About SMELI

SMELI creates sculptural candles designed to be lived with.

Each piece is made with an emphasis on form, balance, and burn—where the object itself matters as much as the experience of lighting it. From oversized vessels to hand-finished details, every piece is developed with attention to how it looks, burns, and performs over time.

Our approach is simple: well-made candles, thoughtful materials, and designs that feel at home in a range of interiors—whether lit or not.

Designed with Prescence

SMELI candles are created at a larger scale and finished by hand, giving each piece a distinct visual identity. Elements like sculpted wax details are incorporated directly into the candle, becoming part of the burn rather than an afterthought.

The result is a candle that functions as both fragrance and object.

Crafted to Burn Well

We focus on construction as much as appearance. Multi-wick formats, carefully tested wax blends, and measured fragrance levels are chosen to deliver an even burn and consistent scent distribution.

Each candle is poured in small batches and finished by hand to ensure quality and consistency.

Made to Be Gifted- or Kept

SMELI candles are designed for homes, special occasions, and considered gifting. They’re meant to be displayed, used, and enjoyed over time—without feeling disposable or overly delicate.
