Born and raised in South Africa, I’ve always been inspired by the breathtaking beauty of the land—the wild smells of the African bush, the refreshing notes of the ocean breeze, and the calming warmth of a crackling fire. When I moved to the United States, I realized just how much I missed those natural scents, that deep connection to nature.

That’s when YEBO Candles was born.

YEBO means "YES" in Zulu—an affirmation of life, an expression of positivity, and the essence of what we want our candles to bring to you: the warmth, peace, and beauty of nature’s purest smells.

I wanted to create something that would bring a little bit of South Africa into people’s homes and offer them an experience that goes beyond just a candle.

Our slogan says it all: Light it, Love it, YEBO! Every time you light one of our candles, we want you to say YES to cozy nights, YES to clean living, YES to handcrafted luxury, and YES to creating that perfect ambiance.

YEBO Candles isn’t just about fragrance—it’s about feeling good, inside and out. Our candles are designed to spark moments of connection, relaxation, and joy.

We believe in the power of nature, and we’re committed to bringing the essence of Africa’s landscapes into your space. When you light a YEBO candle, you’re not just filling the room with a beautiful scent—you’re embracing the spirit of South Africa and saying YES to life.
