History and Origins

Candles Adventure was founded out of a passion for travel and the emotions associated with memorable destinations. The idea originated from a desire to capture unique moments—such as the scent of a beach at sunset, a pastry enjoyed abroad, or the atmosphere of a distant city—and translate them into fragrances. Each creation is conceived as a memory, an invitation to escape and well-being, allowing customers to travel without leaving their home. The brand was established by Pierre and Chris, who are both passionate about travel and artisanal creation. All products are handcrafted in the company’s workshop in Cesson-Sévigné, near Rennes, Brittany (source: https://www.candlesadventure.fr/notre-univers).
