"When light enchants the heart, it sparks an illumination of purpose, a celebration of spirit...

It unlocks the emotional connection to both our past and present" - j.lilienne

Welcome to J.Lilienne Custom Candles

The inspiration behind our customized pet candles is our belief that our relationships with our pets hold the key to our hearts

What makes our candles so different?

Our ‘Pet Celebration’ custom candles are consciously hand-crafted to celebrate & honor your cherished companion.  Our candles are extra-special because they are inspired by YOUR pet & YOUR pet’s story! At J.Lilienne Custom Candles, we create a 100% unique and aesthetically beautiful label design that makes your own pet the featured star of the story. We infuse each & every candle with customized fragrance blends. Based on our artistic interpretation, we give back to you a keepsake to be treasured…a tribute to your best friend that you will not find anywhere else.

Your hand-crafted candle will include your pet's name & nicknames, important dates, pet’s picture, pet's story, pet's unique personality & special characteristics...all written in your own words! We also include a special poem on every candle! {it is the customer's choice as to how much or how little content they wish to have portrayed on their candle}

There is something very ritualistic and healing about the lighting of a single candle, and for centuries people have been making and using candles. The Egyptians were using wicked candles in 3000 B.C., and before that, the ancient Romans developed wicked candles by dipping rolled papyrus repeatedly in melted tallow or beeswax. These candles were used to light their homes, to aid travelers at night, and in religious ceremonies. Lighting candles has also traditionally served as an act of devotion or honor; even a rite to represent the marking of a promise. 

At J.Lilienne Custom Candles, we chose to elevate this experience by combining the candle-lighting ritual with an intent to celebrate our beloved pets through personal storytelling

We take customization to the next level...no two candles are alike as no two pets are alike.

And we know only too well how we can celebrate just about anything when it comes to our pets! Whether it be “gotcha” days, birthdays, foster-fail days, special events days, memorials,…or “just because we love you” days, our pets reflect the very best of us and they will always hold the keys to our hearts.

At J.Lilienne Custom Candles, we are obsessed with candles ourselves, so we take pride in creating each and every individual one, from the very beginning of the process all the way through to the finished product.  We sincerely hope that you will fall in love with our creations that we design, with love, specifically for you and your cherished companion.

And for the wildlife, marine life & nature lovers out there, we offer our 'Flora & Fauna' collection

Our ‘Flora & Fauna’ collection is a natural extension of our creative vision behind the ‘pet celebration’ candles. This unique collection of candles was inspired by animals in the wild, as well as our desire to celebrate the wonders & the beauty of this planet. Each candle celebrates a “World Day,” which is widely recognized.  We offer 3 different collections:

Every 'Flora & Fauna' candle features a beautiful watercolor artistic rendition printed on heavy estate matte paper. We pour our vegan candle wax with scent blends that conjure the essence of each collection.

Giving back to organizations doing great work

For every candle you buy from any collection, a portion of our profits will go toward reputable organizations that feel like we do about saving & protecting our companion animals, our endangered wildlife & our fragile environment.

We intentionally built the J.Lilienne custom candle business model from a platform of 'giving back' to not-for-profits that continue to fight for all that is worth fighting for.  Quite frankly, we would have never started our business without this charity component that serves as our mantra and completes the circle of giving.

Additional collections

Following our signature whimsical, watercolor animal & nature based themes, we create candle collections for all Holiday seasons. We also offer special limited-edition candles each year.

In like a lion, out like a lamb…Spring is that enchanting time of year that offers so much to love! We get to ‘begin again’ and celebrate regrowth, regeneration and renewal. We’re cleaning house and bringing in a new candle collection that covers this loveliest of seasons… Easter to Spring to Mother’s Day!

Happy 90th birthday, Dr. Jane Goodall! You are our role-model – hard-working, accountable, optimistic, empathetic, visionary…of the highest integrity…there are not enough words to describe who you are, what you stand for, and your continued contributions to the environment and all of its inhabitants…our special ‘Jane’ candle collection is just a mere tribute. 

We are loving what our customers are saying

How cute is this! I love the words on the front, they are so sentimental and they remind me of good childhood memories. The Fraser fir and cedar scent smells of Christmas and the woods outside our house. I will be ordering another one soon.
