I recently customized some candles for my birthday and Mother's Day, and Bao was so helpful, answering any questions I had about the customization process and even recommending some unique scents they had in store for a custom candle. The Funfetti Cake candle I got for my birthday smells absolutely delicious, and my mom adores the Raisin Butter Tart scented candle I surprised her with for Mother's Day! I 100% recommend this service for those special occasions that could use a more personal touch.

I was new to the candle shopping scene when I first encountered Bask Hour at the very first Anime Ottawa back in 2024. And boy am I glad I did, because they really opened my eyes to a whole new world of candle shopping. Their candles are a cut above the rest—not only are they all-natural and soot-free, with a lovely mood-setting crackle from the bamboo wick (a selling point at their booth!), but they have an absolute gift for really capturing the scent of something in a candle. When I was a newbie candle shopper, I’d buy any candle that smells good; now, as a veteran, I shop exclusively from Bask Hour, and I’ve even set aside a designated “candle time” in the evening for one of their candles. Their candles are top-notch, and they have something for everyone!

My Top 5 Bask Hour scents are:

Cozy Cream: I saw this scent recommended by the reviews on the website, and I’m so happy I gave it a try! It’s a lovely combination of fresh, sweet, and even a little sensual. Plus the name itself is adorable.

Cereal: A classic favourite, which really captured the smell of a bowl of fruit loops. Lighting one up in summer takes me back to childhood summer vacations, eating bowls of cereal while watching cartoons.

Jasmine: Another classic. I love floral scents as much as food scents, and the sweet jasmine scent is one of my favourites. I can even smell the subtle honey notes. To me, Jasmine just screams “spring”.

Henny: This one was a surprise, given my preference for food and florals, but it won me over at first sniff. Its masculine and sensual scent awakens a more romantic mood.

Apple Pie: My absolute favourite seasonal scent, and another candle that really captures the scent of an apple pie baking in the oven… right down to the crust! To me, Apple Pie really encapsulates what I love most about autumn.

Such a unique scent that continues to grow on me! I was so excited to discover Bask Hour’s Asian-inspired collection, and this one surprised me the most. I love the hint of sandalwood mellowed out by creamy vanilla, which feels deeply grounding yet comforting.

I don’t need to travel to India to find myself anymore! My room is a temple now

Such a great scent. It's clean and perfectly refreshing. My moms favourite pls don't discontinue😭😭

Le mélange fruité et vanillé est absolument merveilleux. Quand j’en fini une, j’en rachète une.

À chaque fois que je sens cette chandelle, je me transporte au chalet de mes parents, la seule place où j’avais le droit de manger des froot loops. Ça sent l’enfance et la magie.

Bask Hour's versions of familiar scents always keeps me on my toes. Their version of eucalyptus is richer than other eucalyptus candles, offering a superior scent. It's perfect when I'm trying to relax.

I have been using this spray daily for months and it's hands down my fav product. The smell is to die for, it's pet safe and you can use it literally anywhere! I sometimes spray it on my clothes and always get asked what the scent is. After months of using I haven't finished the bottle yet. I'll definitely purchase again!

omgg I bought it for my friend's birthday and Immediately got her to light it and the scent that came out. Wowo its so addicting and comforting, perfect for our wine and cheese night. I'll have to buy my own ASAP . Y'all truly killed it so happy Bao&Lou keep up the fantabulous work

I walk into my apartment and become so happy smelling this in my space. I love the candle so having the reed diffuser for this scent is ideal for me, it smells like one of my favourite bask hour smells all the time in my home!

Bought this candle on a whim, and its so good. Usually im hesitant about buying gourmand candles since they can be overpowering, but this one isnt as sweet.

As an avid boba fan and a lover of candles, this was right up my alley. She's sweet and delicious, but not in an overwhelming way

Cannot say how much I love this candle enough, she's so cozy and I'm already halfway through after only a week of receiving my package, I need to replenish asap!!

Love having this reed diffuser in my washroom, I love the citrusy scent and it smells so fresh
