Owned and operated by then candle queen Greta. She has been making soy candles for over 12 years. Her candles are all-natural, dye-free, scented soy candles that are all inspired by nature and style. She is amazing and super helpful to help you find the perfect candle! All candles are hand-made. She has a few house favorites that are around year-round, but most candles are seasonal- which we love! Her shop is located in Mt. Washington! Online orderings is also available. Her Almond Torte is incredible around for all seasons. I also love her spiced pumpkin roll. The perfect combination of scents- making you feel like baking on a cool, crisp fall day. They last and smell so good- amazing quality! Love a good quality product and supporting local. read more

See all

The smells that come from this shop are unreal. We luckily live a few doors up the street and get to smell their scents from the street when they are making candles. I just love when the street smells like a seasonal candle or my favorite - almond cake. A friend turned me onto their candles a few months ago and it's my go to for gifts. My family will be receiving a lot of soyil candles this holiday season!! This studio isn't always open but if you happen to be in the area when they are there - it's a really cute studio! If not, there's tons of local retailers that carry their candles!! read more

I'm very judgment when it comes to candles. I'm not playing with Yankee Candles anymore. They may smell delicious, but there is no scent when it burns, I swear! This happens a lot with candles. Smells good then you get it home and burn it and nothing. I admittedly like strong candles and always go towards the food scents. Anything cake, cookies, cinnamon, vanilla, almond etc I'm into. I hate floral scents and I can take or leave fruit scents. I've bought a handful of local candles to mixed reviews. I'm so thankful Soyil candles has come into my life! I had heard of them before, but only just bought one at my fave local store love, Pittsburgh in Mt. Washington. I'm currently burning the almond cake and it is legit almond smelling. I bought an almond candle from Bath & Body Works and it smelled nothing like almond and I was pissed! I also love the Home Sweet Home, which is cinnamon and vanilla (I think). I was skeptical. But when we started burning it, I kept saying how awesome it smelled. It was burning downstairs and I was shocked to smell the delicious scents upstairs too. I couldn't believe I'd finally found a candle that exceeded my expectations. So now I'm officially obsessed. I need to stock up asap. They carry them at a handful of retail shops and salons around town, as well as ship them from their online site. Seriously, they are worth every penny and you can thank me when your house smells so amazing! read more

Soyil Candles by Greta are the best candles we have had. While we have had many from Yankee candles to Jo Malone these candles have the best scent. By best sent I mean real sent that can permeate the room or place. Okay @Rachel C. you said I would have to thank you, so thanks indeed. The owner, proprietor and scent alchemist is Greta. She can really work magic inside a jar. Soyil Candles are hand-poured soy wax candles made in right here in her shop in Pittsburgh, PA. They are all-natural, dye-free, scented soy candles. While there are several retail outlets around and growing, I could not find any retail near me and did not want to go across town in the winter snows to the shop, so I did my shopping at their great online store. These are great for gifts also, so I ordered several some for me and some for others. When I had some questions, Greta was very helpful and kind and provided excellent suggestions and great can't be beat customer service. My order was shipped and received promptly. Again great service you only get from dedicated artist owners. Now I can not really defend getting our candles from anywhere else. read more

This great little candle shop on Mount Washington is a must when you're looking for a gift for someone else... or yourself! Greta, the owner, is always cheery and happy to help you find that perfect scent. The almond cake is fantastic and I love, love, love the winter scents! She has even started selling her signature scents in vintage glass pieces if you're looking for an added pop of color or something unique to fit your decor. Storefront hours vary, but the candles can also be found at various shops and boutiques in the area, as well as on the company website. read more
