Inspired by travelling, Roam was created with a love of the world and a commitment to sustainability. Each candle is hand-poured locally into ceramic vessels available in two colours to match any home decor style. Best of all, the signature scents are available as refills that fit seamlessly back into the vessels.

Using a natural soy wax blend and essential oils, Homecoming is one of Vancouver’s best candle brands. Making it easy to determine your preferences, the colour-coded labels categorize each of the scents into one of three categories: refreshing, grounding, or warming.
