At Aroma On The Rocks, each candle tells a story, blending craftsmanship, sustainability, and inspiration from beloved mocktails. Here’s a glimpse into the process that brings our cocktail-inspired candles to life:

1. Concept & Inspiration

Every candle begins with a spark of creativity. Our team draws inspiration from iconic cocktail flavors and aesthetics, ensuring each candle mirrors the essence of a drink like a margarita, martini, or champagne. The goal? To evoke an atmosphere of relaxation and celebration in every burn.

2. Selecting Premium Materials

We are committed to quality and sustainability. Each candle is made with 100% soy wax, a cleaner-burning, eco-friendly alternative to paraffin. Our premium fragrance oils are carefully curated to provide authentic, vibrant scents, while cotton wicks ensure an even and consistent burn.

3. Crafting the Perfect Glassware

Unlike traditional jar candles, our products are poured into barware-inspired glasses. These reusable vessels are as functional as they are beautiful, designed to enhance your decor and be repurposed long after the candle burns out — perfect for drinks, storage, or as chic decor accents.

4. Hand-Pouring with Care

Each candle is meticulously hand-poured in small batches to maintain the highest quality. This hands-on approach ensures the wax is perfectly blended and poured, creating a smooth finish and an even burn.

5. The Finishing Touches

Once poured, the candles are inspected for quality, cleaned, and packaged with care. Our designs include thoughtful details, like mocktail recipes or tips for repurposing the glassware, ensuring the experience extends beyond the burn.

6. The Journey to Your Home

From our studio to your space, our candles are crafted to transform your environment into a haven of relaxation and joy. With every light, you’re not just burning a candle — you’re embracing a lifestyle that values quality, sustainability, and the art of unwinding.
