Candles for Men
The gift for a man who has everything! Our Candles for Him collection features four select creations inspired by two distinct fragrance profiles. It brings together the clean, balanced character of Gentleman—where cedar and bergamot give way to sandalwood and soft leather—with the richer, more dramatic depth of Oud Wood, blending smoky oud, dark amber, and vanilla.
What makes a good candle for men?
Most candle gifts for men fall short because they rely on sugary gourmand profiles. A true masculine atmosphere, we believe, is based around woody, smoky, leather, and citrus-forward wood notes that establish a calm, clear focus.

The Candles for Him collection
Gentleman, cedar and bergamot with sandalwood and leather
Bright bergamot opens this clean, balanced fragrance, followed by rich cedar and a warm base of sandalwood and soft leather. Its versatile, unisex profile works beautifully in shared spaces or as part of a personal fragrance collection. Shop the Gentleman cedar and sandalwood candle to bring this refined signature scent into your routine.
Oud Wood, smoky oud with dark amber and vanilla
Oud Wood is a deep, luxurious fragrance made with smoky agarwood, dark amber, and rich vanilla. With its bold scent throw, it is especially well-suited to larger rooms, open floor plans, and spaces with high ceilings. For the fullest fragrance experience, allow the candle to burn for about 30 minutes so it can form a full melt pool and release its complete scent profile throughout the space.

Frequently asked questions
What are your candles for men made of?
Our candles are hand-poured using soy wax, phthalate-free fragrance oils, cosmetic-grade colorants, and 100% lead- and zinc-free natural wood wicks. Each candle is finished in recyclable packaging with FSC-certified paper labels.
What candle scents do men like?
Many men gravitate toward scents that feel clean, warm, woody, or subtly spicy rather than overly sweet or floral. Popular fragrance notes include cedar, bergamot, sandalwood, leather, oud, amber, vanilla, vetiver, and citrus.
Is the Gentleman candle unisex?
Yes, the Gentlemen was created as a balanced, unisex fragrance. Its blend of bergamot, cedar, sandalwood, and soft leather feels clean and warm without leaning too traditionally masculine or feminine.
Do your candles have wood or cotton wicks?
Our candles come with natural wood wicks.
How long does the Gentleman candle burn?
The 14 oz Gentleman candle, as well as all of our 14 oz candles, has an estimated burn time of 45 to 50 hours. For the best performance, trim the wick before each use and limit each burn session to 4 hours or less.
Can men wear the fragrance oil instead of cologne?
Yes! Our fragrance oil is an alcohol-free alternative to traditional cologne and can be applied directly to the skin. Made with a nourishing jojoba and sweet almond oil base, it wears close to the body for a more personal, long-lasting scent experience. Choose the full-size rollerball or travel-size option based on how you plan to use it.
Do you offer gift sets?
While we do not currently offer a pre-made gift-set bundle, you can easily create one by pairing a candle with its matching fragrance oil. For example, the 14 oz Gentleman candle and full-size Gentleman fragrance oil create a coordinated home-and-personal fragrance gift for $100.
