If you’re an avid reader of Monet, you already know we love to treat our loved ones to personalized gifts. But even though personalization is a great way to say “I got this just for you”, no matter what the gift is, I still always struggle to find something that I know the recipient will love. I’ve grown to accept the fact that gift-giving just isn’t my love language, but still, I try.
Needless to say, when I discovered Birthdate Candles, I was elated. Fellow wannabe gift-givers, this is for you. You’re welcome.

The concept is simple, brilliant, and sure to please pretty much anyone. Basically, Birthdate Candles has 365 different candle options — one for every day of the year. Each is a hand-poured, all-natural blend of “soy, coconut, and apricot wax and custom natural fragrance oils.”
The fragrance blends aren’t just randomized, either. They’re crafted to suit the astrological personality of the recipient. The candle’s labels are similarly crafted to give insight into the character traits specific to each birthday.
The Monet Birthdate Candle Review
The company sent me one to try (coincidentally, I just had a birthday, so the timing was perfect!) and I must say, I was unsure of it, at first. When I unboxed the candle, the scent hit me like a wall, and I wasn’t sure I liked it – it was pretty perfumey and very strong. I have to chalk that up to it being in a box during shipping, though, as it seemed to air out pretty quickly after opening.
I loved the astrological insights on the labels, and I’m only tangentially into astrology. Any astrology buff will go nuts over these candles. Apparently, people born on the same day as me “often find themselves in a position of authority, sometimes to their own surprise.” Let me just tell you, they hit the nail right on the head with that one!
I lit it and was prepared for it to be too strong but was pleasantly surprised. Yes, the scent definitely fills the first floor of our house, but I don’t find it overpowering at all. In fact, the past few days, I’ve found myself craving the scent of it. I light it first thing in the morning and let it burn for at least a couple hours, and the scent lingers even after it’s extinguished. My candle is a blend of mint, geranium, and cedarwood — not a combo I would normally go for, but Birthdate Candles made it work.
My verdict? Go for it. Birthdate Candles are the perfect birthday gift for anyone (except my dad, who can’t stand anything scented), especially your favorite astrology/tarot friend! As an added bonus, use the code FULLMONET10 to get 10% off your order!
