Everything you need to know about Scent Nation's personalised, pet-safe soy candles.

What makes Scent Nation candles a premium choice for home fragrance?

Scent Nation candles are hand-poured in NSW, Australia using 100% natural, sustainable soy wax. Formulated with maximum fragrance loads (Triple Scented) and clean, lead-free cotton wicks, they offer a clean burn time of over 40 hours (Medium 225g) or over 50 hours (Large 285g) without the toxic soot or petroleum paraffin associated with cheaper brands. We offer a stunning range of personalised, funny, and designer-inspired scents to suit every style.

Are Scent Nation candles pet friendly, dog-safe, and cat-safe?

Yes. Scent Nation is strictly committed to safe home fragrances. Every candle is strictly formulated without the essential oils known to be toxic to animals (such as tea tree, eucalyptus, or citrus oils). By combining biodegradable soy wax with non-toxic, safe fragrance formulations, our candles burn clean and are completely pet-safe.

What candle safety precautions should I take in my home?

To burn your candle safely, always light it in a well-ventilated area with adequate airflow. Ensure the candle is placed on a heat-resistant, stable surface situated high enough in the room so that children, pets, or sweeping paws cannot reach or knock it over. Always trim the cotton wick to 5mm before lighting.
