No.14 Candle Refill Kit: Almond, Brown Butter, Vanilla Bean
Siblings is a artisan and USA-made, all-natural fragrance and candle brand rooted in sustainability—creating products designed to be biodegradable or fully recyclable. Each scent is crafted with a story in mind, built in layered notes that complement one another and are meant to transport you—evoking a specific place, memory, or feeling.
WHY WE LOVE IT:
No. 14 is the candle I’d light when I want my home to feel instantly warmer and more inviting—without that overly sweet, bakery-candle vibe. It’s gourmand, yes, but it’s grown-up gourmand: creamy, toasty, softly floral, and finished with a musky amber warmth that makes it feel more like fine fragrance than dessert.
And because it’s a refill kit, you get all of that in the vessel you already love—so your favorite jar gets a second (and third, and fourth) life.
What’s included (everything you need, minus the vessel)
Inside the kit you get:
- Fragranced candle wax
- A wick
- A wick holder (so the wick stays centered while the wax sets)
You supply the candle vessel—aka you get to keep using the jar that matches your space perfectly.
The fragrance notes (and how it actually smells)
The fragrance notes (and how it actually smells)
No. 14 is beautifully layered. It opens creamy and bright, turns warm and buttery in the middle, then dries down into a soft, skin-like amber vanilla.
Top: Almond, Coconut, Pear
The first impression is smooth and creamy, with a little freshness. Almond and coconut give it that cozy, milky warmth right away, while pear adds a light, juicy lift so it doesn’t feel heavy from the start.
Heart: Brown Butter, Salted Caramel, Jasmine
This is where the “I want to live in this scent” moment happens. Brown butter makes it smell toasted and rich—like something warm just came out of the oven—while salted caramel adds sweetness with a little edge (not cloying). The jasmine is the secret weapon: it keeps the whole thing from reading like a straight-up dessert candle and adds a soft, elegant floral note that makes it feel elevated.
Base: Vanilla Bean, Musk, Amber
The dry-down is what makes it feel expensive. Vanilla bean is warm and comforting, but the musk and amber smooth it out into something more sensual and “skin-like.” This is the part that lingers in the room and makes everything feel cozy and luxe.
Overall vibe:
- creamy and bright at first
- warm, buttery, salted-sweet in the middle
- soft amber-vanilla musk at the end
Clean, thoughtful, and made in the USA
Beyond the scent, I love the values behind it:
- the candle kit bag is biodegradable
- everything is made in the USA
- formulated with all-natural ingredients
How to use it (super simple refill process)
How to use it (super simple refill process)
This is the part that makes Siblings so satisfying—it’s basically a pour-and-set ritual.
-
Pick your vessel
Use a clean, empty candle jar/vessel (remove old wax and wipe it out). -
Set the wick first
Place the wick in the center of your vessel and use the wick holder to keep it upright and centered. -
Melt the wax
Melt the fragranced wax using one of these methods:
- Microwave method: melt in a microwave-safe container
- Hot water method: warm/melt using a pot of hot water until fully liquified
-
Pour + let it set
Carefully pour the melted wax into your vessel, keeping the wick centered. Let it cool completely until solid. -
Trim + light
Once set, trim the wick, then light and enjoy.
Final verdict
Siblings No. 14 is the candle I’d recommend if you want a scent that’s cozy, creamy, and indulgent—but still refined. The almond/coconut/pear opening keeps it bright, the brown butter + salted caramel heart makes it feel warm and addictive, and the vanilla-musk-amber base gives it that lingering, expensive finish.
And because it’s a refill kit (wax + wick + wick holder), you get to keep reusing your favorite vessel—so the candle fits your space perfectly, every time.
