Core Line
Jar Candles, Made Under Your Brand
The format most fragrance brands are built on. Pick a vessel, pick a wax, pick a scent — we pour, label and box it as yours. From 500 pcs per scent, trial runs from 100.
From 500 pcs per Scent
Trial runs start at 100 pcs on stock formats — test one SKU before betting a season on it.
Your Label, Not Ours
Label, box, vessel and scent built to your spec — not a stock candle with your sticker on it.
Sample Before You Commit
Production is scheduled only after you have held the physical sample and signed it off.
Build Your Jar Candle
Four decisions shape a jar candle. Tell us where you land on each and we can quote it same-day.
Vessel
Stock glass in four sizes (210-430 ml) and ceramic in three (240-375 ml) — or a custom mould from 1,000 pcs.
Wax
Ten options — soy, coconut, sunflower, rapeseed, rice bran, snowflake, palm, gel, beeswax and blends. We will tell you which earns its cost for your market.
Wick
Cotton or wood, no surcharge either way — wood crackles and suits rustic positioning, cotton is the safe default.
Scent
30 IFRA-compliant stock fragrances, or a custom match to a scent you specify — custom runs at 500 pcs per scent.
Lid
Wood, bamboo, metal or glass — stamped, laser-marked or silk-screened with your logo from 500 pcs.
Label & packaging
Seven label finishes and full box options, with free in-house design service.

Not sure which vessel and wax to pick?
Send us the retail price you are aiming for and where it will be sold — we will tell you which combination hits that cost, and which will not.
A Minimum Built for First Orders
Our minimum is 500 pcs per scent, and trial runs start at 100 pcs on stock formats — most factories will not open the line under 1,000. You can test a market with one SKU before committing a season's budget to it.
Made to Your Spec, Not From a Catalogue
Label, box, vessel and scent are all built to your artwork and brief — not a stock candle with your sticker on it. What reaches the shelf reads as your product, priced like yours, not like a reseller's. Design work is done in-house, free.
You Sign Off Before We Commit Anything
A physical sample ships to you before production is scheduled; changes happen at the sample stage, not after 500 units are poured. Your downside on a first order is one sample round, quoted before we make it — never a full run.
Why Jar Candles Carry a Range
The three things retail buyers check first, and where we stand on each.
A vessel buyers keep
Glass and ceramic jars get reused — your brand stays on the shelf after the burn. Custom moulds from 1,000 pcs make the vessel itself the differentiator.
Wax matched to market
Soy and coconut carry the natural story most Western retail wants; gel opens layered looks. Ten waxes on one line means the choice is positioning, not compromise.
Scent that repeats
The 30-scent library is shared across every product line — a jar candle scent that sells can extend to diffusers and sprays without re-sampling.
Jar Candles We Have Made
Work that has come off our own lines — photographed here, not borrowed from a catalogue.
A Jar Candle Is Easy to Buy and Hard to Get Right
Wax shrinks as it cools, frosts if the pour temperature drifts, and drowns the wick if the fragrance load is off. None of that shows up in a photo — it shows up in the second order, or the lack of one. It is why nothing ships before you have burned the sample yourself.
- Pour temperature and cure time controlled per wax type on all seven lines
- Burn-tested before packing — wick, throw and glass temperature
- Sample first, always: quoted with your request, before anything is made
Straight from buyers we supply
Planning events is stressful, but their team made it easy. The candles transformed our venue and arrived ahead of schedule.
Our boutique saw an immediate uptick in sales after adding their seasonal scents. The customization options helped us build a cohesive brand.

A word from Smile
“Most factories will tell you to come back when you're ready for a thousand pieces. We start at 500 per scent — and take trial runs from 100 — because the brands worth working with are usually the ones still finding their footing. If your first run is smaller than that, tell me anyway — I'd rather look at it and give you a straight answer than turn you away at the door.”
What Buyers Ask About Jar Candles
Vessels, wax and minimums — the questions that decide a first order.
What is the minimum for one scent?
Our standard MOQ is 500 pcs per scent — three scents means 1,500 pcs total. Trial runs start at 100 pcs on stock formats.
Which vessel sizes are in stock?
Glass in four sizes — 210 ml/160 g, 320 ml/210 g, 415 ml/280 g and 430 ml/300 g. Ceramic in three — 240 ml, 290 ml and 375 ml. Anything else is a custom mould from 1,000 pcs.
How do I choose between the ten waxes?
By market, not by price list. Tell us where it sells and the retail price — soy is the safe core, coconut reads premium, beeswax owns the natural niche. We will shortlist two and sample both.
Can you match a scent from another brand?
We can work to a reference — a custom match runs at 500 pcs per scent with a 10-15 day sampling round, against our 30 stock fragrances which sample in 7-10 days.
Can the jar carry my logo directly?
Yes — silk-screen, hot-stamp, laser or engraving on the vessel, and stamping or laser on wood and metal lids. From 500 pcs.
What does a full custom jar cost to set up?
A custom-moulded vessel carries a $70-150 mould fee and starts at 1,000 pcs — the fee is refunded once your cumulative orders pass 3,000 sets. Standard vessels carry no setup cost.
Start With One Jar Candle
One vessel, one wax, one scent — from 500 pcs, or a 100-pc trial to test the market. Send the brief and you will get a quote with lead time.
