Gritty, intriguing and inherently grungy, Hunter Candles embodies everything founder, creator and maker Vianney Hunter is about.
Her obsession with the graffiti-streaked streets and industrial back alleyways of Newtown underscores the creative ethos hand-poured into each and every candle. "I find these streets contagious. They have this crazy energy, full of life and lust. Yet everything still feels so simple here, and everyone feels so connected." This interconnectedness to community is at the heart of Hunter Candles.
When developing a new scent, Vianney combines nostalgic earthen tones and raw textures with inspiration drawn from the mentors, makers and memories that colour her world. Passionate about preserving the art of candle-making, each candle is brought to life with two bare hands - and promises to remain this way. More than just a scent, Hunter Candles is a true olfactory experience.

Hunter Candles is perfect for those looking to make more mindful candle choices without compromising on aroma or aesthetic.
Sartorially-minded from the start, Vianney grew up surrounded by beautiful objects thanks to her mother’s career as a photographer and interior designer. "I remember our house always being full of enormous candles. They were everywhere. Mum used to style them in and amongst a million plants and branches. When I look back at that now, I feel like Hunter Candles are a snapshot of those rooms."
It’s Vianney’s honed eye for design and addition to beautiful aromas that combine to create a truly extraordinary approach to scent. A subversive, androgynous and effortlessly sexy approach that we know will have you just as addicted to Hunter Candles as we are.
