Hand-poured in small batches from Pune

Hand-poured in Pune

Make the room feel softer.

Hand-poured candles for the hour when the lights go low, the room gets quiet, and the day finally feels like yours.

Make the room feel softer.

Somewhere quiet, just after nine.

Not just scent. Atmosphere.

The moment after the match.

The idea

Not just scent. Atmosphere.

Pavos candles are poured for the moment after the match is struck - when fragrance opens, light softens the room, and an ordinary corner begins to feel considered.

Poured in small batches

Never more than the studio can pour, label, and pack with care.

Tested for cold & hot throw

Beautiful in the jar - and still present once the room warms up.

Soy wax. Cotton wick.

A clean 30–35 hour burn, in a glass jar worth keeping.

Find your scent

Not sure where to begin?

Answer a few questions about your room, your mood, and the hour you usually light a candle. We'll narrow the room down for you.

Not sure where to begin?

Tested by flame

Beautiful before the flame. Better after it.

Some candles smell lovely in the jar and disappear when lit. Pavos candles are tested for both cold throw and hot throw, so the fragrance holds its presence when the room actually needs it.

Cold Throw

Cold Throw

The first impression when you lift the lid.

Hot Throw

Hot Throw

The way the scent moves once the wax begins to melt.

The ritual

The first burn matters.

A candle is a slow object. Give it five small courtesies and it repays you for thirty hours.

Ended gently, ready for tomorrow.

Ended gently, ready for tomorrow.

01

Trim the wick

Five millimetres, before every single burn.

02

Let the wax reach the edge

The first pool decides every burn after it.

03

Do not rush the flame

Two to three hours. The candle keeps its own time.

04

Stop before the jar runs dry

Leave the last centimetre of wax to rest.

05

Reuse the glass

Warm water, a quiet rinse, and the jar begins again.

A second beginning.

Poured, labelled, and packed by the same hands.

The Studio

A second beginning.

Pavos began, paused, and returned. Not as a loud launch, but as a quieter second beginning from the same Pune studio - hand-poured, labelled, packed, and sent by same hands that still believes a candle can change the way a day ends.

“if you light one and it makes a corner of your day feel softer, that’s the whole point.”

In their words

Rooms they've changed.

A few of the people who've let a Pavos candle become part of their evenings.

Exactly what I needed after work

I light this almost every evening after work. The jasmine isn't overpowering—it's soft and calming. My entire bedroom feels peaceful within 20 minutes. Already ordered another one.

Smells like an expensive boutique

I honestly didn't expect this level of quality. The fragrance feels luxurious and fills my living room without being overwhelming. The packaging was beautiful too.

Comfort in a jar

This smells warm, cozy and slightly nostalgic. It reminds me of winter evenings with hot chocolate. Burns evenly and lasts much longer than I expected.

Perfect for reading

Bought this for my reading corner and now it's part of my evening routine. Fresh, clean scent that helps me relax without distracting me.

Vacation vibes at home

The fragrance instantly reminded me of a beach holiday. Fresh, airy and calming. The candle looks beautiful even when it's not lit.

Date night essential

Warm, rich and sophisticated. I lit it during dinner at home and everyone asked where the fragrance was coming from. Definitely feels premium.

Autumn in India

Never thought I'd enjoy an autumn-inspired fragrance this much. It's warm, comforting and slightly spicy without being too sweet.

Brightens the room

The citrus notes are refreshing and cheerful. Perfect for mornings while working from home. It burns cleanly and looks gorgeous on my desk.

For people who notice small things.

Boxed, ribboned, and remembered.

Gifting Atelier

For people who notice small things.

Candles make quiet gifts - personal, useful, and remembered every time they are lit.
