Handcrafted Soy Candles in the Philippines — Made for Stillness and Storytelling

A Gathering of Scent, Light, and Story

Hand-poured soy candles inspired by stillness and warmth. Made in Davao, crafted for calm.

A candle is more than scent. It’s presence. It’s pause. It’s a moment held in flame.

At Dap-ayan, we craft soy candles inspired by ritual and reflection — made for those who seek stillness in a world that rarely slows down. Each candle is hand-poured in small batches in Davao using clean, natural ingredients: soy wax, phthalate-free fragrance, and a choice of wood or cotton wick for a steady, tunneling-free burn.

But our name holds the deeper heart of what we do.

Dap-ayan refers to a communal gathering place in Ilocano culture — a space where people come together to share food, stories, warmth, and time.

It’s a word that symbolizes connection, community, and shared experience — values we hope each candle can bring into your home.

Whether you’re lighting one for rest, ritual, or memory, Dap-ayan is here to scent your space with intention. Because scent is not just something we smell — it’s something we feel.

And sometimes, it brings us home.
