While living in Brazil, Bia was on the hunt for a high-quality candle. On her trips to the US, she would stock up on her favorites to share with friends. So coveted were these candles in São Paulo, they only burned on special occasions!

Recognizing the hidden demand, she set out to make her own candles from home. Instinct and curiosity inspired her process.

What makes a good candle? Slow burn. No smoke. Lasting smell. After some trial and error (and a few kitchen fires), the candlemaker mastered her craft.
The result was a clean, colorant-free formulation of wax, wick and scent.

In 2018, Bia moved back to her home state of Florida, determined to break into a new market with an affordable, high-quality creation. In her Sarasota studio, she curated her proprietary blends using only premium ingredients.

The flame was lit, and Bia Candle Co. was born.

Our meticulously handcrafted candles are infused with a rich blend of premium fragrance oils, offering captivating scents inspired by the artistry of perfume. Let the aroma of a Bia candle fill your space and envelop you in quiet luxury.

Bia Antunes is the alchemist behind Bia Candle Co. Inspired by a lifelong love of fragrance and driven by her pursuit of the perfect candle, she developed the exquisite combination of wax, wick, and scent found in her candles today. Bia meticulously crafts each candle by hand from her studio in Sarasota, Florida using only the finest scents and cleanest ingredients.
