Have you ever wondered how your beloved Imperial Candle was made? We’re giving you a behind-the-scenes, insider scoop on our process and how we transform natural soy wax and fine fragrance oils into a one of a kind scented candle experience.

Why Soy wax?

We place a high value on the health of our customers, along with the impact we have on the environment. This is why we chose to use natural soy wax as it burns cleaner and longer than traditional Paraffin wax. Many people don’t know that Paraffin wax derives from petroleum, yuck!

The wicks.

Standard candles usually contain only 1 wick, which often results in an effect we call tunnelling. Our handmade scented candles have instead been designed with 2 cotton wicks, allowing the candle to burn better, all the way around.

The process.

Candle making is definitely not rocket science, but it isn’t so simple either. Our incredible team have perfected the craft and handmake every Imperial Candle right out of our small factory in the UK using lots of love and care.

We start off by melting our signature wax shavings in a traditional wax tank (funny note: plain wax also has a lovely fragrance of its own). After the wax has completely melted, our team will measure out the perfect amount and combine it with the fine fragrance oil it needs.

The wax will then be poured in glass jars which contain the cotton wicks and surprise jewel inside. The highly scented candles will then be left to cure overnight to be labelled by hand in the morning.

Did we mention that our products are also vegan friendly and 100% cruelty free?

The surprise.

We like the idea of giving back to our customers and offering an exciting experience they can share with their family and friends. That’s why you’ll discover a hidden surprise jewel made from either 925 Sterling Silver or Yellow/White Gold inside all of our handmade goodies.

It’s really our love for fragrance that keeps us innovating and if you enjoy a flameless experience, we also have a delightful selection of handmade soy wax melts. Not only that but you can also have an out of this world bath-time with our collection of bath bombs, each containing a jewellery surprise.

We’re truly passionate about what we do and hope you enjoyed this little peek into how we create scented magic for you to fall in love with.

Dragons, a crown and a throne. Three symbols of power and beauty.

Like many others, our team have a slight obsession with the world of ‘Game of Thrones’ and spent many hours dreaming up an incredible product inspired by one of the most iconic locations in the GoT franchise.

Piles of sketches and cramped hands later, our exclusive new candle ‘Bay of Dragons’ was born. Housed in a luxurious black jar, the team give a nod to the leader of the pack, Drogon with Viserion and Rhaegal circling around a gorgeous red and silver label.

Wishing to evoke the essence of the ocean, our team carefully selected a signature fragrance blending delicate blossoms and musk to make you feel like royalty in your own home.

Ready to become the Queen of Dragons? We’ve given you the special chance to look stylish while ascending the throne by winning an Officially Licensed ‘Game of Thrones’ necklace inside your candle.   

**Lucky winners will reveal a Golden Ticket wrapped along with their jewel.**

1. Tell us a bit about yourself 😎

Hey, my name’s Amy and I joined Imperial Candles in September 2016. I’m currently a Pink Diamond Ambassador and I was the first rep to achieve this status, having sold in excess of £90,000 worth of products.

2. How did your journey start with Imperial Candles? 🌈

My motivation and why I became an Imperial Ambassador is my son, Bradley. He hadn’t long relapsed with a rare form of Cancer which has left me unable to work a normal day-to-day job, as I’m at hospital at least 3 times a week with him.

3. How has becoming an Ambassador helped you? 💎

Being an Imperial Ambassador has helped me get by financially and has also enabled me to make many special memories with my family (including a recent trip to Lapland).

In my spare time, I work tirelessly to raise funds for charities close to my heart including Chestnut Tree House, Clic and many other children’s cancer charities. In October, I abseiled 190 feet down the tower of Arundel Castle, raising nearly £400 for Chestnut Tree House. I often donate a proportion of my commissions to charity; for example, during September which was Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

5. What are your favourite Imperial Candles product? 💜

My top 3 favourite products are Black Coconut Classic Candle, Fairy Dust Bath Bomb and Melty Box because I like the variety.
