Why Melted Stories

We’re a small candle studio in Trivandrum. We pour soy wax by hand, sculpt it into flowers, desserts and keepsakes, and fill jars with scents for every hour of the day.

  • 100% soy wax

    Natural soy wax, hand-poured in small batches.

  • Shaped by hand

    Every petal, swirl and bear is sculpted piece by piece, so no two are quite alike.

  • Made in India

    Poured by hand in our Trivandrum studio and shipped across India.

  • Made for you

    Custom scents and colours, and bulk orders for weddings, return gifts and offices.

Candle care

How to burn your candle

A few small habits give you a clean flame and an even burn, right to the bottom of the jar.

  1. Let the first burn reach the edge

    On the first light, burn until the melted wax reaches the sides, usually 2 to 3 hours, so it doesn’t tunnel.

  2. Trim the wick

    Trim it to about 5 mm before each light for a clean, steady flame.

  3. Set it somewhere steady

    On a heat-safe surface, away from curtains, fans and draughts, and out of reach of children and pets.

  4. Burn up to 4 hours at a time

    Then let it cool and set before you light it again.

  5. Put the lid back on

    Once the wax has set, cap the jar to keep the scent in and the dust out.

  6. Never leave it alone

    Blow it out before you leave the room or fall asleep.

Scent layering

Layer the scent

A diffuser keeps a quiet scent going all day; a candle is for the moments you settle in. Keep them in the same family, or pair a fresh scent with a warm one.

  1. A reed diffuser by the door

    A steady, flame-free scent for entryways and living rooms. Try Oud & Smoked Whisky.

  2. A candle where you settle in

    Light a jar in the room you spend the evening in.

  3. Pair fresh with warm

    English Garden by day and Tobacco Vanilla after dark, or French Lavender in the bedroom.
