About Us

Who We Are

Twelve Year Flame is a London-based candle brand inspired by the rare Neelakurinji flower, crafting handmade candles across the United Kingdom. From pure soy wax candles to floral, luxury décor, eco-friendly designs, decorative baskets, and vintage teacup creations, each piece is made with care to bring warmth, beauty, and meaning to your home. Perfect for gifts, special occasions, and mindful living, our candles are available online and in select London markets.

Our Story

At Twelve Year Flame, every candle begins with a story—a rare one.
Our inspiration comes from the Neelakurinji flower, a miracle of nature so rare it blooms only once every twelve years. For just a short season, entire hillsides transform into an ocean of delicate blue—then vanish again into memory.

This once-in-a-decade-and-beyond event is not just a bloom—it’s a reminder.
That some beauty is fleeting. That some things are worth the wait. That rarity makes moments unforgettable.

We pour that same sense of precious rarity into our candles. Each piece we make is a quiet celebration of extraordinary moments—the kind that take time, patience, and presence.

We believe light is more than a function—it’s a feeling. That’s why our candles are:

  • Made slowly

  • Burned gently

  • Designed to awaken something rare within you

Whether it’s for reflection, comfort, or a touch of quiet joy, our candles are small rituals you can hold in your hands. Because you are not meant to burn endlessly—you are meant to glow meaningfully.

Our Logo Story – “Ignite the Extraordinary”

At the heart of our logo is a delicate bloom inspired by the Neelakurinji—a symbol of rarity, patience, and beauty that arrives in its own time.
The flowing script of Twelve Year Flame feels personal and timeless, while the tagline “Ignite the Extraordinary” invites you to light candles not out of habit, but with intention.
A soft blush background with scattered specks reflects fleeting petals in the wind—reminding us that beauty is often found in the moments we pause to notice.
