Inspired by stories

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

Comma candles are made using vegan coconut/rapeseed blended wax, a sustainable eco wick and poured by hand in small batches in Edinburgh, Scotland.

We hope their beautiful and evocative scents will enrich everyday moments in your life.
