Who we are

Oli was the dream of a Sydney-sider to run their own business, support their community in a different way, and to find more reason to spend time on a personal passion and hobby. Thousands of candles, multiple big shop loyalty programs, and exploring hundreds of candle market stalls later - Oli was created.

Simple, natural, supporting local, and big ambitions for the future drives what and how we operate.

Oli's mission: make amazing smelling candles by adding the most scent into the candles we pour, sold at a price you'll love by taking out the unhelpful bells and whistles, and growing our business honestly and transparently so that we can do more good in our local community.

Finally, what's in a name? That which we call Oli. Short for Oliver, it's the middle name of the creator, and more importantly a proclamation to the now inherited middle name of his beloved godson.

Supporting Community

We're committed to community. Oli was started by a creator who has been involved in charitable work, and working for not-for-profit organisations focussed on improving and benefiting the community.

Community starts at home, so we source all our products locally. Small businesses and local wholesalers get our support and partnership.

Each month, a donation is made from the proceeds that Oli makes. For every purchase $2 gets banked for a monthly donation to a nominated charity, not-for-profit, or community organisation.

Want to nominate a charity, NFP, community organisation? No worries, we'd love you to! Head over to our Contact Us page and send us an email to let us know. Make sure to tell us why you think they're the best.
