Gift guide
A scented candle as a gift
A scented candle is one of the few gifts that changes a room without asking for anything. It needs no size, never goes out of fashion, and is slowly burned through exactly the moments it was made for. Here is how to choose the right one.
Choose by mood, not by name
Start from the feeling you want to give. Our collections are built around moods — tenderness, calm and travel — so you choose a present that fits the moment rather than a random scent. Woody and amber scents feel warm and enveloping; fresh and green scents read lighter and clearer.
Size and burn time
A medium candle (around 48 hours of burn time) is the safest gift choice: large enough to feel generous, not so large that it overwhelms. For a bigger gesture, choose a large candle (up to 72 hours) or a sculptural composition (up to roughly 110 hours).
Ready to give
Every candle is hand-poured in small batches in the Netherlands. Shipping within the EU is a flat €5.95 and free from €75 — adding a second candle often lifts the order just over that line.
Frequently asked
- Which scented candle makes the best gift?
- A medium candle with a warm woody or amber scent is the safest choice, because those scents are widely loved. When in doubt, choose by mood — for example a calming scent for someone who needs quiet.
- Is a scented candle a cheap gift?
- A hand-poured candle from small batches is a thoughtful, personal gift — not a throwaway. Its value is in the scent, the finish and the hours it gives.
