CANDLE INSPIRATION
Apostasy. n. an act of refusing to obey, follow, or recognize a religious faith; abandonment of a previous loyalty. Related to the Ancient Greek word ’αποστάτης (runaway slave).
The "Apostasy" candle is pretty self-explanatory.
If you're an apostate, and you're okay with that, this candle is for you.
QUALITY + SUSTAINABILITY
All ExMo Candles are hand-poured in small batches, and each of our recipes is tweaked and tested before coming online. We take pride in the quality of our candles.
Our candles are also vegan-friendly, made and packaged sustainably, and pthalate-free. Our commitment to sustainability includes a partnership with One Tree Planted, where we donate the money to plant 100 trees for every 100 candles sold.
Finally, the removable labels on our jars make them easy to upcycle. Woohoo!
DISCREET PACKAGING
We know that you might be living with members of the church, or heck, that your mailman might be Mormon. For that reason, we've chosen not to brand our outer packaging in any way. No one will be able to tell from the outside of the box that you've ordered anything related to being an ex-Mormon. This includes the shipping label, which will simply say it's from Jen + Adri.

The "Apostasy" candle is guaranteed to give you 40+ hours of burn time. It comes in a glass jar with an aluminum lid, and it measures 3.5" tall and 2.75" across. The net weight is 7.1 oz.

The scent for this one was Adri’s idea, and I can’t wait to see him beam when I read him your review! So happy you like it, ya apostate!
Tarien (verified owner) –
This candle is an absolute centerpiece at my kitchen table. Admittedly, I bought it a little bit more for the name than the scent, but happened to be pleasantly surprised by how fresh and room-livening it is. I absolutely love this candle and the company behind it!
Jen –
I’m so happy reading this, Tarien! Thank you so much for leaving a review! Here’s to many years of Apostasy to come!

I bought this as a gift for my sister-in-law and she loved it. She was impressed by the quality of the candle and loved the scent. All the little extras that were included made her cackle. She told me it’s one of the best gifts she has ever received.
So I highly recommend getting a candle.
Jen –
That is music to my ears, Jenny! We put a lot of thought into the extras, and to hear they resonated like that just made my whole day. Thanks so much for coming back and leaving a review!

Apostatizing has never smelled so good. A very subtle scent, just love it. Very high quality candle. Loved the matches it came with as well.
Jen –
The matches were Adri’s idea, and he’s going to be so happy when I tell him they were part of your review! May Apostasy ever waft through your corridors, Shannon!

Everything about Apostasy is perfect! The candle itself is white and delightsome, the matchbox displays Tapir-Moroni beautifully, and the scent is so crisp and wonderful that it gives the sweet sensation of escaping from a cult! I love my exmocandles. They are definitely my new favorite gift to give my partner for any occasion. I am also sure to make sure that our growing collection is clearly on display whenever any of our old TBM acquaintances stop by! ?
Jen –
Ha! I would love to hear any stories that result from your candles being on display when folks drop by! Gus (our logo) sends you a friendly toot from his trumpet! He loves the scent of Apostasy, too!
Adam (verified owner) –
Apostasy is the perfect scent for heathens everywhere. A light in outer darkness, the scent of betraying an unjust god. Wax catharsis in a glass jar. Refreshing and innovative. This candle smells like clean and sweet, with a hint of rebellion.
Jen –
The scent of betraying an unjust god…this gives me tingles! I love all of this so much, Adam. Thank you for supporting our small business, and for taking the time to leave a review that has me absolutely beaming!
Kris H. –
The names of every single one of these candles evokes a different emotion from going up Mormon! Eventually I will own each and every one! 🙂
Jen –
Hehe, it will come as no surprise that we totally support you in that goal! 🙂 🙂 🙂 In all seriousness, I’m beyond happy you connect with the candles like this, and I’m so grateful you made the effort to leave a review. Thank you, Kris!

Love this scent! It’s complex and well-balanced with fruity, floral, and woody notes.
Jen –
This scent was Adri’s brainchild, and he’ll be so happy when I read him this tonight! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Chelsea, and I’m really happy you’re enjoying it! May your own apostasy be as complex and balanced as this candle 🙂
