Masculine candles and wax melts smell bold, woody, and confident, men’s scents with the depth of a good cologne. The blend leans on notes like smoke, amber, sandalwood, patchouli, and musk. Manly and rugged but still refined, they suit anyone who wants candles and wax melts that smell like men’s fragrance rather than florals or sweets. Part of our full soy wax melts range. For more deep, warm scents, try earthy wax melts or fall wax melts. A standout in this family is our Mahogany Teakwood wax melts, deep mahogany, cedar, and oak over a light musk. For an incense note, try our Nag Champa wax melts, woody and powdery with musk and amber.

What makes a candle scent masculine?

Masculine scents borrow from the same places as men's cologne: woods like cedar, teak, oak and sandalwood; leather and smoke; earthy notes like patchouli, vetiver and oakmoss; warm amber and musk; and the outdoors, from pine forests to sea air. They are bold and dry rather than sweet or floral. That said, a "masculine" scent is just a style. Plenty of people of every kind simply prefer wood and smoke to flowers and dessert.

Candles or wax melts?

Every scent above comes both ways. Our soy candles come in every style we make, from travel tins to corked glass jars, and every candle comes in every masculine scent. wax melts need a warmer but no flame, and they are an easy way to try several scents or mix your own: a cube of Leather Jacket with a cube of Whiskey Barrel makes a study with a drink poured.

Candles for men as gifts

A woody or leather candle is an easy gift for someone who does not want flowers or sweets. Our jar candles are ready to wrap. If you are unsure, Mahogany Teakwood and Man Cave are safe picks, and Nag Champa suits anyone who likes incense.
