Our Story | 28° Candles — Luxury Oud Candles That Burn Beautifully
The Story Behind 28°
Born from frustration. Refined through obsession. Lit with love.
I've always believed that a luxury candle should do one thing above everything else — burn beautifully. Yet time and again, I'd spend serious money on premium candles only to watch them tunnel, smoke, or burn out long before their promise. The packaging was stunning. The experience, disappointing.
So I decided to change that.
Years in the Making
What started as personal frustration became a years-long pursuit of perfection. I obsessed over every variable, the wax, the wick, the fragrance load - testing and refining until I had something I was genuinely proud of. Not just a candle that looked luxurious, but one that performed like it.
The result is 28°: a collection of hand-crafted luxury candles designed to burn cleanly, evenly, and beautifully from the first light to the last.
Crafted for the Senses
At the heart of 28° is our signature use of rich oud fragrances - deep, warm, and genuinely room-filling. Oud is one of the world's most prized scents, and we've made it the cornerstone of a candle experience that's as indulgent as it is long-lasting.
Every 28° candle is a carefully considered balance of:
- Clean, even burn - no tunnelling, no sooty residue
- Complex, lasting fragrance - oud-led scents that linger long after the flame is out
- Elegant presentation - crafted to gift, display, and cherish
More Than a Candle
As a disabled founder, I navigate a world that wasn't built with people like me in mind. That experience taught me something valuable: the things we create with our own hands carry a depth that mass production simply can't replicate.
Every 28° candle is made with that understanding. Each one is a piece of me, my resilience, my care, my refusal to settle for "good enough." When you light a 28° candle, you're not just filling your room with fragrance. You're holding something made with intention.
The Perfect Luxury Gift
Whether you're treating yourself or someone you love, 28° candles are designed to make an impression. Our packaging is as considered as the candle itself because the full experience matters, from the moment it's unwrapped to the final hour it burns. It's a ritual.
Luxury oud candles. Exceptional burn. Made with purpose.
