Heks Candle
A surprisingly universal, intoxicating scent that no one can resist. A luxurious blend of dragon's blood, sandalwood and incense, HEKS evokes mystical memories of times past. Ancient runes and Viking stones ground the scent that is swathed in resin, sandalwood, incense and embers. Use HEKS to ward off evil spirits and ground yourself in the earthly heritage of Norse Mythology. HEKS comes in a black iridescent signature Aembr glass jar, contains twin cotton lead-free wicks, and features spooky grey wax along with mystical magical black iridescent eco-glitter topcoat.

By placing an order you agree to our Shipping Policy, Refund Policy, and site Terms and Conditions.
Every AEMBR candle is hand-poured in small batches using clean, thoughtfully selected ingredients. We stand behind the quality of our wax and wicks with a one-year burn guarantee.
If your candle demonstrates a confirmed defect in the wax or wick, we will gladly replace it.
Covered issues may include:
- Significant wax sinkholes
- Persistent tunneling despite proper burn care
- Wicks that will not remain lit after correct trimming
- Abnormal burn performance due to wax or wick defect
To qualify for a replacement, candles must be burned according to our care guidelines:
- The first burn must last 2–3 hours, allowing the wax to melt fully to the edge of the vessel.
- Wicks should be trimmed to 1/8–1/4" before each burn.
- Candles should be burned on a level surface and away from drafts.
Replacement requests for tunneling will be reviewed once at least 75% of the candle has been burned in accordance with these instructions.
Please note: approximately ½" of wax will remain at the bottom of the vessel at the end of its life. This is intentional and ensures safe performance. It is not considered a defect.
To begin a claim, please email our Customer Happiness Team at [insert email] with your order number, a brief description of the issue, and clear photos.
We review each case thoughtfully and stand behind the craftsmanship of every candle we create.

From Fjord (1989) to Bibliotek, Vanilluxe to Lavender Haze, AEMBR's scents are complex, nuanced, and completely toxin-free.
Amber Oud
Amber Oud is the Founder's Favorite for a reason. Originally developed as the first scent ever created by AEMBR, it's a soft, universally-adored fragrance with notes of Egyptian amber and woody oud with a touch of powder for balance.
Bibliotek
Inspired by a combination of Belle's library and the Bodleian in Oxford, Bibliotek is a scent that took 6 months to develop. It marries the hint of leather bound books, a touch of whiskey and hint of a fireplace, accented with masculine notes of rosewood and dark tonka.
Aristocrat
Aristocrat is a skin scent that softly wafts heavenly sensual notes of patchouli, vanilla, amber, and heavy musk, accented by touches of sandalwood.
Fjord
Fresh, invigorating, energizing. Perfect for noses with delicate sensibilities. It's a luxury five-star resort hotel vibe with notes of blonde woods, fresh sage, ambrette seeds, and sea salt.
Shop Fjord (formerly 1989)
Heritage
Heritage scent is a warm, enveloping hug of floral woods, a hint of cacao bean, and a good dose of amber.

Vanilluxe
Vanilla-- if she's all grown up and got a makeover and studied abroad in Paris. Spiced vanilla & tobacco marry nicely to keep this vanilla more spicy and sensual than sweet.
