Just in time to warm up the winter months, VIGYL — the queer-led scent and design studio known for crafting objects that transform space and identity — has released a limited-edition holiday candle duo that defies convention and embraces expression.
Rooted in sensory storytelling and designed for those who move beyond binaries, VIGYL’s latest drop leans into mood, tension, and atmosphere rather than following the usual fragrance “rules.” These aren’t your average holiday candles — they’re olfactory experiences for the ones who treat scent like self-expression.
🎁 Meet the Duo: HEIRLOOM & VIRGIN PINE
Each candle carries VIGYL’s signature energy: genderless, atmospheric, and unapologetically expressive.
🌿 HEIRLOOM (Green)
- Notes: Basil, tomato, oak moss, lavender
- Smells like: The flesh of an heirloom tomato — tender, dripping, and sun-warmed. A hidden inheritance. The slow burn of something forbidden, ripening in the dark.
- Perfect for: The friend who grows herbs on their windowsill, romanticizes farmers’ markets, and always smells faintly of something green and beautiful.
- Price: $44.00 CAD / $37.00 USD
🌲 VIRGIN PINE (Woody)
- Notes: Fir, pine, lime, cardamom, cedarleaf, musk
- Smells like: Pine needles on bare skin. A midnight ritual beneath the boughs. Evergreen desire.
- Perfect for: The forest romantic, the cold-plunge devotee, the one who finds luxury in silence, solitude, and a perfectly tailored wool coat.
- Price: $44.00 CAD / $37.00 USD
VIGYL’s holiday candles aren’t just about scent — they’re about identity, memory, and mood. Whether you’re gifting or indulging, these candles invite you to step into a world where fragrance is fluid, and every flicker tells a story.
