From Kitchen Creations to Candlelight Moments

Candela on Holiday Story

With a deep-rooted passion for cooking and a zest for travel, our founder swapped the apron for a pouring pot—creating something just as comforting. Every candle at Candela on Holiday is handcrafted in Sydney, infused with gourmet-inspired aromas and soulful storytelling. These aren’t just candles—they’re scented memories. A little wanderlust. A little warmth. A lot of heart.

Who We Are

We are a woman-led brand crafting luxury candles inspired by real cities and personal journeys. Each scent tells a story, designed to transport you through fragrance.

Our Products

Our candles are hand-poured using premium soy wax and high-quality fragrances, each with three evolving scent layers for a rich, sensory experience.

How We Work

Every candle begins with a memory from a city — then we design, pour, and package it with care in small, intentional batches.
