Welcome to Ember Haven Candles: Our Story + Why We Love Wax Melts
Hi! We’re so glad you’re here. Whether you found us while searching for wax melts in Canada, exploring handmade scents from Halifax, or just following your nose toward something cozy and comforting—welcome to Ember Haven Candles.
We’re a small home-based business based right here in Halifax, Nova Scotia, creating hand-poured wax melts that are all about warmth, creativity, and clean, long-lasting fragrance. We currently ship across Canada and the United States, and love connecting with scent lovers far and wide.
But before the wax came the crafts.
From Craft Table to Wax Table
Ember Haven started the way many creative businesses do: with a deep love for DIY and the joy of making something by hand. Before wax melts, we explored the world of bows, Cricut crafts, and sublimation printing—each medium feeding our passion for creating beautiful, personal things that bring people joy.
Then one day, a wax melt changed everything.
We had been gifted a scent that transformed a room in minutes—no flame, no smoke, just pure comfort. That experience lit the spark (pun intended!) and sent us down the rabbit hole of testing, blending, and pouring. We quickly fell in love with the process—and even more so with the results.
Why Wax Melts? Here’s What Won Us Over
We love candles, but there’s something magical about wax melts:
- No flame, no fuss. Wax melts offer a safer, more versatile way to enjoy fragrance—especially in homes with pets, kids, or forgetful brains.
- Stronger scent throw. Because they melt slowly and evenly, our melts release a powerful aroma that fills the room without overwhelming it.
- Creative freedom. We love playing with scent combinations, seasonal themes, and packaging—wax melts give us the space to explore and experiment.
And let’s be honest: there's something soothing about melting a cube and letting it signal, "You’re home now."
Made in Halifax. Shipped Across Canada & the U.S.
We proudly pour every batch in Halifax, NS using quality wax blends and fragrance oils sourced from trusted Canadian suppliers. Our melts are always phthalate-free, paraben-free, and made with care.

What’s Next for Ember Haven?
This is just the beginning. We have plans to grow Ember Haven into a cozy corner of the internet filled with not just wax melts, but also:
- Candles (yes, we still love them!)
- Body products like scrubs, lotions, and balms
- Seasonal collections inspired by nature, nostalgia, and comfort
At the heart of it all is one value: continuous learning. We're always testing new ideas, improving our formulas, and listening to what our customers want. Your feedback, questions, and scent suggestions are what help us grow.
