Bonne Vivant Candles

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

Bonne Vivant Candles was founded on 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. The 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 products with premium materials that ensure cleaner & longer-lasting experiences.

Each piece represents a bridge - offering attainable luxury that doesn't compromise on quality or principles.

By 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

Wax

We use a proprietary blend of Coconut/Soy Wax which is made from U.S. grown plant based ingredients, sustainable, biodegradable, cleaner & slower burning. This blend brings together two popular plant-based waxes in a vegan-friendly option which is also free from palm oil, has the ability to hold a high level of fragrance while producing less soot and is better for you and the environment!

Fragrances

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 and all are infused with natural Essential Oils.

Wicks

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

Some of our products utilize crackling Wood Wicks which are also sustainably sourced, ensure a clean & Eco-friendly experience with a soothing crackling sound reminiscent of a burning fireplace. These are most popular in our Autumn & Winter collections but can be used in any of our candles by request.

Containers

We offer a variety of containers for our creations that feature the beauty of the collection, showcase the scent and add gorgeous decorative feature for you space. Once the candle is spent, the containers can be cleaned & reused for storage, organization, a jewelry holder, or they can be painted or decorated as a plant holder for succulents!
