Reliably the best quality, best smelling, loooong lasting (my last year’s candle just finished burning recently!), and Sam is also just an incredible human being. 🕯️ also shih-tzu approved 🐶
New packaging looks great. I found reading some of the text on certain panels was challenging due to font size and background color.
Thank you for your 5 star review!
Once we use up all of the rainbow packaging we'll be switching over to white boxes with black text to increase readability. I appreciate your comment and I'm happy we're on the right track to make the packaging more accessible 🙏

This was a wonderful accent to enhance a social gathering.
Humankind was very communicative with me to ensure the order had arrived. The fragrances were lovely—exactly as described and what I'd hoped for. Highly recommended as a way to add another dimension to your space.

Tomato and Arugula Candle Jordan
Husband went from "why do we need a tomato canlde" to ".... can we get more tomato candles 💚 " Quality, scent, and design (the two colors) were exceptional. Can't rate this highly enough!

Lemon Tart and Earl Grey Candle Oshynne
I've only had this candle for about two weeks, and I cannot stop lighting it! I am already halfway through it. It makes the whole house smell like baked goods, which makes it unfortunate that I cannot eat it. Any time someone walks in while it has been lit, they always ask if something is being baked. I normally am not a fan of sweet scents, but this candle has a very gentle sweetness to it that isn't overwhelming, but rather addicting. It is the candle equivalent of eating an entire package of cookies!
refers to the idea of having three substantial and nutritious meals each day, typically breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet for maintaining health and well-being.

Each Humankind candle has 2 scents per candle — designed to evolve as it burns. We blend craftsmanship and concept, creating collectible art objects that feel as good as they look.
Yes — we use coconut-soy wax, FSC-certified wicks, and paraben, paraffin, and phthalate-free fragrances. Every candle is poured in small batches in Toronto.
Our scents are balanced. Our dual-scent system is designed for evolution — you’ll experience a natural progression rather than a flat or overpowering fragrance.
Each 12oz candle burns for 50~ hours with a smooth, even melt (if burned responsibly). We test every batch for performance and clean combustion, ensuring minimal soot and zero tunneling.
Absolutely. Each candle with a story card — ready to impress. We also offer optional silk gift wrap for a polished gifting experience.
We’ve got you — our 30-Day Happiness Guarantee means you can buy with confidence.
If your candle isn’t what you hoped for, we’ll replace or refund it, no questions asked.
Every Humankind scent is crafted with balance in mind; no harsh florals, no overpowering throw, just evolving layers that stay soft and sophisticated.
It’s luxury you can trust.
