There’s a version of this update where we show chaos, spilled wax, and late nights. This isn’t that. This is us measuring flame height.Because that’s how you make sure a candle burns properly. Most of the work behind JAFC looks like... (Read More)

Familiar ideas. Unfamiliar execution. The “Not Like…” collection exists because we’re tired of lazy candle clichés. You’ve smelled these categories before.Just not like this. Not Like LavenderSmells like lavender. Just not the one your... (Read More)

The Scents (Smells Like…)

January 22nd - via: kickstarter.com
Mood over marketing. This collection came first. We didn’t start with fragrance notes.We started with how things feel. The “Smells Like…” candles are named after moods, moments, and states of mind, the ones you actually recognise, not the... (Read More)

The Jars

November 5th - via: kickstarter.com
We tested a lot of jars.Some felt right.Some looked like cheap yoghurt pots. Turns out, finding something simple that doesn’t look simple is harder than you’d think. We wanted a jar that feels solid, minimal, and unapologetic, the kind you’d... (Read More)

Why We Exist

October 27th - via: kickstarter.com
Most candle brands promise peace, balance, and enlightenment.We promise none of that. We built Just A Fucking Candle because we got tired of packaging words that meant nothing."Luxury." "Mindfulness." "Wellness."All buzzwords. No backbone. So we... (Read More)
