Intro:
Every now and then, we come across a Canadian brand that feels like a warm hug — simple, soulful, and full of heart. This month, we’re featuring Fern & Fossil Candle Co., a small-batch candle brand based in Victoria, BC, that’s all about earth-inspired scents and sustainable practices.
Meet Fern & Fossil
Run by best friends Mel and Jordan, Fern & Fossil began as a side hustle in their shared kitchen and quickly grew into a full-blown passion project. What makes their brand so special? Every candle is hand-poured with natural coconut-soy wax, infused with essential oils, and topped with foraged botanicals like dried fern, cedar tips, or wildflower petals.
“We wanted our candles to smell like memories — like walking through the woods after rain or sipping tea in a cabin,” Mel says.
Why We Love Them
- Canadian-made and inspired by the natural landscapes of BC
- Use eco-friendly, reusable glass jars
- Scents like Rainforest Bloom, Woodsmoke & Rose, and Golden Lichen
- Minimal, earthy packaging that fits any boho or rustic space
Whether you light one during your morning journaling routine or while winding down for the night, their candles bring a little bit of West Coast calm into your space.
