Light Something that isn't the Office on Fire

Meet the candles born from chaos: sustainable, hand-poured and just a little bit rude. OFFICE ETHNICS blends artisan fragrance with office satire, zodiac drama and the kind of humour that makes HR nervous. Made with rapeseed and coconut wax and crafted by leading perfumers, these candles look good, smell better and say what your Teams messages can’t.

Light one for a laugh. Gift one for revenge. Burn one instead of the office.

  • Water

    Emotional depth with a splash of salt, Cancer, Pisces and Scorpio swim through this scent story like they are starring in their own internal drama. Fresh, herbal and softly aquatic.
