Our 8oz Paris for a Day candle sits on a dark glass table. The wooden wick is lit casting a warm glow. To one side sits a stack of vinyl records, in front some chunky silver jewelry and behind is a disco ball. The lighting is minimal, letting the candle throw moody shadows.

Cooler than the cool side of your pillow

A fragrance with a little “je ne sais quoi”.

The Soundtracks

Each fragrance at Seldom Out starts off with the music.

A woman's hands holding our 12 oz Amber Glass Candle, she has the candle tilted to see the wick and is lighting it with a lighter.

The Story

We all know the magic of music, right? That mood-bending, nostalgia-inducing, experience-making kind of magic? Well our mission is to turn *that* into fragrances that do the same thing.

In short, Seldom Out creates olfactory observations on music & nostalgia.

SALE!

We use a 100% plant-based wax with no non-soy additives, no paraffin or palm oils and we don't add white dyes for color enhancement. Like food this means it has a sell by date!

We make in very small batches, in quantities that sell quickly, but sometimes we miscalculate and things hang around a little longer.

These candles may not be as pretty as they once were, but we hate to see good candles go to waste.

Oops!

Sometimes vessels arrive to us with visual imperfections, sometimes the wax doesn't set quite up to our standards, and sometimes we just have a human moment and mess up!

Most companies would write off these products and dump them but we're not about that waste!

So if it's safe to use, but just not quite perfect you'll find them discounted in our Oops category!
