Behind the Scenes at Lueur d'Essence: The Art of Creating a Handcrafted Candle

At Lueur d'Essence, each candle is more than just a scented object: it's a work of art crafted with passion. Behind each dancing flame lies a meticulous process, combining tradition and innovation.

 

Today, we open the doors of our workshop to you to discover the key stages of making a handmade candle .

 

1. The selection of raw materials: a careful choice

It all starts with a  rigorous selection  ingredients. We favor natural waxes (soy, coconut, beeswax) to ensure a clean and long-lasting burn. Our fragrances are carefully selected to offer an authentic olfactory experience, and our wicks are made of cotton or wood, free of toxic substances.

🔹  Did you know?  The choice of wax influences not only how long the candle burns, but also how it diffuses its fragrance.

2. Hand pouring: a precise and delicate gesture

Once the wax is melted to the ideal temperature, we delicately add the fragrances to preserve all their notes. Then, each candle is  hand-cast  with patience and know-how.

👉 This artisanal process ensures consistent quality and prevents the formation of irregularities that could affect combustion.

3. Drying and finishing: the perfection stage

Once poured, our candles must  rest for several hours  so that the wax hardens properly and the fragrance blends harmoniously. Each piece is then checked, trimmed if necessary, and carefully packaged.

💡  Anecdote  : Some candles require several tests before achieving the perfect fragrance and ideal burn. Every detail counts to ensure a unique sensory experience.

4. A finishing touch that makes the difference

Aesthetics are key at Lueur d'Essence. We carefully design our candles and their containers to ensure they blend harmoniously into your home. Each label is designed to reflect the universe and emotion we want to convey.

✨  An object that doesn't just perfume, but tells a story.

Creating a handmade candle is a  true precision work , where every gesture and every ingredient are important. At Lueur d'Essence, we put all our heart and know-how into each of our creations to offer you a unique experience.
