Fragrant. Sexy. Mood-inducing. Scented candles literally put everything into a whole new (and much better) light.

We are sharing our many reasons why we felt compelled to create our very own candle range, the ‘Self-discovery Collection’.

Wellbeing

A focus on wellbeing is ARDERE at its core. We strongly believe that your lifestyle can be your medicine and we want to evoke changes within you to become the very best version of yourself.

We live in a world where stress is prevalent which can really take its toll on the mind and body. That’s why we created a collection of natural wax candles that are naturopathically-inspired. Each candle has its own unique therapeutic purpose, whether that is to uplift, soothe, energise, ground, relax or refresh. You name it, we thought it.

Our natural wax candles are filled with high-quality pure essential oils. We have experienced the benefits of the inhalation and absorption of essential oils first-hand on the course of our own wellness journeys. Their benefits, combined with their stunning scent profiles both captivates and excites.

ARDERE understands the power of scent therapy and how essential oils can work to support the nervous system, whether that’s to energise, de-stress or calm.

Atmospheric

Candles are sexy. Have you ever walked into a restaurant on a night and there is that harsh bright lighting and not a candle in sight? We tend not to stay there very long.

Candles are an absolute must for creating a relaxed and sensual atmosphere. We are big fans of romance, and so mood lighting is everything.

Hygge

Candles have a way of putting you at ease. They bring comfort and a sense of homeliness.

Lighting a candle is a celebration of enjoying one’s own company. With the popularity of ‘hygge’, cosy nights in are no longer to be considered boring, they are an occasion to be celebrated! We look forward to our ‘me time’ and candles promote what ARDERE is all about, self-care.

Who else enjoys the thought of a cosy night in with a long soak in a hot bath? That warm glow of a candle right beside you is just dreamy. Or how about the flicker of a flame oozing notes of lavender at your bedside as you slip between the bedsheets? Hygge is the real deal and candles provide that very feeling.

Escapism and Nostalgia

Our very personal memories and travel experiences fed into the creation of ARDERE’s Self-discovery Collection.

We believe that scent has the power to transport you based on its connection to the limbic system. Here is where our memories and emotions lie and we believe that simply smelling one of our fragrances will transport you to far-flung destinations and enable you to revel in those nostalgic precious memories from the past.

This is why our scents are destination-inspired and based on happy and personal memories of ours. We want our customers to feel that by lighting a candle they can escape and relish in their very own ‘happy place’.

Indulgence

No matter what the setting, candles bring a little luxury and personality to your space, by way of scent but also by appearance. We created a timeless and effortless look using all natural wax. As Coco Chanel once said, ‘simplicity is the key note of all true elegance’. Finished with our gold motif, the true aim of ARDERE’s candle is to evoke the glow in you, by enhancing your wellbeing. ARDERE’s motif is a symbol of self-care.

Ancient Traditions 

History meets modern day with ARDERE candles. Candles have been lit for thousands of years and were often used in sacred ceremonies, rituals and cultural traditions.

Monks are still known to light candles as a sign of inner light and wisdom against darkness, and many monks meditate with a candle burning in the room. Lighting candles during meditation is a wonderful way to support the meditative process.

ARDERE’s candles are aimed at offering this same sentiment and meaning. Our candles facilitate relaxation whilst also being a symbol in their own right. For ARDERE, that symbol is to make you feel better, but you can also light our candles with your very own philosophy or sentiment behind it.
