Orlando-based Votive Candle Co is redefining luxury candles with a focus on wellness, eco-conscious materials, and artisan craftsmanship helping women create calm, toxin-free sanctuaries at home.
A Spark That Started with Purpose
In 2022, Daniela Stancescu lit more than a candle, she sparked a movement toward cleaner living. What began as a personal passion for wellness and craftsmanship grew into Votive Candle Co (Votive), a boutique studio, in the heart of Orlando, now known for blending artistry with intention. Unlike mass-produced brands, Votive’s creations are as much about health and purity as they are about beauty.
For Daniela, the inspiration was clear. The world didn’t need another candle company. It needed one that refused compromise a brand that believed a candle should nourish both the air we breathe and the souls who gather around it.
From Wax to Wellness
At the core of Votive’s mission is a radical simplicity: pure ingredients, thoughtfully crafted. Each candle is made from 100% non-GMO soy waxand infused with therapeutic-grade essential oilsor premium, non-toxic fragrancesalways held to the highest respiratory safety standards.
Where others blend synthetics into “natural” formulas, Votive takes a stand. Aromatherapy candles are designed under the guidance of certified aromatherapists, ensuring each formula delivers real, measurable wellness benefits. Sculptural designs over 100 unique, hand-finished models serve as functional art, doubling as décor and conversation pieces.
Daniela captures the ethos best:
“We believe a candle shouldn’t just smell good, it should do good. For your body, your space, and your peace of mind.”
Sculpting Beauty, Breathing Clean
One look at Votive’s sculptural candle collection makes clear that this is not a brand content with the ordinary. From intricate designs that mimic fine art sculptures to minimal, modern silhouettes, these pieces are proof that candles can live at the intersection of functionality, beauty, and wellness.
Every piece is hand-finished, a process that not only ensures quality but also celebrates individuality. No two candles are exactly the same a subtle nod to the uniqueness of each home they are destined to illuminate.
Building Trust Through Authenticity
What makes Votive’s story compelling is not only its products but its philosophy. Trust in today’s wellness market is hard-earned, and Votive achieves it by being radically transparent. Ingredients are clearly disclosed. Packaging is eco-conscious. Production is meticulous and small-scale, ensuring every candle that leaves the Orlando studio meets the highest standard of purity and design.

Another shared:
“The candle is beautiful and perfect. I’m so happy with my purchase because the candle is perfect with my decor… and I was surprised to find a free gift inside.”
Such testimonials speak to more than satisfaction they highlight the experience of being cared for, of receiving more than a product.
