This Candle Smells Like VELVET EMPIRE

Ah, Velvet Empire—the Popstars: Boy Meets Girl champions who had the talent, the style, and an absolute bop of a debut single… and then vanished faster than a MuchMusic VJ’s career. If you remember Whatcha Got, congratulations, you’re a true Canadian pop historian. If you don’t, well—that’s exactly why this candle exists.

With five fresh-faced singers, coordinated denim, and a fleeting but fabulous grip on the early-2000s charts, Velvet Empire had all the makings of a legendary pop group… except for, you know, longevity. But for one glorious moment, they were Canada’s answer to Eden’s Crush—except technically co-ed and very technically still in your heart.

Light this candle and relive the days when reality TV could manufacture pop stars overnight, frosted tips were a legitimate fashion choice, and you genuinely believed Velvet Empire would last forever.

Choose Your Signature Scent:

• Vanilla Coconut – Sweet, smooth, and effortlessly comforting—this scent is like a perfectly whipped vanilla sundae with a tropical twist. A warm, creamy blend of classic vanilla and coconut, it’s soft yet playful, wrapping you in cozy nostalgia with just a hint of adventure.

• Noir Suede – Deep, warm, and undeniably intriguing—this scent balances the richness of suede with the smooth depth of sandalwood. A little bit bold, a little bit mysterious, it’s the perfect mix of effortless cool and irresistible charm. 

Hand-poured with renewable plant-based wax, this candle burns for 40 hours—which is approximately 39.5 hours longer than the general public remembered Velvet Empire existed (but you never forgot).

And when the wax is gone? The candlecup sticks around for storing small keepsakes—like your burnt CD mixes, your shattered hopes for a second album, or your growing collection of deeply specific Canadian pop nostalgia.

Features:

✔ Two signature scents: Vanilla Coconut and Noir Suede (sweet, nostalgic, and just a little too good to last—kind of like a Velvet Empire music career).
✔ Renewable plant-based wax—because unlike their chart run, this is actually sustainable.
✔ 40 hours of burn time—which is roughly equal to how long you spent learning the Whatcha Got dance routine in your bedroom.

Pro-tip: Gift this to the one friend who still brings up Velvet Empire unprovoked, or keep it for yourself—because whether you’re streaming their one iconic album or just reminiscing about the golden age of reality TV pop groups, you deserve to bask in the glow of Velvet Empire.

Light it up, and let This Candle Smells Like Velvet Empire take you back to a time when reality TV stardom was fleeting, but a perfectly executed five-person harmony? Timeless.
