The Philotree

The Craft

Some things are worth taking time over.

Every Philotree candle is made in our own production facility in Delhi. It's the same facility that makes candles for several well-known brands across India. We know this craft deeply, and we apply that knowledge to every batch we pour under the Philotree name.

Nothing leaves without passing a rigorous testing process. Four to five days of evaluation, every time, without exception.

How each candle is made

  1. 01

    The wax

    We use pure soy wax, measured by weight rather than volume. Soy burns cooler and cleaner than most alternatives, producing a consistent melt pool and a longer, more even burn.

  2. 02

    The fragrance

    Fragrance is blended into the wax at a set load, weighed for every batch. So every candle smells the way it should.

  3. 03

    The pour

    Poured in larger batches to maintain temperature consistency across every jar. Lead-free cotton wicks go in before the wax sets, placed and centred by hand.

  4. 04

    The test

    Before any batch is approved, every candle undergoes a continuous 8-hour burn test. Five things are checked and signed off every time.
