Grounded yet refined, Velvet Press captures the quiet ritual of early mornings shaped by aroma and atmosphere.
Roasted coffee forms the heart of the blend — rich, smooth, and full-bodied — softened by warm vanilla and anchored by the deep, wood-toned elegance of mahogany. The composition is layered and enveloping, balancing boldness with a subtle sweetness and a polished finish.
For the founder, this scent is deeply nostalgic. It recalls mornings spent watching the news with her father, the air filled with the unmistakable aroma of freshly brewed coffee. It echoes the smooth, balanced character of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee — aromatic, refined, and never overpowering. Those moments of stillness, conversation, and routine are woven into every note.
Hand-poured using Asali Lume’s proprietary blend of beeswax and coconut oil, Velvet Press offers a clean, even burn with a smooth, luminous finish. The wooden wick provides a soft crackling ambiance, enhancing the sense of warmth and quiet presence.
Crafted with phthalate-free fragrance blends and intentionally selected ingredients, Velvet Press transforms a familiar morning ritual into a sophisticated sensory experience — where depth, memory, and refinement converge.

To ensure an optimal burn, allow your candle to melt evenly across the surface during the first use — approximately 3–4 hours — to prevent tunneling and promote longevity. Before each burn, trim the wooden wick to about 1/8–1/4 inch using a wick trimmer; this is especially important for wooden wicks to maintain a clean, steady flame. If the flame rises above one inch, extinguish, trim, and relight once cooled. Always burn within sight and keep away from children, pets, and anything flammable.
