Our formulations feature high-quality essential oils, botanical extracts, and naturally derived components that are ethically sourced.

Are your fragrances vegan and cruelty-free?

How should I store my fragrance for optimal longevity?

To preserve the quality of your fragrance, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This ensures that the delicate notes remain intact and vibrant.

What is the best way to apply fragrance?

For optimal results, apply your fragrance to pulse points, including the wrists, behind the ears, and the neck. These areas emit warmth, which helps to enhance the scent's longevity and projection, allowing it to bloom beautifully throughout the day.

Are your fragrances suitable for sensitive skin?

Our fragrances are thoughtfully crafted with skin-friendly ingredients to ensure a pleasant experience for everyone. However, we recommend performing a patch test on a small area of skin before applying the fragrance more broadly, especially if you have sensitive skin. It’s essential to review the ingredient list for any components you may be allergic to, and we advise double-checking the ingredient list on the product packaging, as the ingredients may occasionally be updated or altered.

How do I choose the right fragrance for me?

Choosing the perfect fragrance is a personal journey. We recommend exploring our curated fragrance collections and encourage you to sample various options while reflecting on your preferences. Consider the scent notes and the occasions for which you’ll wear them to find a fragrance that truly aligns with your unique essence. Our website offers detailed descriptions and scent profiles to help guide your selection.

Why is the color of my fragrance changing?

The color of your fragrance can change for various reasons, including exposure to light, temperature fluctuations, and the use of natural ingredients in the formulation. These changes do not compromise the fragrance's quality or scent profile, which will remain intact.

Candles

What materials are used to create the candles?

Our candles are crafted with 100% natural soy wax sourced from Europe, obtained through local and sustainable harvesting practices. This wax is not only sustainable but also vegan-friendly and fully biodegradable. To ensure eco-friendliness, we use wicks composed of a sustainable flat braided pure cotton, interwoven with paper threads.

Where are the candles produced?

We proudly produce and hand-pour our candles in Sweden. Each candle is a testament to our unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, care, and an abundance of passion and love. Our dedication to excellence shines through in every single candle we create.

is it normal to see some white spots?

Soy wax has a tendency to create frosting, which appears as a white texture on the inside of the jar. This occurrence is entirely normal for natural waxes like soy and does not impact the candle's functionality in any manner.

Why my candle surface seems oily?

The top layer of wax on our candles may exhibit a slightly uneven or oily appearance, which is a natural characteristic resulting from the specific wax and fragrance combination used.
This occurrence is completely normal for our natural candles and does not affect their quality or performance in any way.

Packaging

What is the packaging materials?

Our packaging is FSC-certified and comes from responsibly sourced and thoughtfully processed materials from well-managed forests and/or recycled sources. FSC certification represents the sustainable choice, leading to improved outcomes for forests, people, and markets.

Why my product came without an extra packaging box?

This approach will continue until we successfully identify a sustainable packaging solution.
