The prompts

  1. Dusk light-up: Vertical UGC video in a cozy living room at dusk, dim warm ambient light. A woman in her 20s strikes a match, lights a three-wick candle on the coffee table, and the flame flicker slowly warms the whole frame. Close-up on the melt pool forming, then she settles into the sofa with a blanket and a content sigh. Handheld phone-camera feel, intimate golden mood.
  2. Scent-throw walk: Selfie-style vertical video, woman in her 30s walking through her apartment, soft evening lamplight. She lights a candle in the bedroom, walks down the hall to the kitchen while talking to camera, then stops, sniffs the air dramatically and points back toward the bedroom with wide eyes. Casual walk-and-talk framing, real lived-in apartment details, genuine surprised reaction.
  3. Unboxing gift reveal: Vertical UGC unboxing on a bed with white linens, bright soft daylight. Hands open a ribboned box, lift out a candle in embossed glass, tilt the label to camera, remove the lid and inhale with eyes closing in delight. Slow appreciative pacing, close-up on jar texture and wick detail, handheld realism, cozy bedroom background.
  4. Designer dupe test: Selfie vertical video at a marble bathroom counter, clean bright lighting. A woman in her late 20s holds a famous-looking luxury candle in one hand and the featured candle in the other, sniffs each in turn, raises her eyebrows, and sets the expensive one down decisively while nodding at the affordable one. Playful judging energy, handheld framing, authentic bathroom setting.
  5. Sunday reset lifestyle: Vertical montage-style UGC video in a small apartment, bright afternoon light fading to warm evening. A man in his 20s fluffs cushions, wipes the counter, waters a plant, then lights a candle on the shelf as the final step and flops onto the couch satisfied. Quick satisfying cuts, handheld motion, relatable messy-to-tidy transformation ending on the flame.
  6. Bath night POV: POV vertical video in a candlelit bathroom at night, warm flickering light only. A hand lights a candle at the edge of a filling bathtub, steam rises, a book and towel wait on a stool. Camera slowly pans across the glowing bathroom, water rippling with reflected flame. Serene ASMR pacing, realistic bathroom textures, deeply cozy self-care mood.
  7. Clean burn close-up: Vertical macro-style UGC video on a wooden side table, warm lamp light. Extreme close-up of a lit candle showing an even edge-to-edge melt pool, a trimmed wick with a steady flame and no soot, then fingers rotating the jar to show the smooth wax walls. A calm voice-friendly pace, shallow depth of field, handheld but stable, tactile and satisfying.
  8. Dinner party ambiance: Vertical UGC video of a small dinner gathering in an apartment, golden-hour window light mixing with candlelight. A woman in her 30s lights candles down the center of a set table as friends arrive in the background, then a guest leans in, sniffs and mouths 'what is that?' with a smile. Warm social atmosphere, handheld candid framing, natural laughter and movement.

Making these prompts yours

Frequently asked questions

How do you sell a scent in a video ad?
You can't transmit the smell, so you sell the reaction to it: the inhale, the closed eyes, the guest asking what that scent is. Pair that with credibility cues like the melt pool, clean wick and scent-throw walk-test, and viewers fill in the fragrance themselves.
Can I make claims like 'reduces anxiety' in candle ads?
No — therapeutic claims about anxiety, sleep or stress treat the candle like a health product and invite ad rejections. Keep the language about mood, ambiance and ritual; Polaris scripts for regulated-adjacent niches stay on the compliant side of that line.
When should candle brands ramp up creative testing?
Before Q4 — candles are heavily gift-driven, so test your hooks and gifting angles in early fall while CPMs are lower. Generating batches of UGC variants inside Claude lets you enter the holiday auction already knowing which creative converts.
