Mbodi is a candle brand built different. Bold scents, clean ingredients, and curated playlists that turn every light into a full-sensory experience. No essential oils, no filler, just fire.

Each candle includes a QR code to the playlists. Our playlists are built to match the mood – using tracks available on Spotify and YouTube. Featured artists are not associated with or promoting Mbodi (we/our customers just think their music fits).

All playlists are customer curated through customer submissions. We also include local artists in the Austin area and whoever fits the vibe. Don’t worry – you won’t hear us singing or talking. We know our lane.

Playlists are typically updated bi-weekly based on customer submissions.

No! Burning essential oils releases stuff that can mess with your air quality, trigger allergies, and irritate lungs — especially for pets, kids, or anyone with sensitivities. Some oils are also flammable and can change chemically when heated. So no, they’re not always safe.
