Looops scented candle with wooden lid

Mountain air: forest-fresh scent of Swiss stone pine needles, juniper branches and lemon peel, reminiscent of a hike in the mountains. Aromatherapy effect: helps to clear the head, strengthen and balance.

Bring the scent of nature indoors? These candles can do that: whether spicy forest air with tart Swiss stone pine aroma (mountain air), spicy lavender scent with juniper (leisure time) or rosemary notes (homecoming) or fruity orange and lemon notes with warm cinnamon and vanilla aromas (evening gold). Many find the scents soothingly relaxing or pleasantly invigorating, depending on the aroma. In these candles, the well-composed mixtures of exclusively natural essential plant oils provide the intense fragrance. The candle wax is also made from purely vegetable raw materials (from rapeseed and soy) - so you can breathe deeply, doubly relaxed. And long, because the vegetable wax burns significantly longer than mineral oil-based. Once the scented candle has burned down, you can continue to use the decorative glass for a variety of purposes, because it comes with a lid made of dark-stained oak wood (FSC® certified). Practical in addition: it can serve as a coaster for the burning scented candle and thus protects the base from heat. Half of the smoked glass is made of recycled glass.

Looops has given its scented candles a new look and partly a new name. Who already knows the candles and now wants to repurchase the fireplace whisper, choose the scented candle homecoming, the feel-good time has turned into leisure time.

In the mountains, they say, the mind is so free. In the mountains, more precisely in the Salzkammergut region on the northern edge of the Alps, Julia Schliefsteiner and Markus Niederfriniger also had the idea for their own fragrancekerzen-Manufaktur, in order to capture the scents of nature, preserve them and take them home with them. The fire was lit: they founded Looops Kerzenmanuaktur, and the deeper they delved into the world of scents and aromas, the more the realization grew of how far-reaching their effects can be and that the findings of aromatherapy can be wonderfully combined with their new craft. So Julia Schliefsteiner directly followed the aromatherapy training and is now very familiar with the gentle extraction of essential oils and their effects.

True to their principle "Nature is good the way it is", they add neither artificial nor synthetic substances and use natural wax obtained from rapidly renewable plants (soy and rapeseed) - which has the side benefit that these plant-based candles burn longer and soot less than mineral oil-based ones. The wicks are made of pure cotton or even wood. All fragrances are created in the company's own "kitchen" near Salzburg, where the scented candles are made by hand - a complex process with many steps. It begins with the extraction of the valuable, fragrance-giving and highly effective oils from herbs, flowers and fruits. In the case of new creations, the mixtures of essential oils first rest for a while so that the various fragrance components blend into a single unit. Only then are small test candles poured and the scents tested over several days. The creations are usually inspired by the landscape of the Salzkammergut, the herbs on the alpine pastures or the forest shortly after the rain. Because a hike through the mountains and nature not only clears the mind, but also fills it with new ideas.
