Soy Candles for Men? Yes!
Let’s break a myth right now: candles are not just for spa days, Pinterest boards or Sunday church.
Candles, especially the bold, beautifully-scented soy kind, are for anyone who needs a moment of calm, creativity or pure sensory joy. Including men. Especially men.
This week’s candle-making workshop proved exactly that.

Two Men. Zero Hesitation. Maximum Creativity
It started with a neighbour I met during a litter-picking initiative (yes, community spirit is real). He brought a friend and the two of them showed up at The Scent of Burnout workshop ready to roll. No side-eyes. No “this is too girly.” Just genuine curiosity and good vibes.
They wore the funny aprons (the cheekiest ones), asked questions, took their time choosing scents and colours and they poured with precision. At the end, they walked away with candles that looked and smelled like confidence.
But more than that, they left with something many men don’t often allow themselves to access:
💜 Focus
💜 Creativity
💜 Relaxation
💜 The pride of making something with their own hands
Why Soy Candles Are a Great Fit for Men
Here is the secret: soy candles are clean, powerful and surprisingly grounding. They melt into an amber-gold pool of calm and they carry fragrance in a way that is never overpowering. And when you get to choose your own scent and design? That’s not just candle-making, that’s craftsmanship.
This isn’t about florals and glitter. It’s about finding your own scent story, whether that’s strong cedar, white musk or even a twist of espresso and jasmine.
Men, You Belong Here
You don’t need to know the difference between lavender and lilac or to have soft hands and an eye for pastel. You just need curiosity and maybe the desire to not scream into your keyboard this week.
We will guide you through the whole process. We will supply the vibe and the playlist. And yes, there will be fragrances, colours, glass pitchers and fire-safe tools involved. 🔥
