DELIVERY DETAILS
Shanghai orders are fulfilled locally for Shanghai delivery. See our Shipping Policy.
Because AN candles are hand-poured in small batches, delivery may take longer if a formula is temporarily out of stock. If this happens, we’ll contact you by email with an updated delivery estimate. Delivery timing may also be affected by courier delays, weather, address issues or other exceptional circumstances.
CUSTOMER NOTES
“The packaging is beautiful, but what surprised me was how easy the scent is to live with. It changes the room without taking over it.”
“This was exactly the kind of thing I wanted to bring home from Shanghai — locally made, beautifully packaged, and something I’ll actually use.”
“I bought CALM because I wanted something for the end of the day, not another sweet candle. The mugwort and woods feel dry, warm and very different from anything I already own.”
Good to know.
