Looking for a quick way to boost your self-care routine with scents that match your mood and need? We tried Vellabox—a subscription service that curates artisan, clean-burning candles to fit your unique preferences. From the brief quiz that uncovers your aromatic tastes (like fresh, floral, or even “Surprise Me”) to the eco-friendly packaging, Vellabox aims to make finding your perfect scent as easy as lighting a wick.

How It Works

Each month, Vellabox partners with artisan candle makers from the US who use 100% natural wax and non-toxic materials. The candles arrive in simple, eco-friendly packaging, so there’s minimal waste. Once you complete the quiz during sign-up, you’ll receive curated scents that align with your preferences—no more sifting through endless store shelves or guessing at vague descriptions online.

Why We Love It

1. Convenience: No more store runs or browsing endless Reddit reviews. Vellabox does the heavy lifting by selecting seasonal scents that you will enjoy.
   
2. Quality & Clean Burn: We’re big on using candles made from natural waxes. Every Vellabox candle we’ve received so far has smelled amazing but not overpowering—no headache from the strong synthetic odors, thanks to phthalate-free fragrance.
   
3. Discovering New Brands: Instead of sticking to the same two or three candles, we’re exploring a world of artisan-makers we didn’t know existed. There’s something exciting about supporting small businesses while discovering new preferences.
   
4. Extra Goodies: Besides the candle, there’s a small bonus item—like a mini snack or self-care treat—that adds an extra layer of fun to the unboxing.
