What began as a hobby quickly evolved into a thriving business. After moving from the picturesque Lake District in the UK to the beautiful Algarve in 2015, a passion for luxurious candles—without hefty price tags or hidden toxins—turned into a creative outlet during the Covid lockdown in early 2020.
Candle-making became a shared passion and a meaningful part of daily life for Lauren and Pamela. As more people discovered these handcrafted scents, their little hobby began to flourish, leading to an expansion beyond home kitchens. On October 6th, 2020, a leap of faith was taken by moving into half of a warehouse in Boliqueime, which has since become a creative haven where every candle is lovingly made by Lauren and Pamela by hand.
Fragrances draw inspiration from the Algarve’s natural beauty—sun-soaked landscapes, refreshing coastal breezes, and warm, earthy tones that embody the spirit of the region. Every order and customer is deeply appreciated, and there is excitement to welcome candle lovers into this vibrant community.
All products are thoughtfully hand-poured using natural soy wax and premium fragrance oils. Each candle features a natural wooden wick for a clean burn and an even melt pool, minimizing wax waste and enhancing longevity. The entire range is vegan-friendly and free from paraffin and phthalates, reflecting a commitment to purity, quality, and care. By choosing Lauren and Pamela’s handcrafted candles, customers are not just purchasing a product but supporting a passion for sustainable and luxurious candle-making.
