Launching Long Lasting Scented Candles: Defining Quality from Day One

Launching Long Lasting Scented Candles: Defining Quality from Day One

Ben & Co. is a newly launched handcrafted candle brand from London, created for real life as it actually feels busy, overwhelming, and occasionally chaotic. Designed to offer a moment of calm without taking itself too seriously, Ben & Co. brings together long lasting scented candles, premium fragrances, and honest humour.

Each candle is hand-poured using 100% natural soy wax and carefully balanced fragrance oils to deliver a clean, consistent burn and a scent that lasts. Paired with warm, minimal design and relatable phrases, Ben & Co. candles are made to feel personal—like a small reset at the end of a long day.

Because sometimes life feels like it’s on fire. And lighting a candle helps.

Our Approach to Quality at Ben & Co.

Quality at Ben & Co. is not treated as a feature added at the end it is built into every step from the very beginning. As a newly launched brand, the focus has been clear from day one: create long lasting scented candles that perform consistently, feel comforting, and fit naturally into real life.

Each Ben & Co. candle is hand-poured in London in small batches to maintain control over burn quality, scent balance, and finish. This hands-on process allows every candle to be checked for consistency, ensuring a clean, even burn and reliable scent throw from the first light to the last.

We use 100% natural soy wax because it burns slower and cleaner than traditional waxes, helping the fragrance last longer without overwhelming the space. This is paired with premium fragrance oils, carefully measured to deliver a balanced aroma—present, calming, and never overpowering.

Quality also extends beyond performance. Every scent is chosen for its emotional effect, designed to support relaxation, grounding, or comfort. The humorous phrases on each candle are intentional, creating an emotional connection that feels honest and human rather than generic or scripted.

At Ben & Co., quality means candles that burn well, smell right, and feel meaningful. From ingredients to craftsmanship to design, nothing is included without purpose.

Choosing the Right Long Lasting Scented Candles

Fragrance quality and consistency: A long-lasting scented candle should deliver the same balanced aroma from the first burn to the last. High-quality fragrance oils prevent the scent from fading, turning sharp, or becoming overwhelming over time.

Wax type matters: Candles made with 100% natural soy wax burn slower and cleaner than traditional waxes. This not only extends burn time but also allows the fragrance to release gradually and evenly.

Proper wick selection: A well-matched wick ensures an even melt pool, reduces tunnelling, and helps the candle burn efficiently without excess smoke or soot.

Clean and even burn: A quality candle should melt evenly across the surface within the first few hours of burning. This improves scent throw, safety, and overall longevity.

Jar design and safety: Clear or amber glass jars help distribute heat evenly and protect the flame, while also fitting seamlessly into most home interiors.

Room size and placement: The performance of a candle depends on where it’s used. Larger rooms may need stronger but balanced scents, while smaller spaces benefit from softer fragrances.

Purpose-driven fragrances: Calming scents like lavender or sandalwood work best for relaxation and focus, while warm fragrances such as vanilla or amber are ideal for creating a cozy, comforting atmosphere.

Burn testing and reliability: Well-made candles are tested across multiple burns to ensure consistent performance, not just visual appeal.

Emotional and design value: Thoughtful details, including subtle humour or meaningful design elements, create a stronger emotional connection and make the candle feel more personal.

Overall experience: A truly good candle combines quality materials, reliable performance, and intentional design—turning a simple product into an everyday comfort.


Finally, keep this simple idea in mind:

 "A candle is more than just a fragrance—it’s a little moment of calm in a busy day."

When you choose a candle carefully, you’re picking more than just a scent. You’re choosing a long-lasting scented candle, a relaxing soy wax candle, or a premium home candle that helps create a peaceful, comforting environment. A high-quality candle can enhance your well-being, set the mood for relaxation, or make your home feel warm and inviting.

At Ben & Co., every candle is made with this philosophy. We combine premium natural soy wax, high-quality fragrance oils, thoughtful design, and a touch of humour to make each candle feel personal and meaningful. With the right candle, you’re not just lighting a wick—you’re creating a calming ritual, a cozy home ambiance, or a stress-free evening experience that lasts from the very first burn to the last.
