A candle for the rebellion: Fragrances inspired by Andor
Star Wars has always been about more than lightsabers and stormtroopers. At its core, it’s a story about people—about rebellion, resilience, sacrifice, and love. And if you ask my son Eric, it’s also the greatest thing to ever exist.
So when he asked if we could make a Star Wars-inspired candle, it sparked something bigger. What if we could capture the spirit of Andor—one of the most human and emotionally layered Star Wars stories to date—not through merch, but through scent? His favourite scent? Midnight Noir—bold, mysterious, and quietly powerful (no surprise there).
With the upcoming release of Andor Season 2, we decided to reflect on our favourite characters and what makes them unforgettable. What started as a little idea between a mum and her son has grown into this: a love letter to the rebels, the radicals, and the quietly courageous. And a reminder that even in the darkest galaxy, there’s beauty to be found.
Meet the characters: Fragrance pairings from a galaxy not so far away
Cassian Andor – Leather & Oudh
He didn’t ask to be a hero. But he became one anyway. Gritty, complex, and loyal to the cause, Cassian’s scent is layered and grounded. Leather & Oudh is the perfect match—earthy, smoky, and quietly intense.
Mon Mothma – French Vanilla & Bourbon
All elegance on the surface, all turmoil underneath. Mon Mothma balances diplomacy and danger with grace. French Vanilla & Bourbon captures her poise, with a hint of something bolder beneath—like 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 salty wind off a cliffside coast—clean, commanding, and impossible to ignore.
Luthen Rael – Sandalwood
He plays both sides with masterful strategy and hides his sacrifice beneath luxury. Sandalwood brings that duality to life—rich, grounded, with a subtle whisper of something ancient and wise. A scent for secret missions and deeper truths.
Bix Caleen – Midnight Noir
She’s loyal. Fierce. Resilient. Bix never stops fighting, even when the walls close in. Midnight Noir evokes her strength with a touch of mystery—intoxicating florals wrapped in defiance and grit.
Saw Gerrera – Emerald Canopy
Wild. Untamed. Unapologetically radical. Saw Gerrera lives in the shadows of the forest, waging war in ways others fear to. Emerald Canopy is his match—deep, green, and raw, with no room for compromise.
Why scent?
Because scent is storytelling. It evokes emotion, memory, and atmosphere. When you light a candle or pass a diffuser, you’re creating more than ambiance—you’re stepping into a scene, a feeling, a moment.
This collection isn’t about replicating props or costumes. It’s about embodying character, presence, and purpose. And maybe, just maybe, creating a little moment of rebellion in your own space.

From our home to yours
This campaign came to life through a conversation between a Star Wars-loving kid and his candle-making mum. It reminded us that creativity has no age limit, and that fandom can be felt, shared, and even smelled.
So whether you’re gearing up for Season 2, rewatching Season 1, your favourite Star Wars movie, or just love a good scent story—these candles and diffusers are for you.
