Top Candle Shops In Hong Kong: Scented Candles, Diffusers & More

Fashila Kanakka — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 22:00:17 +0000

If you’re like us and have a shelf stocked full of scented candles, hop on board. These Hong Kong candle shops and home fragrance stores are wick-ed!

Did you know that our sense of smell is strongly linked to our mood (you know that feeling of walking past a stranger with really good perfume)? That’s one of the many reasons we’re hoarders of scented candles and home diffusers — they instantly lighten up the scene (metaphorically and literally!). That said, shopping for candles can be a tad bit overwhelming with all the endless choices available, so we’ve tried and tested all of the following local and international candle brands in Hong Kong. Call us candle connoisseurs, if you will!

Sassy Tip: Know your candles! Compared to paraffin wax, soy wax and beeswax burn for longer and emit less soot (it’s more eco-friendly!), they also don’t drip as much (keeping your surface clean and tidy) nor release toxins, making it safer to inhale.

The Blomstre – Handcrafted soy wax candles, fragrance sprays and essential oils

Affordable, toxin-free candles locally made by a husband and wife duo. The Blomstre aims to spotlight modern Filipino artisanal heritage and its beautifully packaged Hong Kong Centric Soy Candles make the perfect Hong Kong souvenirs!

The Blomstre, various stockists across Hong Kong, theblomstre.com

The Wax Can – Eccentric scented candles that each come with a Spotify playlist

Looking for an unconventional scent that’s also reminiscent of Hong Kong? The Wax Can has everything from Tuen Mun Ferry Pier to School Picnic In Fall (so nostalgic for Hong Kong-raised kids!) and Iced Lemon Tea. The fun doesn’t stop there — shop its collection of linen sprays and have your room smelling like bubble tea!

The Wax Can, various stockists across Hong Kong, 6318 4902, thewaxcan.com

diptyque – The perfect candle and home fragrance option for gifting or spoiling yourself

Founded in 1961, this luxury French brand has stood the test of time with its range of fragrances, scented candles, home scents and body care. The best part? Its iconic packaging can be reused as a home decor item (we personally love using it as a mini vase!).

diptyque, various locations across Hong Kong, www.diptyqueparis.com

Woodco – Homegrown candle shop with coconut and soy wax candles

Founded by a mother-daughter duo, Woodco’s candles come in three different (but all practical and long-lasting) sizes and we love its compact collection of scents that make shopping here a breeze. Once your calming companion has run out, you can bring in empty candle holders and have the scent of your choice refilled to the brim (how thoughtful is that?)!

Woodco, various stockists across Hong Kong, www.thisiswoodco.com

The Candle Company – Luxurious yet affordable candles and candle refills

The candles here start as low as $50 for its travel-size collection and its glorious four-wick candles are such a steal! Can’t get enough? Get its annual candle subscription that spoils you with a year’s supply of beeswax-scented jar candles (meaning one new scent each month)!

The Candle Company, 11 Lyndhurst Terrace, Central, Hong Kong, 2545 0099, www.candles.hk

BeCandle – Local candle shop also stocking aroma incense and room sprays

Proudly and locally batched in Sai Kung, BeCandle’s small batch scented candles actually fill the room with its scent. We often get lost trying to pick just one to bring home so opt to buy multiple of its travel-size candles (they last longer than you’d expect!).

Sassy Tip: You can subscribe to BeCandle’s refill plan for door-to-door delivery of a whole new batch of candles (any containers welcome).

BeCandle, various stockists across Hong Kong, 6696 9839, www.becandle.com.hk

Carroll&Chan – Eco-friendly candles with a Hong Kong twist

A favourite of ours for both eco-friendly candles and matching reed diffusers, Carroll&Chan is a fantastic local brand to know for all things home fragrance. All of its 100 percent beeswax candles are made by hand in Hong Kong and if that wasn’t enough, the packaging is plastic-free and features original artwork created by local designers!

Carroll&Chan, various stockists across Hong Kong, www.carrollandchan.com

The Hubble Studio – Skin-safe candles that double as a massage oil

Ever heard of skincare candles before? Handmade and hand-poured in Hong Kong, the candles triple as a massage oil, body balm and scented candle. You can scrape the wax and directly apply to your skin or burn it for 30 minutes and cool for a couple of minutes and use it as a massage oil. Do note that it’s not safe to use on the face.

The Hubble Studio, www.thehubblestudio.com

Rituals – A go-to candles and home fragrance store in Hong Kong

From its packaging to its luxurious scents and collections, Rituals just screams opulence but you’ll be surprised to find its affordable price tag! A staple across many Hong Kong homes, shop its range of heavenly scented candles, room sprays and fragrance sticks – all of which are perfect for gifting as well.

Rituals, various locations across Hong Kong, www.rituals.com

Thorn & Burrow – Shop a wide range of candle collections from across the globe

We’d (and we have!) spend an entire afternoon at Thorn & Burrow browsing its extensive range of scented candles sourced from fragrance brands across the globe. After sniffing through its entire collection, we took home the Kin Candle, Eco Candle and Hygge Candle, all of which were loved by anyone that came over (just FYI!).

Thorn & Burrow, 1/F, 30 High Street, Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong, 9840 3886

Thorn & Burrow, 1/F, 22 Yi Chun Street, Sai Kung, New Territories, Hong Kong (inside Live Zero Bulk Foods), 9848 8437, www.thornandburrow.com

Yankee Candle – Shop candle scents like freshly baked chocolate chip cookies!

Yankee Candle is arguably one of the most widely-recognised brands in the world. Who hasn’t liked an aesthetic influencer flat lay on Instagram featuring the candle in all its glory? In addition to candles, there’s also a selection of room sprays, diffusers and car fresheners to get your hands on!

Where To Buy Affordable Hong Kong-Themed Wall Art & Prints

Team Sassy — Mon, 10 Apr 2023 22:00:15 +0000

Look to these affordable Hong Kong-themed wall art pieces and prints to inject a little personality into your space while still sticking to budget.

Show off your love for the city with some Hong Kong-themed art prints and photography! The reality for many of us living here is that we can only afford to rent our living space — which means painting walls (if that!) and adorning the room with smaller personal touches like plants and candles seems as far as we can go in terms of decorating. So we’re looking for wall art, prints and decorative pieces to display on shelves and bookcases. From cityscape photography to intricate illustrations, custom prints and more, here are the best artists and studios to buy affordable Hong Kong wall art.

Available in a range of sizes, the made-to-order prints are printed using gallery-standard Giclée inks on either cotton canvas or German etching paper.

A Look Into Beautiful Hong Kong Homes By The Editors Company

Team Sassy — Thu, 08 Dec 2022 22:00:01 +0000

The Editors Company is more than an online home stylist – it listens, it styles, it transforms and, simply put, it creates your dream home!

Create moments and style effortlessly with The Editors Company. When it comes down to a well-designed home, the team firmly believes a home can create better relationships with loved ones, create precious memories, and that investing in a thoughtfully created home can make your life a little bit better every day.

Have you been searching high and low for that walnut wardrobe or are you stuck on getting that perfect sofa and not quite sure if it matches your other decor? This is where The Editors Company takes away a big weight off our shoulders – with its online home styling service, transforming your living space has never been easier (and more affordable!).

A Blueprint Of The Editors Company’s Design Process

The Editors Company is the brainchild of Aaron Chin and Fion Lee, who not only have prior experience working for high-end clients but also both share a vision to help everyday people who want to come home to a space they love (that’s us!). They believe life starts at home – your home should be your safe space and sanctuary and everyone deserves a home that reflects who they are.

We started The Editor’s Company to bridge the gap for people who might not have the time or skill to decorate their dream homes.

The online home styling service is a one-stop solution that makes it really easy.

Just How This Easy Online Styling Platform Works

It’s easy, it’s fast, it’s affordable and it’s you.

Aaron and Fion are changing lives, one home at a time – and here’s how the magic happens. First, you fill out their style quiz, submit pictures of your space, and have an online consultation with a home stylist. After finalising the design outcome together, your part is done! A recent client, Emily sums it up best in her Instagram review.

The rest falls into the hands of the team at The Editors Company who will find the best fits from their pool of 60+ furniture brands and keep track of orders. Then comes the big reveal and voila, your dream home is all set!

All of this comes with a flat design fee of just $3,500 per room!

“Life Starts At Home” – A Look Into Founder, Aaron’s Home

An ethos of The Editors Company’s is, “Life starts at home”, and founder Aaron Chin attests to that by giving his own home a taste of his own medicine! In fact, Team Sassy were invited into Aaron’s home and marvelled at how effortlessly chic his place looked!

Sometimes we’re put off by how small Hong Kong apartments are but once you let your creative juices flow and are in the expert hands of The Editors Company, there’s no need for hesitation.

The biggest challenge is choosing the right furniture for small spaces… It’s all about practicality and making sure the whole apartment has a seamless flow.

If you’re looking to give your home a new look, take a scroll through The Editors Company’s Instagram for lots of interior design inspo.

Aaron’s one piece of styling advice…

Be yourself. Really think about who you are and how you’d like to live in your home day-to-day.

From there you can plan your layout, define your style, and pick your furniture and decor. And, if you are having trouble, you can always call on The Editors Company!

The Editors Company – Hong Kong House Success Stories

A successful home story not only keeps the homeowners happy, but also the team at The Editors Company, because the team’s passion lies in creating lifelong memories for its clients (our co-founder Maura Thomspon included!).

A Look Into Stephanie’s Natural Scandinavian Home In Tin Hau

The team created a beautiful home with timeless, natural and calming elements to tie all the rooms together for Stephanie’s young family. The wooden elements and indoor plants bring the outside in whilst keeping it comfortable and cosy.

We had a budget in mind and they were able to accommodate our requests, mixing in more affordable pieces with designer items for an aesthetic that we are 100% pleased with. – Stephanie

Jessy’s Modern Kowloon Tong Apartment Is One For The Books

Modern meets elegance, with touches of fun patterns and shapes! The light grey curved sofa may steal your first glance but the subtle decoration pieces, with touches of brass and muted tones, bring it all together. And the shelves full of books? Dreamy!

From the design of layout to the selection of furniture and the follow up suggestions on the decor pieces, I loved their artistic taste and was amazed by their ability of grasping what a client wanted and exceeding their expectations. – Jessy
