Audible Candles That Speak to the Soul: A New Era of Self-Expression Through Scent, Sound, and Story
At Express Yourself Candle Co., we believe a candle should do more than light a room—it should light your spirit. As a Black-owned, woman-owned business based in Eastern Connecticut, we’ve taken handmade candle artistry to a new dimension with the creation of the first-ever audible candle: a sensory experience that blends luxurious fragrance, soothing sound, and emotionally rich storytelling.
What Is an Audible Candle?
Imagine lighting a candle that not only fills the room with a beautiful, clean-burning fragrance but also plays an original short story, poem, or song designed to match the mood of the scent. Every candle from Express Yourself Candle Co. includes a QR code label that, when scanned, unlocks a 3–5-minute audio experience created and recorded by our founder, Cynthia Samokar. These audio pieces are fictional (unless noted), professionally recorded, and thoughtfully paired with each fragrance.
Whether it's a crackling wooden wick reminiscent of a fireplace or a soulful story that moves your heart, our audible candles offer a fully immersive moment of peace, nostalgia, romance, or reflection.

Our Mission: Art You Can Feel
The mission of Express Yourself Candle Co. LLC is to give every customer a deeply personal and artistic experience—not just through scent, but through sound and storytelling. The QR code label on each candle provides access to an original audio performance and a video that complements the candle’s essence. A printed instruction card and candle care guide are included with every purchase to ensure the experience is seamless.
Each candle is hand-poured using a premium coconut-apricot wax blend, known for its slow, even burn and exceptional scent throw. We use phthalate-free, perfume-grade fragrance oils and cotton wicks with no lead or zinc, ensuring a clean burn every time.
Our Vision: Storytelling by Candlelight
We envision a world where creative expression meets comfort and connection. That’s why every product at Express Yourself Candle Co. is more than a candle—it’s a curated emotional experience. As our collection grows, so will our showcase of audio pieces—offering customers a variety of artistic styles, from fictional storytelling to reflective poetry to soulful music.
This makes our candles perfect for anyone who enjoys art in all forms—especially those who love to read, write, listen, or simply be transported to another world by candlelight.
