Eunoia Candle Co. – The Scent of Beautiful Thinking

Hey friends! If you tuned in to last week’s Feature on Handcrafted by Nature, you already know we have a soft spot for brands that bring a little joy—and a little zen—into our everyday routines. Well, get ready for another dose of delight because today I’m super excited to introduce you to Eunoia Candle Co.

Based out of Baltimore, Eunoia Candle Co. was founded by the lovely Carmyia, who channels the Ancient Greek meaning of “Eunoia”—“well mind” or “beautiful thinking”—into every candle she makes. It’s more than just a pretty word, though. Eunoia is about goodwill, positivity, and the importance of taking care of our mental health. In fact, creating these non-toxic candles started as a form of therapy for Carmyia, and now she’s sharing that soothing energy with the rest of us.

I was fortunate enough to win a giveaway sponsored by this incredible brand, and wow—did the goodies ever deliver! Imagine my excitement unboxing this cozy care package, all while my cat Simba did his best to assist by sleeping in the biodegradable packing peanuts (he’s a huge fan of Eunoia Candle Co. now, too).

Now, on to the best part: the scents! I received a discovery box of six two-ounce sample tins that were basically pure soy wax bliss. Let’s do a quick rundown:

CRISP (Cotton, Coconut, Sandalwood)
Think breezy summer afternoons, white sheets gently swaying on a clothesline, and that nostalgic whiff of fresh laundry. If comfort had a scent, it would be Crisp.
COZY (Vanilla, Patchouli, Jasmine)
This one immediately made me go, “I want this as a roll-on fragrance!” It’s warm, soothing, and a bit mysterious—perfect for your evening unwind routine or a quiet Saturday morning in.
BREATHE (Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Cedarwood)
Light this when you need a mini-retreat from life’s hustle. It’s like hitting the reset button—a breath of fresh air to clear your mind and calm your nerves.
WONDER (Evergreen, Oakmoss, Eucalyptus)
If you love the feeling of a crisp winter walk—cozy hat and scarf included—you’ll love this candle. It’s winter in the best way: refreshing, invigorating, and just a bit magical.
UNWIND (Tobacco, Powder, Leather)
Don’t let the “tobacco and leather” fool you into thinking it’s just a masculine scent. It’s absolutely mesmerizing—like curling up in a plush chair with a good book. One of my faves, hands down.
FIRESIDE (Black Currant, Moss, Amber, Smoke)
This one’s intriguing in all the right ways. It instantly took me back to bonfires on the beaches of Lake Erie—those special moments that make you smile. Such a nostalgic gem.

Let’s talk about their wooden wicks for a second. I’m obsessed. The soft crackle is incredibly soothing—like a mini fireplace that you don’t have to stoke. Plus, it elevates the whole candle experience from “nice scent” to “full-on cozy ambiance.”

But wait, there’s more! My package also included a cute Santa mug, a pair of cozy socks (which my daughter promptly claimed), and a small box of matchsticks with a handy striker sticker—basically everything you need for a candlelit self-care session.
