VIGYL, a Canadian fragrance house rooted in the queer community, reintroduces its beloved Hanlan’s Candle in honor of Pride Month. This limited edition soy wax candle is housed in a vibrant purple borosilicate glass vessel and is designed to evoke the essence of Hanlan’s Beach with notes of sunscreen, sun, beach vibes, and coconuts. For each candle purchased during June, VIGYL will donate $10 to Rainbow Railroad, an organization on a mission to aid LGBTQI+ individuals fleeing persecution.
Founder Stephen Michlits underscores Hanlan’s Candle's symbolic significance as a beacon of inclusivity and freedom: "This candle embodies the spirit of Hanlan's Beach, a historic safe haven for Toronto's LGBTQI+ community, and serves as a beacon of hope for those still seeking refuge."
