The First Flame

Corvess was founded by Sam Cheal, a dedicated parrot guardian and later a rescuer through Newcastle & Hunter Valley Bird Rescue. Years of learning about birds, and working closely with avian veterinarians, revealed just how unsafe many conventional candles are for animals with delicate respiratory systems. This includes all exotic pets, even common. Frankly, normal candles aren’t suitable for human beings, either.

Inspired by years of working alongside parrots and exotic animal professionals, Corvess was created to offer something rare: pet-friendly candles that honour the presence of animals in our homes. Crafted with expert guidance to be as pet-considerate as possible, every blend avoids common irritants like paraffin, phthalates, mutagens, toxins, carcinogens, phenols and harsh synthetic dyes—making them gentler not just for parrots, but for all other exotic pets, cats, dogs, and the humans who share space with them.

Our products are also made with sensory wellbeing in mind. Each scent is developed to be gentle and grounding—suitable for migraine sufferers, those with fragrance sensitivities, and anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by artificial perfume. These are candles you can actually breathe around. We love scent, without the suffering.

Corvess is also rooted in witchcraft, not the theatrical kind, but the everyday kind. The kind found in ritual, intention, and the quiet transformation of space. Each candle is more than scent—it’s spellwork in wax. From the herbs to the heat, every detail is chosen to support grounding, protection, and emotional alchemy. Whether you’re casting circles or simply catching your breath, Corvess is there to hold the flame.
