Skeem Votives
Skeem is a boutique Philadelphia-based company that produces some of the most delightful candles I’ve ever come across. The company is founded by a husband-wife team of graphic designer Geoff Weiser and former retail buyer Suji Meswani. They personally developed the scents, colors, wax formulation and product designs. The candles are “wicked with a lead-free cotton wick,” and a soy blend wax is hand poured into glass containers, which are are silkscreened.
I adore the packaging, which are decorated with swirling, vibrant patterns and have gorgeous vintage-inspired lettering. On the glass, you’ll find a description of each scents. Of the ones I’ve tried, my favorite candle is the Mandarin Sake, which is sweetly citrus and is described on the candle as to contain “ripe orange top notes muted with hints of floral currant blossom and vanilla.” I keep this one on my desk. Another one that I enjoy is the sexy Boudoir candle which perfectly balances fresh scent of french-milled soap with bright lime and grapefruit elements. It’s very mellow and perfect to keep on a bedside table. If you adore florals, you’ll love Vintage Peony that is a blend of peony, gardenia, lily, and musk. To me, it reminds me of being in a garden! There are five other votive scents to choose from, though I am personally looking forward to trying their pillars, lanterns and perfumes.
