Welcome to the world of Shivora's signature fragrances. Think of this as your personal guide to turning any room in your Canadian home into a place that feels completely, uniquely you.
From the comforting warmth of an Apple Cinnamon candle to the quiet escape offered by Sandalwood & Amber, each scent is a tool for shaping your home's atmosphere.
How Scent Shapes Your Home and Mood
Scent is a way to craft an ambiance, trigger fond memories, and give your living space a true personality. Our candle mood pairing guide goes deeper into pairing scent with each space.
A Blue Cedar Lavender candle, for instance, can make a bedroom feel like a serene spa retreat during a long Canadian winter. A bright, zesty Mango Coconut candle can bring a wave of sun-drenched, joyful energy into your living room on a grey day.

Exploring Rose Soy Wax Melts
If you love filling your home with scent but want something a little different from a traditional candle, our Rose soy wax melts offer a fantastic, flame-free way to fragrance your space. There's something classic about the scent of rose - soft, genuine, and deeply comforting.
How to Use and Customize Your Scent
- Control the intensity - use one or two pieces for a subtle hint, or add more for a stronger scent
- Create custom blends - try melting Rose with Sandalwood & Amber for a beautiful woody-floral combination
- Maximize fragrance life - when scent fades, turn off the warmer, let the wax cool completely, and it should pop right out ready for fresh melts

For energizing your workspace: Coffee Caramel makes your desk feel like a productive corner café, while Mango Coconut brings sunny, cheerful energy. For a relaxing bedroom retreat: Blue Cedar Lavender blends earthy wood notes with the classic calm of lavender. For a welcoming living area: Apple Cinnamon is a timeless classic.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best way to care for my candle? Trim your wick to about ¼ inch before every burn to prevent soot. On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the jar to create a proper "memory" and prevent tunneling. Our full guide to burning candles cleanly in Canadian homes covers this in complete detail.
Why do you use soy wax? Soy wax is renewable, biodegradable, and burns much cleaner than petroleum-based paraffin. See our soy wax vs. paraffin comparison for the full breakdown.
Are your candles and wax melts safe for homes with pets? Yes - we use phthalate-free fragrance oils and natural soy wax, generally considered safe around pets. Always burn in a well-ventilated space and keep candles and warmers out of reach of curious paws.
