Star Wars has always been about more than lightsabers and stormtroopers. At its heart it is a story about people: about rebellion, resilience, sacrifice, and love. And if you ask my son Eric, it is also the greatest thing ever made.
So when Eric asked whether we could make a Star Wars candle, it turned into something we love doing: matching characters to the scents we already make. That is how these Andor candle scents came about, seven characters, each paired with a fragrance from our everyday Honey Willow range, chosen to fit exactly who they are. Think of it as a scent-led rewatch. A small love letter to the rebels, the radicals, and the quietly courageous.
Eric’s pick, for the record, was Midnight Noir. Bold, mysterious, and quietly powerful. No surprise there.
Meet the characters behind the Andor candle scents
Every scent here was matched to a character’s spirit, not their costume. Here is which fragrance suits who, and why.
Cassian Andor: Leather and Oudh
He never asked to be a hero. He became one anyway. Gritty, complex, and loyal to the cause, Cassian is a person built layer by layer, and his scent is the same. Leather and Oudh is earthy, smoky, and quietly intense, the smell of someone who has already decided to see it through, whatever it costs.
Mon Mothma: Champagne and Strawberries
All elegance on the surface, all turmoil underneath. Mon Mothma balances diplomacy and danger with a poise that never slips, even when everything beneath it is on fire. Champagne and Strawberries captures exactly that, something celebratory and refined on top with a quiet depth underneath. Rebellion served in crystal glassware.
Dedra Meero: Beachside Breeze
Sharp. Unrelenting. Ambitious. Dedra’s precision cuts through the noise like a blade, and so does this scent. Beachside Breeze is cool and invigorating, like a gust of salt wind off a cliff edge. Clean, commanding, and impossible to ignore.
Luthen Rael: Sandalwood
He plays every side with masterful strategy and hides his sacrifice beneath luxury. Sandalwood brings that duality to life: rich, grounded, with a whisper of something ancient and wise underneath. A scent for secret missions and deeper truths.
Bix Caleen: Midnight Noir
Loyal. Fierce. Resilient. Bix never stops fighting, even when the walls close in. Midnight Noir carries her strength with a touch of mystery, intoxicating florals wrapped in defiance and grit. Eric’s favourite, and honestly, a hard one to beat.
Saw Gerrera: Emerald Canopy
Wild. Untamed. Unapologetically radical. Saw lives in the shadows of the forest, waging the war others are too careful to fight. Emerald Canopy is his match: deep, green, and raw, with no room for compromise.
Why scent?
Because scent is storytelling. It reaches emotion, memory, and atmosphere faster than almost anything else. When you light a candle or turn a diffuser, you are not just filling a room, you are stepping into a scene, a feeling, a moment.
This collection is not about replicating props or costumes. It is about embodying character, presence, and purpose. And maybe, just maybe, lighting a small moment of rebellion in your own space. If you love this kind of pairing, it is a bit of a habit of ours. We have matched candles to the ladies and gentlemen of the ton in Bridgerton and to the characters of Emily in Paris too.
Candles or diffusers: which rebel ritual is yours?
Most of our scents come in more than one form: Aurora soy candles for a proper glow, travel-friendly candle tins, and reed diffusers for fragrance without a flame. Not every scent comes in every format, so it is worth a browse to find your character’s fragrance in the shape you want.
A reed diffuser is the constant, quiet reminder that the fight is always simmering in the background. It works while you do, no flame needed. A candle is for the evenings when the lights dim and you want something bold to ground you, a few minutes that belong only to you.
Pick your favourite rebel. Choose your mood. Then find them in the shop.
Are Honey Willow candles eco-friendly?
Yes. Every Honey Willow candle is poured from EcoSoya soy-blend wax, a clean-burning, plant-based wax, and our reed diffusers follow the same considered approach. Bringing a little of the rebellion into your home should not cost the planet. You can read more about why we choose soy wax if you like the detail.
From our home to yours
This whole idea came to life through a conversation between a Star Wars mad kid and his candle-making mum at the kitchen table. Eric even dreamed up his own young Jedi to sit alongside the crew, because in our house creativity has no age limit, and fandom is something you feel, share, and yes, smell.
So whether you are rewatching the series from the start, revisiting your favourite Star Wars film, or you simply love a good scent story, there is a Honey Willow scent here with your name, or your favourite rebel’s, on it. Rebellions are built on hope. Ours just happens to smell incredible.

We paired seven characters with seven fragrances from our everyday range: Cassian Andor with Leather and Oudh, Mon Mothma with Champagne and Strawberries, Dedra Meero with Beachside Breeze, Luthen Rael with Sandalwood, Bix Caleen with Midnight Noir, and Saw Gerrera with Emerald Canopy. Each pairing matches the character’s personality rather than a specific scene.

Which scent should I choose?
Choose by the character you love or the mood you are after. Reach for Leather and Oudh or Sandalwood for warm, grounded, woody scents, Champagne and Strawberries or Midnight Noir for depth with a little glamour, and Beachside Breeze or Emerald Canopy for something fresh and green. Most come as an Aurora soy candle, a candle tin, or a reed diffuser, depending on the fragrance.
