Natural, ethically sourced
A soy wax base in every candle — with gel wax carved into ice cubes in the Café Collection — ethically sourced and hand-poured.
Our story
“Joy doesn't need a big occasion. It can be as small as lighting a candle.”
Tempus & Jubilo started on a kitchen counter in London, with a lot of evenings spent melting wax, testing scents and redoing designs until they felt right.
The reason we kept going is simple: lighting a candle is a small way to make an ordinary moment feel a bit better — a quiet morning, dinner with people you like, or just a normal evening at home. That's what "bring joy at all times" means to us.
That idea grew into candles that do more than scent a room — café-inspired scents, playful fruit shapes and decorative pieces, each one made to add a bit of warmth and character to everyday moments.
Every candle is still hand-poured in small batches, one order at a time. There's a lot of trial and error behind each collection, but the goal has stayed the same — candles people actually enjoy having, giving and lighting in their homes.
