Welcome
Hi, I’m Tan – mum of three, perpetually time-poor and terrible at pressing pause.
I’m the founder and maker behind Simple Retreat – a soy candle brand devoted to creating everyday getaways right in your own home, all through the power of scent.
Simple Retreat currently offers nine beautiful fragrances across two signature collections: one collection inspired by travel, and the other by the comforts of home.
Each candle is self-poured in small batches using custom ceramic jars, 100% soy wax, and cotton wicks for a clean, minimalist burn. Not to mention, vibrant gift packaging designed to help your mind wander, even just for a moment.
Truthfully, these candles have become my little everyday essential – creating moments to pause, reset, and recharge.
My hope is that Simple Retreat candles can offer the same gentle pause for you – a small, beautiful reminder to breathe, reset, and simply be.
Happy browsing,
