Home Fragrance & Candles

Nocturne

Lebanese brand of non-toxic scented candles, pearled wax sets and reed diffusers, handcrafted from scratch.

Nocturne

Mirjane Hage started making candles as a university student because she could not find home fragrance that was both elegant and free of toxic ingredients. She launched Nocturne at 21, and every candle and reed diffuser is still handcrafted from scratch. Besides classic poured candles, the brand sells a Moon Sand pearled candle set: loose, unscented wax pearls that you pour into any heat-resistant glass, add one of the included wicks, and light. Leftover pearls can be reused, so the set doubles as a refill. The Aromatic Gift Set pairs a 180 ml candle with a 150 ml reed diffuser and comes in five fragrances. The range is aimed at gifting and everyday use, and is sold through the Wakilni marketplace for delivery in Lebanon.
