Hunter Candles

An Inner West institution.
Hunter Candles is unapologetically cool, a brand born in a Newtown backyard and now housed in a light filled industrial space on King Street. Every candle reflects the creative energy and community spirit of the neighbourhood, blending grit with beauty and turning scent into something unforgettable.

Scent with soul.
Each Hunter Candles blend is crafted from a muse, a memory or a fleeting moment. Nostalgic yet new, familiar yet surprising, these scents are designed to stir emotion, to reawaken the senses, soothe the soul or ignite desire. At Hunter the belief is simple, the right candle can transform a mood and make you feel extraordinary.

The maker.
Founder and creator Vianney Hunter channels the graffiti marked streets and industrial laneways of Newtown into every candle she hand pours. With a background steeped in design and a lifelong love of scent, Vianney brings together earthen tones, raw textures and deeply personal inspiration to shape the Hunter collection. Each candle is still made by hand, preserving the craft of candle making and ensuring every piece carries the maker’s mark.

The Hunter ethos.
Hunter Candles embodies everything Vianney is about, bold, subversive and effortlessly stylish. More than just candles, they are olfactory experiences: gritty, intriguing and inherently grungy, yet always sophisticated. This is scent with attitude, designed for those who want more than fragrance, they want a feeling.
