What is Circus?
Circus is a luxury candle brand that merges fragrance, fashion, and design. Each candle is wrapped in a sculptural textile “skin,” turning scent into an experience you can both feel and see.
Who founded Circus?
Circus was founded by Lee Lenox, a designer and fragrance lover who wanted candles to be as expressive and collectible as fashion objects.
What makes Circus candles different from other luxury candles?
Our candles are wrapped in sculptural textile “skins,” blending bold design with expressive fragrance. They are designed as objects of art, not just scent.
Why is it called Circus?
Like a circus, our world is layered, expressive, and made for many moods - all welcome here.

How strong is the scent throw?
Our candles are designed with a medium-to-strong throw that fills a room without overwhelming it.
Are your candles clean-burning or non-toxic?
Yes. All Circus candles are made with a custom soy wax blend, phthalate-free fragrance oils, and cotton wicks for a cleaner burn.
What kind of wicks do you use?
We use clean-burning, lead-free cotton wicks for a safer, more even burn.

Each candle burns for approximately 60–65 hours.
Can I reuse the vessel once the candle is finished?
Yes. Our vessels are designed to live on as decor, storage, or art.

No. The wraps are engineered to withstand heat and secured to the glass. Always burn on a flat, heat-safe surface.
