After Hours Gourmet Soy Candle – 8 oz
Sophisticated, warm and quietly bold, After Hours Gourmet Soy Candle is the kind of fragrance that completely changes the atmosphere of a room. Fresh ozone opens the scent before giving way to soft violet, iris and balsam, with sandalwood, leather and amber creating a rich, grounded finish.
The result is an elevated home fragrance with depth — fresh at first, softly floral through the middle and warm, woody and sophisticated at the base.
Hand-poured in small batches in Canada, this 8 oz soy candle is made with a cotton wick and no added colour. Its clear blue glass jar gives After Hours a modern, elevated look that fits beautifully into living rooms, bedrooms, offices and other favourite spaces.
Why You'll Love It
After Hours isn't a traditionally sweet candle, and that's exactly what makes it stand out in our Gourmet Candle Collection.
The fragrance opens with fresh ozone, bringing an airy quality before violet, iris and balsam add softness through the heart. Sandalwood, leather and amber provide the depth, warmth and richness that linger underneath.
It's sophisticated without feeling stuffy and warm without relying on sugary gourmand notes.
Light it when company is coming over, while enjoying a drink at the end of the day, during a quiet evening at home or whenever you want your space to feel a little more polished.
Like all of our Gourmet Candles, After Hours features a custom fragrance blend created by Da Bomb Bath Co.
Our Gourmet Collection changes twice a year, making each fragrance limited edition.
How It Helps
Sometimes you're not looking for your home to smell like baking, flowers or fruit. You simply want it to smell really good.
After Hours was made for those moments.
The layered fragrance fills your space while helping mask everyday household odours. At the same time, the glow of the candle creates warmth and atmosphere, helping an everyday room feel more inviting and put together.
It works particularly well in the evening, when you're ready to turn off the bright lights, settle in and change the feeling of your space after a busy day.
It's a simple way to add atmosphere and a touch of affordable luxury to real life.
That's Self-Care for Real Life.

Who It's Perfect For
After Hours is ideal for adults who gravitate toward sophisticated, woody, amber, leather or cologne-inspired home fragrances.
It is also a great choice for someone who finds traditional candles too fruity, floral or sweet.
The sandalwood, leather and amber base gives After Hours a deeper character that may appeal to customers looking for a more masculine-leaning fragrance, while violet, iris and fresh ozone keep the overall scent balanced and versatile.
Light it in a living room before guests arrive, beside you during a quiet evening, in your home office after the workday or anytime you want your space to feel warmer and more elevated.
After Hours also makes a great housewarming, birthday, hostess or holiday gift — particularly when you're not sure the recipient enjoys traditionally sweet candle scents.
How To Use
- Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts and flammable materials.
- Trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch before each burn.
- Light your candle and allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface, particularly during the first burn.
- Do not burn for longer than four hours at a time.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Keep away from children and pets.
- Stop burning when approximately 1/2 inch of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel.
Proper candle care helps encourage a cleaner, more even burn and helps you get the most from your candle.
