“Class & Grit luxury candle by Emma William – citrus, tea, and sandalwood fragrance inspired by strength and legacy.”

Class & Grit: The Heart, Purpose, and Craft Behind Our Signature Luxury Candle

A Candle That Carries Legacy

At Emma William luxury candle company, every candle has a purpose — but Class & Grit carries the very soul of the brand.

This candle was created to honor the two people who gave me my foundation and my fire:

Emma — Class & William — Grit 

One represents elegance, compassion, and refinement.

The other symbolizes strength, resilience, and determination.

Together, they are the foundation behind everything I create.

The Meaning Behind the Name

Emma = Class

My mother Emma embodies grace, warmth, and quiet sophistication.

She is the softness, the beauty, the calm presence — the class.

William = Grit

My father William represents courage, perseverance, and powerful inner strength.

He is the drive, the fire, the focus — the grit.

Class & Grit is the candle that merges both energies into one scent — a balanced reminder of who I am, where I come from, and the legacy I honor with each pour.

The Fragrance Profile — Where Class Meets Grit

Class & Grit carries a fragrance that tells a story from the first spark to the final lingering note.

✨ Top Notes: Bergamot, Lemon, Orange

A bright, uplifting trio that brings energy, freshness, and clarity — the “class” that lights up a room with elegance.

Middle Notes: Green Tea, Black Tea, Sea Salt

This heart is both soothing and strong.

Green tea offers calm purity, black tea adds quiet determination, and sea salt brings a modern freshness that reflects life’s balance: the stillness and the struggle, the calm and the climb.

Sandalwood symbolizes legacy and strength, while cream softens the edges — a perfect representation of the love and grit that inspired this candle’s name.

    •    Premium fragrance oils for a long-lasting scent throw

    •    Hand-poured craftsmanship for quality and care
