Candle Accessories

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.

Each classic scent is available in three formats: a 2 oz mini candle (up to 12 hours of burn time), an 8 oz reusable candle in a ceramic cup (up to 50 hours), and soy wax refills in 3 oz, 5.5 oz, and 11 oz sizes.
What makes the classic candle cups reusable?

The 8 oz candles come in illustrated ceramic cups designed by Camille Forcherio. Once the candle has burned down, clean the cup with warm water and drop in a soy wax refill or repurpose it as a mug, planter, or desk organiser.
Which classic scent is the best seller?

Alpes has been our best-selling candle fragrance since the beginning, loved for its fresh, woodsy blend of greens, balsam, cedar, and eucalyptus. Montreal is another top pick, especially as a locally inspired gift.
Can I mix classic scents with exclusive scents?

Absolutely. You can burn a classic candle alongside an exclusive candle, or use refills to switch between collections in the same reusable cup. The refills are the same size and shape across both lines.
What is the difference between the classic and exclusive collections?

The Classic Collection features our original, permanent fragrances the scents that have been part of Mimi & August from the start. The Exclusive Collection offers limited-edition or seasonal scents that rotate throughout the year. Both use the same soy wax, cotton wicks, and reusable ceramic cups.

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.
