Nothing beats ending a stressful day by turning off your bedroom lights and turning on a beloved scented candle and just letting the aroma engulf your senses. Relaxing, right?
Scented candles have always been a tita or tita-in-the-making favorite, and it’s great to know that many of our local crafters have embraced the art of candle making. Here’s a list of some of g.spot’s local favorites when it comes to these beautiful, aromatic, and therapeutic artisanal candles.
Elemento
Elemento was launched in the summer of 2019 out of the owner’s love for fragrances, art, and design. They’re known in the candle community to put out rather unconventional scents that pique one’s interest – from floral and berry medleys to the earthy, sweet aromas of old basilicas.
Elemento recently launched their newest candle collection, so you better check out the new fragrances they’ve put out!

Krafted Kollection
Krafted Kollection started as a candle-making hobby and has now blown up into an income-generating pastime during the pandemic. They boast of having a wonderful connection with their customers, giving them as much customization freedom as possible when one places an order. For them, it gives it a more meaningful touch when both ideas of the maker and the buyer become in sync.
Krafted Kollection will be introducing their premium line of candles this June, and it will be available in large vessels with a 5% offer for the entire month. They also offer free gift boxes for orders above 10 pieces.

Noona’s Crafts
From the owner’s love for the South Korean boy band, BTS, birthed Noona’s Crafts, a candle store that puts the essence of BTS’s music and personality into a beautifully crafted scented candle, with the hope that it will give comfort to her customers as much as BTS has given comfort in her life.
Come June, Noona’s Crafts is hosting a stay-at-home cupsleeve event for BTS’ 8th anniversary with optional add-ons such as candles or embroidered shirts.

Luscent
Luscent is the brainchild of a lawyer, a physician, and a nurse, and they’ve concocted a line of scented candles that are therapeutic, clean, and safe for both the candlemakers and consumers.
They use a blend of coconut and soy wax, which are both plant-based, sustainable, and slow-burning, while their oils come from manufacturers that are committed to developing fragrances that are free from harmful chemicals.
Right now, Luscent is on the verge of developing a new line of scents and will be launching it very soon!

Moonshine Apothecary
The Moonshine Apothecary is the best store to feed your dark whimsy. There’s an air of comforting mystery with each piece they make.
The apothecary offers an experience from the moment you receive its creations until the final blow of flame. Each detail has been carefully curated to fit the celestial vision of the brand. They aim to deliver a spark of magic in the nauseating mundane in every candle they put out in the world.
Check out their apothecary from time to time and be enchanted by their new line of products this June.
