksia candle is an absolute delight. The bright citrus of bergamot blends beautifully with the earthy, woody notes of banksia, creating a scent that’s both refreshing and grounding. It fills the room without being overpowering and burns beautifully clean. Elegant, natural, and sophisticated—this candle has quickly become a favorite. Highly recommend!
All three smell.that I got are great..they smell fresh and fill the house but aren't overpowering in any way.
Beautiful product! The Amber glass jar adds to the ambient glow and experience! Will absolutely recommend and be buying again 🙌🏻❤️
