Office Ethics was born out of burnout, memes and a desperate need for a hobby.

Fed up with the daily chaos of office life, I bought a candle-making kit on impulse to decompress. What began as stress relief quickly turned into a scent-fuelled side hustle. The only thing that got me through each day? 2 colleagues and a steady stream of savage office memes after hours.

Welcome to Office Ethnics. A candle brand for the emotionally employed and spiritually exhausted. Born from passive-aggressive Teams messages and the quiet rage of open-plan offices, we hand pour zodiac inspired candles that smell like everything you wish you could say… but don’t.

Our scents are anthropological satire in wax form documenting the weird rituals, chaotic personalities and unspoken drama of workplace life. Think high-end fragrance meets HR hazard. Minimalist design, maximalist feelings.

Whether you're lighting one in the supply cupboard mid-breakdown or gifting it to the colleague who definitely stole your idea, our candles are here to help you cope, combust and maybe even laugh.

When HR won’t help, light a match.
