TEMPLE Candles – Singapore-Inspired Home Scents

Created by award-winning entrepreneur and candle-obsessed interior designer Kendall Hamill, TEMPLE Candles is a luxury home fragrance brand inspired by, and made in, Singapore. Capturing the essence of the tropics, TEMPLE home fragrances take their cues from Singapore’s glamorous garden city setting and journeys across the Far East. Working with professionally trained perfumers, Kendall has created a range of Oriental-botanic inspired scents designed to fill the home with beautiful fragrance while lifting the mood of the space.

The range includes candles, diffusers, hand and body products, along with a carefully selected gifting suite that makes sending something thoughtful wonderfully easy. TEMPLE’s custom-made faceted glass candle and diffuser vessels are also designed as elegant pieces of home décor, adding a touch of glamour while sitting easily within different interior styles.

The brand has also collaborated with Firmenich, the fragrance house behind fine fragrances for brands such as Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani and Issey Miyake, to create scents that pay homage to tropical surroundings and the escapism of island living.

Since 2017, TEMPLE Candles has been selected by Raffles Hotel Singapore to create the hotel’s bespoke Frangipani range of diffusers, room sprays and Eau de Toilette, sold exclusively at The Raffles Hotel Boutique.

Each TEMPLE gift comes packaged in the brand’s signature monochrome box, finished with a handmade Eternal Knot tassel. The charm symbolises good luck, prosperity and an auspicious connection between two souls, giving every gift a little more meaning before it is even opened.

Artisan of Sense – Botanical Candles With Intention

Artisan of Sense creates scented soy candles for people who like their home fragrance to feel personal. The Singapore brand has a wide range of classic candles, with scents grouped by mood and fragrance family, making it easy to choose something for the room, the occasion or the feeling you want to create.

The candle range moves from bright citrus and fruity blends to floral, green, herbal, woody, spicy and softer musky notes. Think Bergamot & Clove for something warm and grounded, Lavender, Eucalyptus & Sage for slower evenings, or Grapefruit, Orange & Tangerine when the room needs a fresher lift.

The classic candles come in sleek recycled glass jars, while the brand also offers tin candles, glass domes, gift sets, mists, diffusers and essential oil blends for anyone who wants to build a fuller scent ritual at home. With prices starting from $30, Artisan of Sense is a lovely option for thoughtful gifting, easy mood-setting and everyday home fragrance that still feels indulgent and luxurious.

Jo Malone – Elegant Candles For Gifting

Jo Malone London has long been a favourite for beautifully packaged candles that feel instantly giftable. The clean glass jars, cream labels and signature black ribbon make them easy to love, especially for anyone who likes their home fragrance to look as considered as it smells.
The scents are classic Jo Malone, with notes that range from fresh citrus and English florals to warmer, woodier blends. Lime Basil & Mandarin is a crisp, uplifting choice, while Peony & Blush Suede feels softer and more romantic. For evenings, the richer scents bring a cosy finish to the room without feeling too heavy.
These are the candles to reach for when you want a safe but luxurious gift, or a scent that makes everyday spaces feel a little more dressed up.

HYSSES – Beeswax Candles with Essential Oils

HYSSES brings its aromatherapy-led approach into the candle space with a range of hand-poured beeswax candles scented with essential oils. The collection is built around softer, more nature-led fragrance rather than synthetic perfume-style scents, making it a good fit for those who want their home fragrance to feel calm and wellness-focused.

The current candle range includes blends such as Vanilla Sandalwood, Lavender, Rose Geranium, Ginger Lemongrass, Plum Yuzu, Lemongrass and Palmarosa Jasmine, with scent families moving across citrus, floral, herbal, woody and spicy notes. Many of the candles are also grouped around concerns such as stress, anxiety, insomnia, focus and sinus relief, which keeps the brand’s wellness angle clear without making the experience feel clinical.

HYSSES also offers candle warmers and RevivNew beeswax formats, handy for anyone who prefers a flameless fragrance option or wants to extend the scent ritual beyond a standard candle jar. Pair one with a room spray from the brand’s home scent range for a quick refresh before guests arrive, or light a beeswax candle when the day needs a slower finish.

Innerfyre Co – Affirmation Candles with Heart

Innerfyre Co brings a more personal, feel-good angle to candle gifting. The Singapore brand is known for essential oil candles, affirmation candles and smaller formats that work well for birthdays, care packages or a little treat for yourself.

The scents are designed to feel comforting and easy to use, with blends that suit winding down, resetting or adding a calmer mood to the room. The affirmation candles also give the brand a more thoughtful gifting angle, especially when you want something more meaningful than a standard scented candle.

For affordable luxury with heart, Innerfyre Co makes a sweet addition to this list.

Maison 21G – Custom Candles To Pair

Maison 21G is made for people who like their scents a little more personal. The Singapore-founded fragrance house is best known for custom perfumes, but its candle range brings the same playful approach into the home.

The brand’s half-moon candles are especially clever. You can burn one scent on its own, or pair two together to create a more layered fragrance for the room. It is a fun idea for anyone who enjoys experimenting with scent, and it also makes the candle feel more interactive than your usual single-jar buy.

Maison 21G’s candles work well as gifts too, especially for fragrance lovers who already have the usual classics and want something with a little more personality.
