Interlude Candles

Candles as Art. Scent as Memory.

Interlude began around a kitchen table in London, where a mother and daughter decided to make something beautiful — not just to look at, but to live with. The conviction behind the brand is simple and rather lovely: that a candle is more than a scent. It is a chance to pause, to be transported somewhere else, to revisit a memory or imagine a future. Each fragrance in the Interlude range is built around that relationship between scent and sentimentality — hazy childhood memories of fresh linen drying on the line in summer, a woodland walk in the rain, the warmth of somewhere you have always felt at home.

What sets Interlude apart from the considerable crowd of independent candle makers is the sculptural range — hand-poured soy wax candles in forms that are genuinely worth looking at even before they are lit. The Venus Bust candle, as featured in Apartment Therapy, is the kind of object that stops people in their tracks. As true fragrance lovers, the founders are always reimagining how to layer traditional scent profiles — floral, fresh, spiced and woody — into something contemporary yet familiar. Every product is 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and made using only natural ingredients that comply with the highest industry standards.
