Celebrate World Candle Month: Illuminate Your World with Scented Candles
As the days grow warmer and the evenings stretch out, September brings with it a moment to pause, reflect, and enjoy the simple pleasures that soy candles and scented candles offer. This World Candle Month, Urban Rituelle invites you to embrace the beauty of soy wax candles, not only as a functional item but as a source of serenity, style, and sensory delight.
Candles have been a part of human history for thousands of years, and today they are more than just a light in the dark, they are symbols of calm, relaxation, and personal indulgence.
The Illuminating History of Candles
From the ancient Egyptians' early version of a wick candle in 3000 BC to the clean-burning beeswax used in medieval Europe’s finest homes and churches, candles have long been an essential part of our lives. They’ve brought light to the darkest corners of history, played roles in rituals and celebrations, and stood as symbols of hope.
Yet, it wasn’t until the 19th century that candles became widely available, thanks to mechanised production and the discovery of paraffin wax.
By the 20th century, candles had shifted from necessity to luxury. No longer just a tool for light, they became cherished for the ambiance they create, the emotions they evoke, and the aesthetic touch they bring to our homes. Today, scented soy candles remain a favourite way to set the mood, whether you’re relaxing after a long day, celebrating with loved ones, or simply enhancing the scent of your living space.
Why We Love World Candle Month
A Tribute to Innovation & Tradition
The history of candles is rich and storied, reflecting centuries of human ingenuity. At Urban Rituelle, we honour this legacy by combining ancient rituals with modern-day craftsmanship.
Each of our soy candles is:
- Hand-poured in small batches, right here in Sydney
- Made from our exclusive EcoGlow wax blend for a clean, even burn
- Infused with bespoke, signature scents designed to fill the room
- Poured into our elegant Elemental Curve vessels that glow as beautifully as they burn
- Built with natural fibre wicks, free from toxins or smoke
- 100% vegan-friendly and cruelty-free
Our scented candles aren’t just about creating light. They’re made to illuminate the moments that matter, whether it's self-care, celebration, or a quiet daily ritual.
A Moment for Self-Indulgence
Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest impact. Lighting a scented soy candle can instantly transform your space, turning an ordinary day into a cherished moment of calm.
Let the soft flicker, the gentle scent, and the beautiful vessel become a small but powerful part of your everyday routine.
Promoting Candle Safety
While scented candles bring comfort and joy, it’s essential to practise proper care and safety. Always trim your wick, keep candles away from drafts, and never leave a burning candle unattended. A beautiful burn starts with safe habit, and ensures you get the best from your soy candle.
