Meet Muppet: The Dolphin Behind Our New Coastal Candle 🐬

Updated: Apr 18

At Bottlenose Candles, every scent tells a story. Our newest creation is especially close to our hearts. We are thrilled to introduce Muppet, a coastal scented candle inspired by a very special dolphin.


Muppet is an Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin who calls the beautiful waters of Moreton Bay, Queensland home. Through our ongoing support of Dolphin Research Australia, we have had the incredible opportunity to adopt Muppet. From the moment we learned about this playful, curious dolphin, we knew we had to create something truly special in their honour.

Why Muppet Means So Much to Us


Muppet represents everything we love about the ocean: freedom, joy, and a deep connection to nature. Living in the stunning Moreton Bay region, Muppet is part of a thriving dolphin community that researchers work hard to protect and understand.


By naming this candle after Muppet, we celebrate not just one dolphin, but the importance of protecting marine life for generations to come. This is why we focus on creating eco-friendly candles in Australia that bring awareness and support to marine conservation.


Muppet’s story reminds us how vital it is to care for our oceans. Every time you light this candle, you connect with that spirit of the sea and the creatures who call it home.


A Candle Designed to Feel Like the Coast


Our Muppet candle is crafted to bring a sense of calm, warmth, and coastal luxury into your home. It is poured into a beautiful amber jar and finished with a double wick design for an even, glowing burn. This makes the candle as stunning as it is functional, perfect for creating a relaxed, ocean-inspired atmosphere.


We use a premium coconut soy wax blend that offers a clean, long-lasting burn. This choice supports those who seek natural candles in Australia, avoiding harsh chemicals and synthetic ingredients.


The scent is where Muppet truly comes to life:


  • Creamy coconut fragrance for soft, sun-soaked warmth

  • Nutty pistachio notes adding a unique, comforting twist

  • Smooth sandalwood base to ground the fragrance with subtle, earthy depth


This combination feels like golden afternoons by the sea. Effortless, warm, and inviting.


Supporting Dolphins Through Every Candle


More than just a beautiful scent, the Muppet candle carries a purpose. With every candle, diffuser, and room spray sold, we donate $1 to Dolphin Research Australia. This helps fund vital research, conservation efforts, and education programs that protect dolphins like Muppet in the wild.


When you light your Muppet candle, you’re not only creating a calm, coastal atmosphere. You’re supporting a charity candle that gives back to the ocean and its creatures.


This connection between product and purpose is what makes Bottlenose Candles special. It’s a way to bring the ocean’s magic into your home while helping protect it.

How We Created Muppet’s Scent


Creating a scent that captures the essence of the coast was a joyful challenge. We wanted something that felt natural and comforting, yet unique.


The creamy coconut note evokes the softness of sun-warmed skin and tropical breezes. It’s a scent that invites you to relax and breathe deeply.


Adding pistachio brings a nutty, slightly sweet twist that feels unexpected but comforting. It’s like a gentle surprise, much like the playful nature of dolphins.


Finally, sandalwood grounds the fragrance with a smooth, earthy base. This adds depth and warmth, reminding us of driftwood and sandy shores.


Together, these notes create a balanced, inviting scent that feels like a gentle hug from the ocean.


Bringing Coastal Candle Luxury Into Your Home


The Muppet candle is more than just a fragrance. It’s a piece of coastal luxury you can enjoy every day. The amber jar adds a warm glow, and the double wick ensures an even burn that fills your space with scent.


This candle fits perfectly in any room where you want to feel calm and connected to nature. Whether it’s your living room, bedroom, or bathroom, Muppet brings a touch of the sea’s magic indoors.


For those who appreciate handmade candles in Australia, Muppet offers a premium option that supports a cause close to our hearts.
