Put something better
in the group chat.

Another coffee? Another dinner? Make this catch-up something you create together. At Candle Bar, choosing a fragrance and pouring a candle becomes part of the conversation.

01 / A MOMENT FOR YOU

Switch up your usual.

Give yourself a reason to step out of the everyday. Explore the scents, take your time choosing and enjoy a hands-on activity with guidance along the way.

02 / SOMETHING TO SHARE

Bring your kind of people.

A date, a birthday, a friend you haven't seen in a while. You don't need a big occasion to sit down together and make something of your own.

03 / MORE THAN A MEMORY

Take the good feeling home.

Your candle is part of the experience, not an extra to buy at the end. Choose a scent and vessel, then leave with a coco-soy candle you've poured yourself.

Gather your people

Make it a Candle
Bar celebration.

Birthday plans, a hens celebration, a team catch-up or an excuse to get everyone together. A private Candle Bar booking gives your group something to do, make and talk about.

Wick-Zen can discuss a tailored experience for your group and budget. Options may include grazing platters, cake towers, drinks, flowers or custom engraving. These are arranged with the team rather than automatically included in a standard session.

  • Birthdays, hens and private celebrations
  • Corporate events and team building
  • Client hosting and end-of-year catch-ups

Simone, founder of Wick-Zen, holding a candle
A brand built on instinct

Meet Wick-Zen.
Stay a little gutsy.

After years in the corporate world, Simone backed her own idea and started Wick-Zen. The brand takes its cue from the Brunswick fox: curious, resilient and ready to trust its instincts.

That spirit runs through the small-batch candles and the experience at Candle Bar. Bold scents, a personal touch and an invitation to make a little space for yourself.

Wick-Zen also supports The Lost Dogs Home, with A$2 from every full-sized candle sold helping animals receive care. If you're shopping while you're here, that's another part of the brand's story to feel good about.
