With the cooler temperatures & shorter days upon us there’s nothing more relaxing than the scent and flickering flame of a burning candle. Candles have certainly come a long way since their initial use. While they are no longer used as a major source of light, they continue to grow in popularity and use. Today, candles are used to symbolise a celebration, ignite romance, soothe the senses, honor a ceremony or accent home decors, casting a warm and soothing glow for all to enjoy.
In Scandinavia, where the winter days can be even shorter, with only a few hours of daylight or none at all in some areas, candles add that extra bit of comfort and warmth and can be found in all corners of the home. Whenever we head back to Norway, I always love to visit the large candle stores and factories near our family’s home town of Elverum. The variety and quality is amazing, providing some great inspiration for our own candle making.
Here at touch of Scandi, we showcase a variety of candles from ester & erik of Denmark and Norwegian brand Ljos, to our our own range of hand poured candles in various styles and scents. Our candles are all natural, non toxic and feature quality Cocosoy wax, cotton wicks and fragrance oils, providing long burn time, less mess and no nasty headaches! Our fragrances are subtle yet effective, with no overpowering or sickly scents. We pride ourselves in stocking only quality candles that add that little bit of hygge to your home.
