Have you ever wanted to bring the smells of your favorite video game worlds into your home? Picture exploring lush forests, drifting through starry skies, or even wandering ancient kingdoms—all through the scent of a candle. Our soy wax candles are inspired by some of the most magical video game worlds, making it feel like you’re right there in the adventure.
Why Video Game Worlds Inspire Our Candles
Video games can create some incredibly detailed and exciting worlds. These places often come to life through amazing stories, music, and, would you believe, even the smells that your imagination can concoct. Our goal is to capture these imagined scents in our candles. When you light one, you’re not just brightening up a room. You’re bringing the atmosphere of a beloved game closer to you!
The Magic of Soy Wax
Our candles are made from soy wax because it’s a natural and renewable resource. Unlike regular candles that might use paraffin wax, soy wax burns cleaner and lasts longer. Plus, it holds scent really well, making it perfect for bringing video game worlds to life through fragrances.

How We Choose the Scents
Choosing the right scents to match with each video game world is a fun yet challenging task. We imagine what it would be like to walk through these places. What flowers would you smell? What kind of air surrounds you—fresh and crispy or warm and muggy?
Mixing and Matching
For example, for Hyrule, we might mix fresh grass, wildflowers, and a hint of earthy undertones. For a place like Rapture, the scent would lean more towards salty sea air mixed with more industrial smells like metal and old wood.
Testing the Scents
Before deciding on the final scent, we do several testing rounds. We light the candles and imagine ourselves walking through the game world. Do the scents match up with our expectations? If yes, we proceed. If no, we head back to the drawing board.
