Inspired by stories

Our literary candles are inspired by classic stories, each scent has been carefully chosen to be reminiscent of a person, place or theme from a book.

Comma candles are made using eco coconut/rapeseed wax, a sustainable wooden wick and poured by hand in small batches. We hope their beautiful and evocative scents will enrich everyday moments in your life.

CANDLE CARE GUIDE

  • Our Mission

    To handcraft exquisitely scented candles and fragranced home goods, inspired by classic literature and made without harming animals.

    We want to celebrate reading and everyday moments of calm.

  • Our Story

    We are a female-led small business based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

    Combining joint passions for reading and for enjoying a beautifully scented candle (both at the same time - even better!) resulted in Comma Candles.

  • Our Candles

    At Comma Candles, we use an eco blended coconut/rapeseed wax for all of our candles, sustainable wooden wicks and the highest quality fragrance oils, not tested on animals, and free from phthalates and nasties.
