A Moment to Light, A Month to Celebrate
In honour of World Candle Month, we explore the ritual of scent and flame.
The Ritual of the Flame
This September, we pause to honour the simple yet transformative act of lighting a candle. More than just fragrance or décor, a candle is a symbol of ritual: the gentle spark that turns an ordinary moment into one of reflection, calm, or connection.
Across the world, candles are lit for many reasons — rituals of self-care, meditation, romance, or simply creating a welcoming space at home. World Candle Month reminds us of the universal comfort that fragrance and flame bring, no matter where or how you celebrate.
The Craft Behind a LUMIRA Candle
Every LUMIRA candle is hand-poured in small batches in Sydney, Australia. We use a sustainably sourced soy coconut wax blend, cotton wicks, and fine fragrance oils, each carefully selected for its purity, longevity, and throw.
Our candles are housed in elegant, recyclable glass vessels — designed to be as timeless and enduring as the fragrance they hold. This dedication to craft reflects our belief that true luxury lies in thoughtful, sustainable design.
Scent as Ritual, Not Routine
To us, a candle is more than a fragrance — it’s a sensory companion to daily life. Light one in the morning to set an intention, or in the evening to mark the transition into calm. Candles create an atmosphere that grounds, inspires, and transforms.
By reframing scent as ritual, we invite you to slow down and savour the beauty of stillness, flame, and fragrance.
