Behind the Scents

This is a testament to the one-of-a-kind Capetonian rhythm – a knife-edge of contrasts: ocean and ridge, hard grind and harder play, casual morning runs and equally casual evening bar hops. We bottled that improbable balance in five authentic fragrances, letting the Mother City’s energy breathe through your room on demand.

Waves, Peaks & Play – Bottled

A storyboard that traces a full 24-hour loop through Cape Town – from wind-whipped dawn summits to champagne-sticky dance floors.

FAQ

Candle Care

For the first light, simply let the wax melt all the way to the glass edge to set an even “memory” pool. Place the candle on a level, heat-safe surface away from drafts, air-conditioning and direct sun, and keep it out of reach of children and pets. For subsequent burns, trim the wick to about 6 mm before lighting. Burn in sessions of 2-4 hours; if the flame grows tall or you notice smoke, extinguish, allow the wax to cool, trim a little shorter and relight. To avoid tunnelling, allow each burn to create an even surface across the top. Snuff rather than blow to minimise smoke, and store your candle in a cool, dry place to protect the fragrance. When the candle is finished, you can clean out the jar and either refill it with a Mylk Pack or repurpose the vessel.

Absolutely, yes! We know the stack of used candle jars all too well, so we created Mylk Pack Refills to minimize waste and stretch your budget. 

Packs come in the same fragrances as our main candle collection — and you get the simple pleasure of making your own candle. Give it a try :)

General

A plant-based soy–coconut wax blend to imperfect the melt and burn performance, plus IFRA-aligned fragrance oils and a natural cotton wick.

We don’t use paraffin, parabens, phthalates, or other health-harmful additives. For best scent and burn, we recommend using your candles within one year.

Our candles are formulated with increased fragrance-oil loads, so they open quickly in regular and large rooms. Airflow, ceiling height, and placement all affect diffusion. Heavier profiles (woods, amber bases) are naturally more noticeable than lighter ones (citrus, florals).

Use the day as your guide.

  • Fresh, wake-up energy – Atlantic Sunrise (sea salt, freesia).
  • Bright and clean – Citrus Route (orange blossom). Good for lounge, dining.
  • Calm and grounded – In the Clouds (lavender, oakmoss). Bedroom, study.
  • Warm, evening cosy – Luxe (honey, amber, tobacco). Living room, bedroom.
  • Fun and flirty – Pucker Up (granadilla, mango, coconut milk). Getting ready, parties.
