Classic Soy Candles
The Classic Collection is where it all started. The original Mimi & August scents that have become fan favourites over the years. From the crisp, woodsy notes of Alpes (our best seller) to the ocean-fresh breeze of Mare, the cozy warmth of Topaze, and the tropical sweetness of Coco Mango, each fragrance is hand-poured at our South Shore of Montreal workshop using 100% natural soy wax, non-toxic fragrance oils, and a lead-free cotton wick. Every candle comes in a reusable ceramic cup designed by co-founder and illustrator Camille Forcherio. Once the wax is gone, pop in a refill or use the cup as your new favourite mug.
The Original Scents That Started It All
The Classic Collection features the very first fragrances Mimi & August ever created scents that have earned a loyal following and continue to be our most-loved candles. Alpes brings the freshness of balsam, cedar, and eucalyptus into your home. Mare captures the calm of ocean water, sea salt, and mint. Topaze layers sandalwood, coconut, and vanilla into something warm and sophisticated. Coco Mango blends tropical coconut milk with ripe mango for a sun-soaked feel. Petit Jardin opens with bright, blooming water lily notes. And Montreal a local favourite pairs dark rose with palo santo and amber. Each scent is available as an 8 oz reusable candle, a 2 oz mini, and a refill.

Reusable Ceramic Cups Designed by Camille Forcherio
Every candle in the Classic Collection comes in a ceramic cup illustrated by co-founder and designer Camille Forcherio. Each design reflects the personality of the scent inside from the alpine greens of Alpes to the colourful neighbourhood of Montreal. Once the candle has burned down, clean the cup, drop in a soy wax refill, and keep enjoying. Or use it as a coffee mug, a desk organiser, or a planter. The reusable cup is what sets Mimi & August apart, less waste, more character, and a candle that never really ends.
Clean Ingredients, Hand-Poured in Montreal
Every Classic Collection candle is hand-poured at our South Shore of Montreal workshop using 100% natural soy wax, phthalate-free fragrance oils, and a lead-free cotton wick. No paraffin, no synthetic dyes, no harmful additives. The result is a clean, even burn with strong scent throw that fills a room without irritating sensitive noses. Pair your candle with a handmade ceramic tealight holder or browse our candle accessories to complete the ritual.
