Apothecary Candles & Home Scents

Welcome to the world of slow beauty and soulful living. Our apothecary collection brings the essence of the Mediterranean into your everyday rituals with hand-poured candles, grounding scents, and the small details that make your space feel instantly calm and intentional. All of our apothecary candles and apothecary jars are made to be used, loved, and savored.

Scented Candles

Set your atmosphere with clean-burning candles in exclusive Mrs. Mandolin scents. From fresh florals to sunbaked herbs and citrus groves, each candle is poured in small batches using wax blends that burn beautifully from first light to final flicker. These are signature scents for the perfect mood – housed in minimalist jars that glow softly as they burn, providing a delightful fragrance .

Taper Candles

Add a tasteful flicker of light to dinner parties, quiet mornings, and cozy corners. Our taper candles come in earthy tones that complement every table and mood. Use them in clusters for a dramatic glow, or keep things simple with a single, sculptural holder.

Candle Holders

The right holder turns any candle into a centerpiece. Our collection includes hand-thrown ceramic, glass, and metal options, from timeless classics to Mediterranean-inspired shapes. Style them alone or as a layered group across your console, dining table, or bathtub edge.

Incenses & Holders

For those who love a smoky, slow-lingering scent, incense offers a beautiful alternative to flame. Choose grounding scents like sandalwood, fig, or myrrh, and pair with one of our minimalist holders made from natural materials. It’s an easy way to shift the mood of a space in a single breath, enhancing your overall experience and event.

Home Diffusers

Set it and scent it. Our apothecary diffusers give you a long-lasting fragrance with no flame required. They’re perfect for entryways, bathrooms, or bedside tables, with each bottle releasing a soft, steady aroma designed to last for weeks. Choose blends that match your energy.

Home Sprays

For an instant mood shift, spritz a little scent into the air, over linens, or even inside your closet. Our home sprays are subtle, sophisticated, and safe for most fabrics—perfect for freshening up guest rooms, powder rooms, or any space that needs a quick refresh.

Frequently Asked Questions: Fragrance Tips & Guides

How long should I burn my apothecary candles?

For the best scent throw and clean burn, let your candle melt fully across the top during each use (usually 2-3 hours). Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each lighting to avoid soot and tunneling.

How do I clean and reuse my candle jars?

Once finished, place the jar in the freezer for a few hours, and the wax should pop right out. Wash with warm, soapy water and reuse as a bud vase, pen holder, or small planter.

Which scents work best in diffusers vs. sprays?

Diffusers are ideal for slow-release background scents like lavender or fig, while sprays are perfect for quick freshness (citrus, eucalyptus, or floral blends).

Are your candles made with phthalate-free fragrances?

Yes. All of our apothecary candles are made with clean-burning wax and phthalate-free fragrance oils for a safe and toxin-free experience.
