Handmade candles

The fire of small pleasures.

Small-batch candles poured by hand with soy and coconut wax. Made to bring you home and slow the day down.

Soy and coconut wax Small batches Handmade in the Canary Islands
01 It started with a friendship

Two pairs of hands, one table and plenty of calm.

Pabilo began the way good things do: two friends, one afternoon, trying out waxes in the kitchen. We loved how a home smells when everything winds down and only one light is left burning.

We pour every batch by hand, in small quantities, without rushing. Natural wax, scents you recognise, no strange smoke. Local and close to home is not a label for us: it is how we work.

The blending table

What if you blend two scents?

These are the blends we have already tried in the studio. Pick a scent and its partner, and we will tell you what comes out.

03 Wax melts

Scent without a flame.

Small pieces of scented wax, with no wick, made purely to perfume a room. They melt slowly in a burner and fill the house with a rich, lasting scent.

Order them in your favourite scent

How to use them

Place one or more pieces in your burner. The heat melts them slowly and releases their fragrance. Once the wax stops giving off scent, take it out and add a fresh piece.

Why people love them

They scent a room beautifully without an open flame, let you switch fragrance easily, and are a safe, practical choice for a home or a business.

Candle or wax melt?

A candle gives light and scent at once; a wax melt is made only to perfume. That is why it has no wick and needs a separate heat source.

04 To give

A gift that stays with you.

A candle made by hand says more than anything bought in a hurry. We will help you get it just right.

Made-to-measure sets

You choose the scents and we put together a beautiful set, ready to give without you having to think about a thing.

A handwritten card

We write your message by hand on a card and tuck it into the parcel. The detail that makes the difference.

Weddings and events

Favours for your guests, in whatever quantity you need. Tell us your idea and we will send you a proposal.

02

We make it

Poured by hand, in small quantities. Every candle rests before it leaves us. That takes a few days.

Carefully wrapped, ready to light or to give. Local delivery or shipping, whichever you prefer.

06 Frequently asked questions

What people usually ask us.

How long does a candle burn for?

It depends on the size, but ours give between 40 and 50 hours of scent. We list the approximate burn time on every candle.

How do I get the most out of my candle?

The first time, let it burn until the whole surface has melted (that stops it tunnelling). Trim the wick to about 5 mm before each use, and never burn it for more than 4 hours at a time.

What wax are they made with?

With natural soy and coconut wax. They burn clean, with no strange smoke, and hold their scent right to the end.

Do you ship?

Yes. Hand delivery on the island, and shipping to the rest of the Canaries and mainland Spain. Tell us where you are and we will confirm timing and cost.

Can I ask for a particular scent or blend?

Of course. Beyond the collection we make custom blends and special orders. Write to us and we will work it out together.
