At Wick of Hope, we’ve always believed that fragrance tells a story. It’s more than a nice aroma in the air. It's the feeling of a moment, the memory of a season, the comfort of being at home.
This fall, we’d love to take you behind the scenes and show you how candle scents are made, the way notes come together, the clean ingredients we choose, and the purpose woven into every candle we make.
How Fragrances Are Built
Think of a fragrance like a symphony. Each part plays its role, and when the notes come together, harmony happens. That’s exactly how our candles are designed; in three layers. Our audience often wonders, how are candle scents made?
The answer begins here:
(1) Top Notes
These are the first to greet you when the flame is lit; light, bright, and uplifting.
For example, in our Pumpkin spice candle scent, it’s the nutmeg or ginger you notice right away, giving the blend its first burst of energy.
(2) Middle Notes
Once the top notes fade, the heart of the fragrance takes over. These are warmer and more balanced; cinnamon, clove, or pumpkin spice itself.
For example, in our Pumpkin spice candle scent, cinnamon takes center stage.
(3) Base Notes
Finally, the deepest notes linger long after the flame goes out. These are grounding, rich, and memorable.
Vanilla forms the foundation of Pumpkin spice candle scent.
This layering is what makes fragrance come alive. Each Wick of Hope candle is built this way; carefully balanced to tell a story from the very first spark to the final glow.
Non-toxic Fall Candle Scents Inspirations
Fall has always been a season defined by fragrance. It’s in the warmth of spiced drinks, the sweetness of baked treats, and the crisp air of harvest evenings. When we created our Cozy Comforts Collection, we thought about those rituals and traditions that people love to return to every year.
-
Pumpkin Spice: Spiced pumpkin, nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon all wrapped together. It’s the cozy essence of crisp evenings, family gatherings, and golden light.
-
Apple: Fresh, slightly sweet, and paired with warming spices. It feels like apple orchards, pies cooling on the counter, and brisk autumn mornings.
-
Coffee: Coffee candle fragrance is rich, smooth, and grounding. Perfect for anyone who loves the aroma of a fresh brew that mixes comfort and energy in every sip.
These non-toxic fall candles weren’t chosen by chance. They’re the aromas that mark the rhythm of fall; familiar, comforting, and always welcome.
The Wick of Hope Difference
We realized something important: not all candles are made with your well-being in mind. Many mass-produced candles use paraffin wax or synthetic fragrance blends, leaving behind unwanted byproducts in your home.
We wanted to do better. That’s why every Wick of Hope candle is made with coconut soy wax, wooden wicks, and fragrance oils carefully tested to be free from phthalates and toxins. For us, luxury should never come at the cost of safety.
The result is a candle you can trust; one that feels indulgent, cozy, and uplifting, while staying clean for you and your loved ones. Wick of Hope proudly offers clean candles in Canada and the USA, so wherever you are, you can enjoy fragrance with peace of mind.

Honesty in the Process
At Wick of Hope, honesty guides every stage of candle-making. What goes into the jar matters just as much as the fragrance that fills your home.
Step 1: Wax
We begin with coconut soy wax, a clean-burning base that avoids the heavy byproducts of paraffin.
Step 2: Wick
Our wooden wicks are sourced for a natural, even burn that creates a gentle crackle and cozy glow.
Step 3: Fragrance
Every fragrance oil is carefully tested to meet strict safety standards, ensuring it is free from phthalates and unnecessary additives.
Step 4: Pouring
Candles are hand-poured in small batches, giving us full control over quality and consistency.
Step 5: Packaging
Labels and packaging are kept minimal, recyclable, and free from unnecessary plastics or coatings.
Each candle is made to be safe for your home, sustainable for the planet, and beautifully crafted for everyday comfort.
Beyond Fragrance: Purpose in Every Candle
Every Wick of Hope candle carries a purpose beyond your home. Through our Empower Change initiative, each purchase contributes to causes that matter, extending hope into communities that need it most.
And beyond wellness and purpose, we never forget what a candle brings into your home. Each fragrance is designed to create an atmosphere that feels warm, inviting, and uplifting; the kind of environment that makes everyday life feel special.
A Wick of Hope candle doesn’t just smell good; it does good.
