Bonne Vivant Candles

Bonne (fem.) Vivant [ bon vee-vahnt ] - One who lives well.

Bonne Vivant Candles was founded on the idealism of the Art of Living Well— embracing holistic living, self-care and wellness with a lifelong passion for globetrotting and cultural celebration. We distinguish ourselves through a sophisticated fusion of cultural heritage and contemporary aesthetics-where time-honored traditions and global influences converge to create exceptional luxury home fragrances. Sparking joy and creating tranquility in everyday living.

Decades of travel through the Caribbean, Mexico, Africa, and Alaska are the source of inspiration for many of our collections. From the crystalline waters of the Virgin Islands to the glacial wilderness of Alaska; from the uninhibited raw mystery of the African Serengeti, to the tropical rainforest of the Yucatan. These experiences culminate in the Deep South, with each destination being a unique source of inspiration for our products.Our collections tell stories of colorful marketplaces, exotic coastlines, and rare fragrances steeped with cultural richness.

With a dedication to superior quality, we source exclusively non-toxic, cruelty-free ingredients from renewable resources — crafting exquisite home fragrances with premium materials that ensure cleaner & longer-lasting experiences. Each piece represents a bridge between worlds, offering attainable luxury that doesn't compromise on quality or principles.

Through our Made Better standard, we demonstrate our commitment to transparency and product integrity while pouring passion into every creation.

When you welcome our candles into your home, you're not simply purchasing a premium product— you're supporting a vision born from genuine appreciation for the finer things in life.

Our IngreDients

Natural Soy Wax

The soy wax we use comes from U.S. grown soy beans and is sustainable, non-toxic, biodegradable, cleaner & slower burning. Since soy wax is plant based it is also better for the environment!

Coconut/Soy Wax

The proprietary blend of Coconut/Soy brings together two popular plant-based waxes in a vegan-friendly option. This wax is slow burning, palm oil free, has the ability to hold a high level of fragrance & produces less soot.

Fragrance Oils

We hand-selected the finest, premium fragrance oils to ensure our candles are not only beautifully scented but also safe for your space. The fragrances we use are 100% phthalate-free, Non-Toxic, free from carcinogens, and hazardous chemicals.

Cotton Wicks

We use natural, flat braided cotton wicks that are lead & zinc free, and cleaner burning. They are designed to ensure a consistent burn & the nature of the wicks provide a superior performance for our candles.
