Bál Candle Co. began with one simple idea… how awesome would it be to make a Viking candle?

Graphic design is my day job but I taught myself candle-making as a hobby in 2020, which quickly grew into a passion for making and sharing hand-blended fragrances with stories. ‘Bál’ is an Old Norse word for ‘fire’, and the life-long love of Norse mythology, folklore, magic and the wilderness as well as a fascination for scent’s connection with memory is a huge inspiration for the concepts behind the fragrances.

Our candles are designed and hand-made by us in our tiny home studio in Adelaide, and feature crackling FSC-certified wooden wicks and 100% natural soy and coconut wax. I’m a hopeless perfectionist so our candles are made with only the best components and premium fragrance oils. Our fragrance blends are also proudly one of a kind; each scent is unique and won’t be found anywhere else.

We want to whisk you away to a faraway land, a serene walk in nature or a mystical moment in time – we’re all about escapism and bringing myth, magic and memories into your home with our bespoke fragrances. Each scent has a story and we hope you love them as much as we do.
