What exactly goes into a natural soy candle fragrance? And how do you create a scent that fills a room without compromising your health or the environment?
At SOJA&CO., we believe you deserve to know what's in the products you bring into your home. Every fragrance we create is vegan, phthalate-free and designed to deliver a rich scent experience without the harmful chemicals found in conventional candles.
This spring, we're introducing three fragrances that capture the essence of the season — purity, freshness and calm: Thyme + Coconut, Oakmoss + Bergamot, and White Cotton + Fresh Linen.
Let's break down the natural ingredients and scent notes behind each one, so you can find the fragrance that matches your idea of spring.
Why the Ingredients in Your Candles Matter
Not all candles are created equal. Many conventional candles are made with petroleum-based paraffin wax, synthetic fragrances loaded with phthalates and wicks that release harmful particles when burned.
Over time, these compounds can affect the air quality inside your home — and most consumers have no idea what's actually in the candles they light every day.
At SOJA&CO., every candle is made with 100% natural soy wax and vegan, phthalate-free fragrances. Our products are hand-poured in Canada, and we choose each ingredient carefully to ensure a clean burn.
Making a product that smells beautiful should never come at the cost of your well-being. That's why we're pulling back the curtain on our three spring creations.

Thyme + Coconut: Where Herbs Meet Tropical Softness
The first newcomer in our spring 2026 collection is a surprising blend. Thyme + Coconut balances herbal freshness with gentle, creamy warmth — a fragrance that feels both grounding and uplifting.
The Scent Pyramid
Top notes — What you smell first: pink pepper brings a subtle spice, coconut water adds a creamy opening and morning mist creates an impression of freshness, like a window thrown open at dawn.
Heart notes — What unfolds after a few minutes: chamomile flower and thyme leaf form a soothing herbal duo, complemented by delicate florals that soften the blend.
Base notes — What lingers longest: white woods, vanilla pod and amber create a warm, enveloping foundation that extends the experience long after you've left the room.
More Than a Candle
What makes Thyme + Coconut unique in our collection is its versatility. It's the most widely available fragrance this season, with six different products: candle, reed diffuser, hand soap, room spray, all-purpose cleaner and dish soap.
Imagine your entire home wrapped in this herbal, gentle fragrance — from the kitchen to the living room.

Oakmoss + Bergamot: The Woody Elegance of Spring
Our second new fragrance is for those who prefer something deeper and more grounded. Oakmoss + Bergamot evokes a walk through the forest in spring, when the moss is damp and the first rays of sunlight filter through the trees.
The Scent Pyramid
Top notes — Coconut water brings an unexpected freshness, orange adds a bright citrus spark and violet introduces a delicate floral touch. It's a lively opening that captures your attention.
Heart notes — Jasmine delivers a rich floral depth, while tonka bean adds nuances of caramel and almond. Amber ties it all together with a golden warmth. This is sophisticated fragrance territory.
Base notes — Earthy patchouli, oakmoss and vanilla pod form a deep, enveloping base. This combination is what gives the fragrance its distinctive character and lasting presence.
Non-Toxic Doesn't Mean Boring
Oakmoss + Bergamot proves that a hand-poured, artisan candle made in Canada can rival high-end perfumery — without compromising on natural ingredients.
Available as an 8oz candle and a reed diffuser, it's the ideal fragrance for creating a refined atmosphere in a home office, living room or bedroom. If you tend to reach for woodsy, earthy scents in your personal fragrance, this one will feel like a natural extension of your style.
White Cotton + Fresh Linen: Purity Rediscovered
Some fragrances stay with you. White Cotton + Fresh Linen is one of those beloved classics that our community kept asking for, and we're thrilled to bring it back this spring — with a brand new linen water format.
The Scent Pyramid
Top notes — Fresh air and crisp aldehydes create that instant feeling of cleanliness. Lemon water adds a bright spark, and lilac brings a floral touch of spring.
Heart notes — White cotton flower sits at the centre of this fragrance — soft, reassuring and familiar. Rosewater and orange blossom enrich the blend with a refined floral sweetness.
Base notes — Oak provides structure, iris butter adds a creamy velvet texture and fresh musk extends that just-washed sensation. It's comfort in a jar.
New Linen Water Format
The big news this season: White Cotton + Fresh Linen is now available as a 100ml linen water for just $12. Spritz it on your sheets, pillows or curtains to carry that feeling of freshness into every moment. Pair it with the candle and hand soap for a home that truly breathes cleanliness.

How to Choose the Right Fragrance for You
With three distinct scent worlds, the right choice depends on what spring means to you:
Looking for freshness and versatility? Thyme + Coconut is your match. Its herbal character and six product options make it perfect for a cohesive natural fragrance throughout your home.
Love woody, sophisticated scents? Oakmoss + Bergamot will win you over with its depth and character. It's our most "perfumery" fragrance this season.
Want pure, simple comfort? White Cotton + Fresh Linen is a classic for a reason. Its clean-laundry freshness creates an instantly calming atmosphere.
And if you're still undecided, remember there's no wrong choice — just different atmospheres to create in your everyday life. Many of our customers use two different fragrances in separate rooms to vary the mood.
