There's something undeniably soothing about an evening spent outdoors. Whether you're dining under the stars, enjoying a quiet moment in the garden, or entertaining friends on the patio, the gentle glow of candlelight brings warmth that enhances the entire experience. But outdoor candles offer more than just ambiance—they can be functional, fragrant, and even protective.

At Hiew, floral, gifts, and home, thoughtful design and natural materials can elevate how you live and unwind. That's why Hiew Collectives includes a curated range of outdoor candles that blend utility with beauty, creating a refined yet relaxed atmosphere in any garden, balcony, or courtyard setting.
1. Creating Atmosphere with Citronella Outdoor Candles
Outdoor candles instantly transform any space into a more inviting, calming setting. The soft flicker of a flame adds a natural charm that's hard to replicate with electric lights. Whether hosting friends or simply enjoying solitude, candles encourage you to slow down and savour the moment.

Our range includes earthy textures and vibrant hues, like the artisan-crafted White Terracotta Bowl and the bold, modern Ceramic Pot Candle, available in rich blue or red. Each piece is chosen not just for its scent but also for its seamless integration into your home's outdoor aesthetic.
2. Naturally Repelling Mosquitoes with Citronella Outdoor Candles
One of the most practical reasons to keep outdoor candles on hand is that they help keep unwanted insects—especially mosquitoes—at bay. Citronella, a natural mosquito repellent, is the hero ingredient in our collection. It's a safe, non-toxic alternative to chemical sprays, and when paired with complementary botanicals, it not only enhances the fragrance but also boosts the effectiveness of the repellent properties.
Anti-Mosquito Candle in White Terracotta Bowl
This signature piece from Hiew Collectives features four botanical blends designed for calm, comfort, and protection:
Citronella and Eucalyptus – A clean, herbal scent perfect for breezy afternoons.
Citronella and Lavender – Soft, floral, and soothing for peaceful evenings.
Citronella and Mint – Cool, crisp, and ideal for daytime lounging or garden parties.
Citronella and Lemon – Bright and zesty with a summer-ready scent.

Housed in a timeless white terracotta bowl, this candle doubles as a decorative element and a natural defence against bites and buzzing.
Ceramic Pot Candle in Citronella & Bamboo
Combining the gentle citrus tones of citronella with the fresh, airy notes of bamboo, this candle offers a lighter, greener take on mosquito protection. Available in either blue or red ceramic pots, it's a stylish, vibrant addition to outdoor settings—whether placed on a patio table, windowsill, or garden bench.
3. Reusable, Sustainable Design
Our love for objects that can be reused, reimagined, and repurposed runs through the entire Hiew Collectives candle collection. Once the wax has burned down, the terracotta bowls and ceramic pots can be reused as planters, storage, or purely decorative pieces. This sustainable design is a small but meaningful way to add eco-friendliness to your daily living rituals.
4. Flexible Styling for Outdoor Spaces
Our outdoor candles are designed for versatile use, empowering you to create the perfect ambience for your outdoor space. Whether you prefer a lush garden terrace or a modern balcony set up, you can cluster them to create an ambient centrepiece, scatter them along walkways, or gently place them near seating areas to illuminate and protect your space.
The solid weight of each bowl or pot keeps them stable even in a breeze, while their natural and colourful finishes complement a range of outdoor styles, from rustic gardens to modern patios. Whether you're aiming for a cozy, intimate feel or a more open, airy atmosphere, our candles can help you achieve the perfect outdoor ambiance.
