About Bask Hour

Bask Hour is a small candle maker based in Griffintown, Montréal. Its candles are made with natural wax and wooden wicks that crackle softly as they burn, a bit like a tiny fireplace.

It suits anyone who loves a cozy evening at home, especially during the long, dark months of a Montreal winter. Light one during a bath, a reading night or a dinner with friends. Candles are also one of the easiest gifts to give, perfect for a host, a coworker or a holiday exchange. A local maker turning a simple object into a small daily ritual.
