Édesse creates decorative scented candles designed in Belgium, conceived as art objects as much as functional candles.

Each piece combines heritage-inspired glass design, Art-Nouveau sculptural form, and refined fragrance, and is designed to exist beautifully both lit and unlit.

Both.

Édesse candles are designed as visual objects first, with equal attention given to how they look in a space and how they perform when lit. They can be enjoyed unlit as decorative pieces, and burned to create atmosphere and scent.

Édesse Fragrances candles are available online and through selected physical locations. This includes the boutique of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.

Édesse candles are designed in Belgium and produced in small batches to ensure careful control over materials, finishes, and quality.

All Édesse candles are made with 100% natural rapeseed wax.

Rapeseed wax is chosen for its clean burn, softer scent diffusion, and plant-based origin. It allows fragrances to unfold gently without overpowering the space.

Édesse takes a measured and transparent approach to sustainability.

Candles are made using plant-based rapeseed wax, produced in small batches, and designed as objects meant to be kept or reused rather than discarded. While no scented candle is impact-free, the focus is on responsible materials and longevity.

Édesse uses refined, long-lasting fragrances designed to unfold gradually.

Rather than intense or overpowering scents, the focus is on balance, depth, and atmosphere.

Fragrance typically begins to bloom 15–30 minutes after lighting.

To ensure the best experience:

• Allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface during the first burn
• Trim the wick before each use
• Avoid burning for more than 4 hours at a time

Proper care extends both burn time and scent quality.

Burn time varies slightly depending on the piece, but most Édesse candles burn for approximately 40–60 hours, when used according to candle care guidelines.

Yes, when used as instructed.

Each product includes safety instructions and full ingredient disclosure, in accordance with European regulations. As with all scented candles, it is recommended to keep candles out of reach of children, avoid skin contact with wax or fragrance, and never leave a burning candle unattended.

Yes.

Each Édesse candle is produced in intentionally limited editions. Once a design is finished, it is not reproduced.

This approach preserves the specificity of each piece and allows for thoughtful craftsmanship rather than mass production.

Édesse candles are produced in limited editions, and designs are not reproduced once finished.

While they are not marketed as collectibles, many customers choose to keep or repurpose the glass vessels as decorative objects after use.

Édesse does not position itself around traditional luxury labels.

Instead, the focus is on material honesty, design integrity, and limited production. Each candle is conceived as a decorative object, valued for its form, craftsmanship, and presence rather than status-driven markers.

Yes.

Each candle is presented in a protective box and accompanied by a velvet pouch, making it suitable for gifting without additional packaging. The design-led approach also makes the object meaningful beyond the moment of gifting.

Shipping destinations, rates, and delivery times are calculated at checkout and vary depending on location.

Tracking information is provided once an order has been shipped.

For hygiene and safety reasons, burned candles cannot be returned.
