Onyx + Ember Apothecary

Onyx + Ember Apothecary 100% Soy Luxury Candles hand-poured in small batches. Made in Michigan. Welcome to Onyx + Ember Apothecary! That is where Onyx + Ember Apothecary gets it start.

My mom instilled a love of candles in me at a young age, so when she was first diagnosed with lung cancer I set out to make her a ‘clean’ candle. After doing my research about the toxins major companies include in their candles I knew there had to be a better way to make your home smell delicious. Our mission is to create the cleanest candles with the best scents. We start with ECO wicks that are

made with natural cotton fibers, lead and zinc free, and have self-trimming and clean burning characteristics that minimize mushrooming, soot, and smoke. Our wax is 100% soy wax. No wax blends here! Soy wax is considered a natural wax since it is made from vegetable oil. Unlike paraffin wax that is made from petroleum oil and can increase the amount of CO2 in the air. Soy candles do not require chemicals to scent them, have a lower melting point so the wax itself doesn’t get as hot, produce negligible amounts of soot, and release no known carcinogens into the air. Soy candles burn, on average, 50% longer than regular candles. There scent is also stronger because of the lower melting point. This allows more wax to pool around the wick and the essential oils to release into the air. Plus, they clean up easier. Soy wax is water soluble, so just use soap and water when the wax is spilled. Finally, all of our candles are scented with natural fragrance oils. They are free of dibutyl phthalate (DBP), dimethyl phthalate (DMP), and diethyl phthalate (DEP)

Phthalates used in fragrances are hormone disrupters linked to asthma, ADHD, breast cancer, neurodevelopment issues, male fertility issues, and altered reproductive development.

The Garden Collection captures nature at its most raw and seductive.

Berry Farm lingers like stained fingertips. Ripe raspberry and blackberry cut with a flash of citrus, dark, juicy, and impossible to forget.

Heirloom opens with the green bite of tomato leaf, grounded by basil and sharpened with lemon peel. Fresh, but unapologetically bold.

Summer Citrus drips in sunlit decadence, where lemon and orange melt into golden agave, radiant and addictive.

This isn’t a stroll through the garden.
It’s a slow, sun-drenched unraveling.

Saffron Forest

violet, saffron, and cedar

Saffron Forest blurs the line between floral and wood, creating something unexpected and quietly bold. Powdery violet and earthy saffron unfold first, layered with subtle brightness. As the scent deepens, palo santo, sandalwood, and soft smoke emerge, anchored by a warm cedar base and a touch of amber.

Complex, grounding, and effortlessly refined.💜🌱

To everyone who has supported us, shared us, burned our candles in your homes, gifted them to loved ones, and grown with us over the years thank you for being part of this journey.

Here’s to six years of warmth, nostalgia, and creating beauty that lingers long after the flame goes out. 🖤✨

Night Walk
dark musk, marine, and moonflower

Night Walk is inspired by the stillness of a garden after dark, where florals bloom under moonlight and the air feels thick with warmth. Juicy pear and agave bring a soft, luminous sweetness, drifting into delicate marine notes and night-blooming florals. A base of dark musk and amber lingers on the skin, creating a scent that feels both airy and deeply sensual.

Soft, glowing, and undeniably magnetic. 🌙🪻

Moody Blooms
red rose, patchouli, and santal

Moody Blooms captures the rose in its entirety, velvety petals, green stems, and the earth beneath it. Bright grapefruit and soft florals open the scent before giving way to a true rose heart, layered with fresh leaves and a whisper of magnolia. Patchouli adds depth, while creamy santal grounds the blend with a soft, lingering warmth.

A floral with edge, depth, and quiet intensity. 🌹🥀

At Onyx + Ember Apothecary, scent is more than fragrance—it’s an atmosphere, a mood, a quiet ritual.

What are scent notes?
Think of a candle like a slow, unfolding experience. Each note reveals itself in layers, creating a full sensory story.

Top Notes: the first impression
These are the soft whispers that greet you when the candle is first lit. Light, airy, and fleeting, like a breath of lavender or a hint of citrus, they set the tone and invite you in.

Middle Notes: the heart
As the flame warms the wax, the heart begins to bloom. This is where the soul of the scent lives. Think florals, herbs, or warm woods that feel grounding and present. It’s the essence you linger in.

Base Notes: the foundation
Deep, rich, and enduring. Base notes anchor the experience with warmth and depth. Think sandalwood, amber, or cedar. These notes stay with you, subtly scenting the space long after the flame is gone.

Dark Cherry
black cherry, vetiver, + sandalwood

Dark Cherry is a deeper, more refined take on a classic note. She’s rich, indulgent, and quietly seductive. Juicy black cherry and soft almond open with a subtle sweetness, layered with hints of raspberry. As it settles, earthy vetiver and smooth vanilla emerge, grounded by a warm base of sandalwood and cedarwood.

Lush, dark, and effortlessly elegant.🍒❤️
