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.

Locally Made, Nationally Loved

While opening the package, ang bango na. Haha! Yung description is very on point “calming fragrance” unlike other scented candles na lavender smell na na try ko, ito ibaaa like literal na it promotes relaxation, stress relief, and cozy ambiance kaya nilagay ko sa desk ko.

Super love the product. Grabe parcel pa lang, ang bango bango na. Lakas maka 5star hotel ang amoy ng candles, tinalo pa ang airfreshener sa Podium at Shang Mall.
Mas lalong lumabas ang scent when used with candle warmer. Love it.
Honey
ginawang carfreshener kasi masyado raw mabango

Ang bango + aesthetic pa. True to description yung scent, especially yung coffee nakaka-addict. Di ko pa natatry magamit kasi ang dami ko pang candles but this looks like anice addition to my scented candles collection.
