Duchess Meghan marked her eighth wedding anniversary with Prince Harry by launching an exclusive scented candle under her lifestyle brand. Vela Signature nº 519, named after the wedding date, costs 54 euros and celebrates the wedding on May 19, 2018.
Fragrância inspired by the special day
The candle was developed with an aromatic composition designed to recall the couple’s most memorable moments. The fragrance combines Moroccan mint, cardamom and tea leaves, creating an aroma that seeks to embody the lightness and joy of the wedding ceremony. The container is made of ceramic and poured by hand in the Califórnia, reflecting the quality standard of the As Ever brand.
No Instagram, the brand describes the product as: “The feeling of warm sun and blue skies, surrounded by love and laughter. Celebramos eight years of our founder’s love story.” The description accompanies two images: an iconic photo of the wedding carriage seen from above and the sail itself.
The As Ever brand and its portfolio
The As Ever brand was launched in spring 2025 and quickly gained prominence in the lifestyle products market. The portfolio includes:
- Vela Signature #519 (Wedding Anniversary May 19)
- Raspberry Geleia
- Wildflower Mel
- Chás handcrafted
- Velas inspired by Meghan’s birthday (August 4th)
- Velas of children Archie (7 years old) and Lilibet (4 years old)
Produtos brand initials, such as jelly and honey, sold out almost immediately after launch, demonstrating strong public demand.
Celebração on Montecito
The couple celebrated their 8th anniversary at their residence in Montecito, Califórnia, with close family. Harry surprised the duchess with a bronze sculpture by artist Georgia Gerber, depicting two cuddling penguins. The reference alludes to the costumes worn by the couple at their secret engagement party in 2017.
Vela Signature #519 is not an entirely new release. The product was introduced in October 2025 as part of As Ever’s first holiday collection, consolidating the brand’s strategy of creating products that celebrate significant dates and moments in the Sussexes family.
