Think about stepping into a boutique hotel…before you even take in the marble countertops or the plush velvet seating, you smell it—that unmistakable blend of amber, cedarwood, and something just a little mysterious. It lingers in your memory long after you leave, and suddenly, that scent is the epitome of luxury in your mind.

At Havilah & Co., we create luxury clean candles that do just that—each scent designed to be an experience, an emotion, a destination. We’ll give you tips on how to make your home feel like a luxury boutique hotel. 

The Signature Collection: Scents That Tell Stories

Just like a well-designed room, every Havilah & Co. candle has its own personality. Whether you want your home to feel like a coastal retreat, or a sunlit orchard, we have a scent to match.

Desert Bloom & Saffron → Mysterious notes of jasmine, saffron, and earthy moss. Feels like: A Moroccan riad at sunset, warm desert winds, the perfect balance of spice and softness.

Citrus Sunrise & Lemon → Bright lemon, coffee flower, and amber. Feels like: A Mediterranean morning, fresh citrus groves, the first sip of a zesty spritz on a sunlit terrace.

Forever Summer & Bergamot → Floral bergamot, Earl Grey tea, and neroli. Feels like: A slow afternoon in Calabria, fields of wildflowers, handwritten love letters sealed with wax.

Sea Salt & Santal → Crisp marine air, fresh apple, and warm sandalwood. Feels like: A seaside escape at golden hour, waves rolling in, the perfect beach vacation.

These aren’t just candles...they’re destinations in a jar.

Scent Styling: The Art of Fragrance Layering

If you’ve ever walked into a home that just smelled expensive, chances are, they weren’t burning just one candle—they were layering scents like an interior design pro.

Here’s how you can master the art of scent layering, this will give your guests an entire experience just being in your home. 

Entryway → First Impressions Matter

  • Best Pick: Forever Summer & Bergamot

  • Why? Bright citrus with floral Earl Grey tea creates an elevated fragrance that gives "expensive perfume” vibes once guests come into your home.  

Kitchen → You Spend the Most Time Here 

  • Best Pick: Citrus Sunrise & Lemon

  • Why? Nothing says refreshing like a burst of Sicilian lemon and delicate jasmine. Light it to clear those after-dinner smells. Thank us later.

Bedroom → Soft, Sensual, & Dreamy

  • Best Pick: Desert Bloom & Saffron

  • Why? The perfect blend of feminine warmth and intriguing spice for a scent that lingers long after the lights go out ;) 

Bathroom → Spa-Like Serenity

  • Best Pick: Sea Salt & Santal

  • Why? The fresh marine air + warm woods feel inviting but not overpowering. Like stepping into a sparkling clean day spa by the ocean.

Candles That Give Back: A Luxury That Lasts Beyond Your Home

Here’s something you won’t find in just any luxury candle: 50% of our profits go directly to supporting entrepreneurs around the world.

Yes, half.

Because at Havilah & Co., luxury isn’t just about how something looks, feels, or smells—it’s about how it makes a difference.

When you light a candle from us, you’re not just elevating your home. You’re empowering a woman in Central America to build her business, supporting sustainable farming practices, and making a lasting impact on lives around the world.

That’s luxury with intention.
