Introducing: Raise a Glass


​"Raise a glass to freedom--
something they can never take away!"

Raise a Glass features the smell of a "brewing" revolution: whiskey, tobacco, and just a bit of gunpowder. Inspired by the popular American musical Hamilton, this wax blend embodies the spirit of the revolution and one of the musical's oft-repeated refrains. 

Raise a Glass is a perfect gift for a Broadway lover, but its understated references give it even broader appeal. The aroma of whiskey and caramel, layered over pipe tobacco and a hint of smokey gunpowder, is a masculine blend appropriate for any man-cave or toast-worthy celebration.

The Art of a Fragrance Blend

At Wilfred Wax, we treat our candles like aromatic works of art. By adjusting each blend one ml of fragrance oil at a time, our scented waxes are thoroughly tested and tweaked until we've come up with a fragrance that we adore. Each candle is inspired by a beloved facet of our lives—whether it be an oft-visited study spot (Steamed & Frothed), a favorite tasty treat (In a Nutshell), a fall evening with good friends (Spiked Cider),  a beloved book (Halfling Hill), or the classic symbol of a beautiful season (Silly Love Songs). Here's to more memories and new smells. Cheers.

Spiked Cider

Spiked Cider is a customer favorite. Inspired by the (gallons of) hot cider that we keep around the house during cold months, Spiked Cider blends the aroma of piping hot apple cider with just a touch of smoky bourbon.

Steamed & Frothed

Our Steamed & Frothed candle is an attempt to capture the smell of our favorite corner coffeehouse. This latte-inspired fragrance mix blends velvety mocha, vanilla, ​and a shot of rich espresso.

In a Nutshell

In a Nutshell is the most recent blend we've designed at Wilfred Wax. Inspired by a sweet treat that we all know and love, this candle blends hazelnut and cocoa in a good-enough-to-eat fragrance blend.
Relative fragrance strength: Robust

Silly Love Songs

A light, fresh floral blend featuring rose, gardenia and a touch of lavender. An ode to the silly love songs that make us roll our eyes (and occasionally swoon), this candle is
​a Valentine's Day favorite.

Halfling Hill

Halfling Hill is an ode to the land of well-kept gardens, round green doors, rolling meadows, and unadventurous Shire-folk. Designed to smell like a home under-the-Hill, our candle features pipe tobacco, cherrywood, honey ale, light florals, and grassy meadows. Sweet and mature, yet fresh and green.
​Relative fragrance strength: Subtle

Let Them Eat Cake

"Qu’ils mangent de la brioche!" We've taken up the witty retort of an uncaring princess to help each other celebrate the good times—the birthdays, the promotions, the anniversaries, and the good-old-regular moments. This candle smells like freshly whipped cake batter: buttery and sugary, with a bit of vanilla.

May the Fourth (Dark Side)

May the Fourth (Dark Side) is seductive and alluring, just like the power of a villainous galactic order. Volatile and emotional, the Dark Side candle is a blend of pomegranate and orange, laced with chili pepper and exotic spices. 
​Relative fragrance strength: Classic

May the Fourth (Light Side)

May the Fourth (Light Side) is peaceful, yet powerful, just like the calming sensation of a sea-side breeze. Inspired by an island on which a galactic hero trained and waited, the Light Side candle is a blend of light aquatic florals and fresh sea salt, with a just touch of sea moss and driftwood.

Dreamy Midsummer

Dreamy Midsummer features a medley of honey and wildflowers, imbued with musk and amber and blended over a subtle teaky, vanilla base. This succulent blend is sweet, flirtatious, and as soft as a mid-summer's breeze... or should we say "dream"? Dreamy Midsummer reminds us of a certain magical forest near Athens, where fairies hold court, and the romantic heart proves fickle.

London Fog

London Fog features the soothing aroma of earl grey tea with just a splash of milk. We've highlighted the unique notes of this classic tea: citrus-y bergamot and even a hint of lavender. Our ode to this beloved beverage is just as much a nod to the land of its birth, so its label features the iconic sights of London, England. London Fog is delightfully calming and subtle. It makes a great gift for a tea lover and a wonderful backdrop for a quiet day indoors. Light and refreshing, like a hot cup of tea, this wax blend is one of our new favorites!

Sweet Chai O' Mine

Sweet Chai O' Mine captures the essence of creamy vanilla chai. Its milky vanilla tea base is infused with the spicy scent of cloves and cinnamon to create an aroma that is as warm and comforting as it is enlivening and festive.
