If you haven't yet put up your Christmas tree—that makes one of us! Christmas is our favourite holiday at Ebony and Ivory Candle Co. And it's not simply because of the aesthetic of the Canadian winter… the cozy blankets, lit fireplaces, the aroma of fresh baking, and charming seasonal candles... What's not to love?
You know how you can catch a whiff of a perfume, drink, or candle, and it brings up a long-forgotten memory? That's why selecting the perfect scent is so important for the holidays that are near and dear to you. If you're anything like me, you write down quotes you don't want to forget or take tons of photos and videos to look back on later. But all of these miss out on one of our primary senses: smell. The right candle burned over the holiday festivities can bring back your feelings stronger than any photo can.
That's where we come in. Ebony & Ivory Candle Co. is more than just a Canadian candle business. We devote (probably too much) time mixing, adjusting, pouring, and burning our soy candles until we've found the perfect blend of notes to put out to the public. If it isn't perfect, you'll never hear about it.
We recently released most of our Christmas line of soy candles. We've still got a few up our sleeves that we will be releasing over the next few weeks, so keep checking in! In case you somehow haven't seen our Christmas candles yet:
Noel: Our most popular Christmas soy candle by far! If you love walking through the forest and taking in the deep, woodsy aroma, this one's for you. A combination of cedar, fir and warm spice will turn your home into a welcoming, festive space. Noel has been featured in the NY Times, Glamour, and Us Weekly.
Gingerbread: Our Gingerbread soy candle brings holiday cheer to any room. Notes of cinnamon and cardamom give the space a sense of warmth and comfort, while crystallized ginger and sugar bring a sweetness like no other. With this candle, you don't need to bake to get the smell you desire—just light it up!
Peppermint Hot Chocolate: Remember when you'd spent hours playing in the snow, until your snow pants were soaked through and you couldn't feel your fingers through the gloves? The feeling of coming inside and cozied up in your pajamas, piled on the blankets, and drink some warm hot chocolate is what we tried to capture in this Peppermint Hot Chocolate candle.
Cotton Headed Ninny Muggins: If Santa had a cookie jar enchanted to be stocked with fresh and flakey cookies, this is what that jar would smell like. Frosted cookies, wafting buttery steam into the air…. Cotton Headed Ninny Muggins will have you drooling in seconds.
Christmas Vacation: Calling all eggnog lovers! Christmas Vacation was aptly named, as we believe no Christmas vacation is perfect without a glass of eggnog. Clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and rum combine to make the most delicate aroma you could dream of.
To Be Released: We have two luxury wood wick candles releasing soon! If you're into shortbread and roasted chestnuts, these candles are totally up your alley!
Our soy candles are 100% made in Canada with ethically sourced materials. Check out our soy candle collection or spot our products at one of our locations in Canada!
Have a scent-sational holiday!
Xoxo,
Ebony & Ivory Candle Co.
