Your Candle Story

🕯️

✨ Every Candle Has a Story

At OrlyVibe, we believe a candle is more than fragrance, it’s emotion, memory, and intention captured in light.

Each candle we make is handcrafted with care in Canada, poured slowly in small batches to preserve quality and purpose.

Our process blends traditional craftsmanship with modern aromatherapy research, so every scent is designed not just to smell beautiful, but to truly make you feel something.

🌿 The Science Behind the Scents

Each OrlyVibe blend is backed by aromatherapy principles:


Calm / Sleep Candle

Lavender, Clary Sage, Cedarwood, and Vanilla, a spa-like aroma that promotes rest and serenity.

Anxiety Relief Candle

Bergamot, Eucalyptus, Clary Sage, and Cedarwood, a soothing balance that relieves stress without heaviness.

Focus Candle

Rosemary, Peppermint, Clary Sage, and Cedarwood, sharpen your concentration and mental clarity.

Energy Candle

Sweet Orange, Grapefruit, Lemon, and Peppermint, a bright, joyful blend that lifts your mood and motivation.

Romance Candle

Vanilla, Rose, and Cedarwood, a warm, comforting fragrance designed to awaken intimacy and connection.

Each scent is developed with intention, guided by studies showing how natural oils influence the nervous system and emotional state.
