Olfactif: a sensory and introspective experience made in Paris

Launched in 2022, Paris-based Olfactif reinvents the world of scented candles with an approach that combines astrology, artisanal fragrance and clean design. Created by Alexia Capron and Elisabeth Koskas, this initiative offers a unique immersion into the heart of oneself, thanks to personalized, messenger candles.

A candle, a message

Each Olfactif candle contains a personalized astral portrait, based on your date of birth and your sun, moon and ascendant signs. Hidden in the wax, this introspective capsule gradually reveals itself over the hours of burning (up to 60 hours). The candle becomes a tool for refocusing and reconnecting with your inner self.

A collection in harmony with the stars

Inspired by the 12 signs of the zodiac, the candles are divided into four categories corresponding to the astrological elements: Fire, Earth, Air and Water. Each fragrance has been carefully designed to reflect the character of each sign. For example, Cancer natives will find soothing notes of mint tea, while Leos will enjoy the intensity ofamber.

In addition to candles, Olfactif offers a range of handcrafted soaps made in the South of France. These products, formulated with natural ingredients such as olive and coconut oil, offer a sensory experience that echoes the astrological elements.

Responsible design and manufacturing

Each candle is housed in an elegant glazed ceramic case, handcrafted in Portugal. The fragrances, designed in Grasse, feature exceptional raw materials, while the soy- and coconut-based vegetable wax guarantees environmentally-friendly, paraffin-free combustion.

This minimalist, functional aesthetic is accompanied by a strong commitment to responsible practices, in collaboration with artisans in France, Spain and Portugal.
