What Makes A Great Candle?
7 Things Most People Don't Know
Beautiful candles often look similar.
The difference is in how they're made.
Most people choose a candle based on the fragrance. We believe there are seven things that matter.
1. Not All Soy Wax Is Created Equal
Walk into almost any homewares store and you'll see candles labelled "soy wax."
But here's something most people don't know...
Soy wax isn't one single ingredient.
There are many different wax blends, and the blend used affects how a candle burns, how it releases fragrance and how it performs over time.
That's why we developed our own Eco Glow Wax, an exclusive soy and coconut wax blend created specifically for Urban Rituelle.
After years of testing, we found the perfect balance between a beautiful burn, exceptional fragrance performance and an even melt pool.
It's a wax you won't find in any other candle.
2. The Glass Matters Too
Most people choose a candle because of how it smells.
We think the vessel deserves just as much attention.
Our exclusive Elemental Curve Vessel features beautifully thick glass walls that create a premium, luxurious feel while also helping protect the candle as it burns.
Its timeless curved design has become one of Urban Rituelle's signatures and is designed to be reused long after the candle has finished.
Because beautiful design should last longer than the wax.
3. Strong Fragrance Isn't The Goal. Beautiful Fragrance Is.
Some candles rely on adding more fragrance.
We take a different approach.
We believe beautiful fragrance comes from the quality of the fragrance oil, not simply using more of it.
By pairing exceptional fragrance with our Eco Glow Wax, we're able to create sophisticated fragrances that gently fill your home without becoming overpowering.
Quality will always outperform quantity.
4. How A Candle Is Made Matters
Many candles are mass produced.
Ours never have been.
For more than 27 years, every Urban Rituelle candle has been hand poured in Sydney by our team.
Making candles in small batches allows us to maintain the quality, consistency and attention to detail that simply isn't possible with large-scale production.
It's not the quickest way to make candles.
But we believe beautiful candles are worth taking the time to make properly.
5. We Test Every Fragrance Individually
Here's something most people never think about...
Every fragrance behaves differently, so every fragrance is tested individually.
Before a new candle is released, we test multiple wick sizes with every individual fragrance until we're completely satisfied with the burn performance.
We also continue test burning every production batch because natural waxes and fragrances can vary slightly from batch to batch.
It's one of the most time-consuming parts of what we do.
It's also one of the most important.
6. A Beautiful Candle Should Last Beyond The First Burn
Some candles make a wonderful first impression.
Then they tunnel.
Lose their fragrance.
Or simply don't burn as beautifully after a few uses.
We believe the experience should be just as enjoyable on the last burn as it is on the first.
From our Eco Glow Wax to our carefully selected cotton wicks, every detail is chosen to create a candle you'll enjoy time after time.
Because quality isn't just about how a candle starts.
It's about how it finishes.
7. Every Part Of The Candle Has To Work Together
A great candle isn't created by accident.
The wax.
The fragrance.
The wick.
The vessel.
Every component influences how a candle performs.
That's why we carefully develop every Urban Rituelle candle as a complete design, ensuring each element works together to create the beautiful burn and fragrance experience we're known for.
It's these details that people don't see...
...but always experience.

I love the candles. I have a very big open plan house and one candle burning spreads its delicious aroma through the whole house. People always comment about how nice my house smells when they visit. Just lovely.

Urban Rituelle candles are exceptional quality, with beautiful fragrances that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. It's fantastic to support a business that not only produces a premium product but also gives back to the community through its support of the Zoie Moore Foundation. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quality candle that makes a positive difference.
I absolutely love the products these guys produce! My top pick is the Lemongrass and Myrtle with Eucalyptus! The scent is fresh and familiar and makes me so grateful for the beautiful place we live in – Australia! I have an Airbnb property and I get so many compliments and comments on the incredible Urban Rituelle products I use in the house. Thank you Urban Rituelle! I’m a very happy client!!!
I have been buying my candles & diffusers from Urban Rituelle for more than 5+ years and do not buy any other product. The company is professional, the staff cannot be more helpful and show friendship and great listening skills to understand what I have wanted. The aroma lasts and my home always smells fresh & alive. Best products ever and best of all fully Australian made.
5 stars! These candles are seriously divine. You know those candles that are so sweet they are a little sickly, this isn’t them! They have a lovely, subtle fragrance. Highly recommend.
Recently purchased 3 soy candle bundle online. Called up and added a diffuser to the same order without any issue. Candles were dispatched the next day. Beautifully packaged. We have used the Urban Rituelle Mandarin Basil and Lime soy candle both at home and at work for many years. It instantly relaxes. Such a lovely natural fragrance. If you want to sell or rent out your home, use it as a secret booster. Highly recommend Urban Rituelle, an Australian company producing the highest quality products.
Where have these candles been all my candle buying life? I thought I'd been buying quality, the best candles etc etc. No way! I have now bought the best candles. Urban Rituelle are the loveliest fragranced, cleanest burning; beautiful candles I have ever bought. I won't be going anywhere else for my candles in future.
Absolutely love this candle from Urban Rituelle. The White Lotus, Geranium Leaf and Bergamot scent is fresh, calming and beautifully balanced without being overpowering. It creates such a relaxing atmosphere and feels a bit like bringing a spa into your home. Definitely a new favourite.
