So, below is a selection from brands we’ve written about in the past, along with new ones we heard about from Beyoncé’s “Black Parade” list, candle obsessives in our group chats, and our Instagram feed.

$25 at Alexandra Winbush Buy Moods by Yemmie It’s Been a Day $20 Yemmie started making candles mid-pandemic, and the brand officially launched last August with four signature scents reflecting different moods. Writer Jenna Milliner-Waddell is a fan of this particular one, which has notes of vanilla and cashmere. Plus, it comes with a crackling wood wick. True to its name, this candle is calming after a rough day, but Milliner-Waddell says it’s the perfect complement to a pretty good one, too.

$32 at Olphactory Candles Buy Bright Black Kingston $28 $28 Bright Black candles will transport you. Their mission is to “make and share high-quality candles that honor the Black Diaspora,” and many of their candles are named after and inspired by “cities of Black greatness” like Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Durham, North Carolina; and Kingston, Jamaica. This Kingston candle will make you feel like you’re on a Caribbean vacation with notes of rum-spiked, grapefruit-flavored Ting and sugar cane.

$45 at Harlem Candle Co. Buy Ysnay Maruzia Candle $69 $69 We’ve previously written about these candles from Martinique-based brand Ysnay, which come in ceramic bowls that are art pieces in their own right. Made from a blend of soy and beeswax, they have a wood wick and a burn time of 70 hours, and they turn into a reusable vessel once the wax is all gone.

From $14 at Joe and Monroe Buy Antik Lakay Victory Candle $32 $32 With a minimal approach to branding and fragrances, Antik Lakay uses a high-quality soy-wax blend and cotton wicks to craft its candles. This one, called Victory, features a blend of cocoa, Rose de Mai, and vanilla — formulated, Lakay says, to make you feel triumphant. These are currently available for preorder and will go into production the first week of September.
