botanical candles · handcrafted with intention

Each candle is a memory, a feeling, a ritual.

A Candera botanical candle with pressed rose petals and dried florals set in natural wax — Hand-poured in small batches · real pressed botanicals

Natural soy wax, real pressed botanicals, and essential oil blends — hand poured in small batches.

Every candle ships with a hand-written intention card.

captured in time

A little ritual, poured by hand.

Candera began at a lavender-lined market stall — Olesia's table of pressed botanicals, warm light, and candles made slowly. Every pour still happens in her hands, in small batches, so each one carries a little of that quiet.
