Why Dolva exists
We started reading labels and couldn't find a single candle that listed everything. So we made one. Coconut-soy wax, phthalate-free fragrance, cotton wicks — every ingredient named, every time. That's it. That's Dolva.
of conventional candles use synthetic fragrance with no ingredient disclosure required by law
regulations in the US requiring candle makers to disclose what's in their fragrance
of Dolva ingredients listed on every product. Always.
The collection
Vanilla, amber and a trace of smoke. The smell of inside when it's cold outside.
Pure eucalyptus. The stillness before the day begins. Your daughter's scent — up before anyone else to catch the sunrise.
Sandalwood, dark amber, dry wood. The quiet that settles after dinner. The best part of the day.
Bergamot and white tea. Crisp mountain air and open sky. Your brightest, clearest hour.
The refill system
Your Dolva piece is a permanent home object. When the candle burns down, a new refill drops straight in. No tools. No mess. Ten seconds and you're done.
Your starter kit arrives with a hand-thrown ceramic piece and your first refill already inside. Light it. Live with it. The piece is yours forever.
Coconut-soy wax contracts as it cools, pulling away from the sides. When your refill burns down, it lifts clean out. No scraping. No tools.
Your next refill arrives on your schedule — monthly, every six weeks, whenever you need it. Swap scents with the season. Cancel anytime.
Our story
"Growing up in the Austrian Alps, the women in my family had a ritual — candles, blankets, fire, the quiet pleasure of just being."
I've carried that across countries and years. When I learned what most candles are actually made from, I couldn't go back. Dolva is where that ritual lives now — clean, honest, made by hand in Atlanta.
— Founder, Dolva
