Welcome to your new morning ritual—with attitude.
Introducing Motley Brew, the boldest, most unapologetic coffee-scented candle this side of 1989. Inspired by gritty diners, backstage caffeine fixes, and the smell of rebellion before noon, this candle delivers the raw, earthy aroma of a fresh coffee shop—no frills, no foam hearts, just the way Gen X likes it.
If your idea of self-care includes blasting cassette tapes, drinking your coffee black, and telling the world to deal with it, Motley Brew is your new go-to flame. Because nothing says “I’ve lived” like the scent of a bitter roast cutting through the chaos of adulthood.
Motley Brew hits hard—just like your favorite cup of diner coffee or that first sip before your Walkman boots up.
Top Notes: Strong black coffee, roasted espresso beans
Middle Notes: Ground coffee, bittersweet mocha
Base Notes: Warm earth, toasted sugar, a whisper of nostalgia
Part caffeine fix. Part soul revival. All Gen X.
Motley Brew is more than a coffee candle—it’s a time machine back to late-night cram sessions, early morning hangovers, and band rehearsals in someone’s mom’s garage. It’s the comforting chaos of that first job at the local record store, the buzz of freedom, and the scent of adulthood just starting to brew.
Burn it while working late, relaxing on the porch, or just existing like the sarcastic legend you are. This isn’t just a bold coffee-scented candle, it’s a tribute to mornings that mattered and nights that never ended.

100% natural soy wax
Wooden wicks for cleaner burn and a retro feel
Recyclable jars and packaging
Zero phthalates, parabens, or weird toxins
