At Petrichor Candles, we believe your candle should be more than just a beautiful scent in a jar — it should be an experience. That’s why every candle we create is crafted with the highest quality materials, sourced right here in Australia, and made to meet our strict standards for performance, safety, and sustainability.
Our Wax: The Foundation of a Perfect Burn
We use a premium coconut soy wax blend from a trusted Australian manufacturer. This wax isn’t just chosen for its creamy finish and luxurious feel — it’s chosen for its performance. Coconut soy wax burns cleaner and longer than many traditional waxes, meaning you can enjoy hours of fragrance without black soot or toxins in the air.
It also offers an exceptional scent throw, both when unlit (“cold throw”) and burning (“hot throw”), so your space is filled with a rich, even aroma from start to finish. As an added bonus, coconut soy wax is a renewable, biodegradable resource — making it a better choice for the planet too.
Our Fragrances: The Heart of the Experience
A candle’s fragrance is what transforms a moment. That’s why we use artisan fragrance oils produced by Luxaroma, right here in Australia. They’re known for creating some of the highest quality fragrances in the world, and every oil is developed using only the finest raw materials.
Fragrance oils are specifically designed for applications like candle making, ensuring they bind beautifully with our coconut soy wax to give you a consistent, long-lasting scent. While they are synthetic in composition, many contain a high percentage of essential oils — bringing the best of nature together with the benefits of fragrance technology.
Why We Choose Fragrance Oils Over Essential Oils in Candles
Essential oils are beautiful in aromatherapy but can be tricky in candles — they’re fixed in composition and don’t always perform well in wax, leading to weaker scent throw and uneven burning. Our fragrance oils are fine-tuned for candle performance, ensuring every burn smells as good as the first.
Safety, Purity & Quality Assurance
Our fragrance oils meet the highest safety standards, adhering to RIFM and IFRA guidelines. They are:
- Phthalate-free
- Manufactured in Australia
- Never tested on animals
Every fragrance undergoes a triple-check quality assurance process — from raw ingredient testing, to production checks, to final batch consistency testing. This means that whether you’re buying a candle today or a year from now, the scent you love will always smell exactly the same.
The Petrichor Promise
From the moment you open the lid to the last flicker of the flame, we want you to feel the care and craftsmanship behind every candle we make. By combining premium coconut soy wax, world-class fragrance oils, and meticulous attention to detail, we create candles that don’t just fill a room — they create an atmosphere.
Because at Petrichor Candles, quality isn’t just part of the process.
It is the process.
