The Velona scented candle is covered in raffia crocheted and embroidered by the women of a cooperative in Madagascar. A pattern of ochre and saffron yellow stripes, accented with black, gives the candle a highly decorative look that will look great in any holiday home. A raffia ruffle embroidered in black is placed at an angle on the object, reinforcing this fashion-inspired decorative perception.
Velona means «living being» in Malagasy.

Know-how
Raphia is an endemic plant species harvested every year. The leaves are dried, then cut into long strips for dyeing and crocheting. Our women's cooperative in Madagascar has been making our Raphia candles for 8 years, under the impetus of our creative direction. The motifs are first designed and then produced by the crocheters in Madagascar. This annual project enables women to make a decent living and send their children to school.
Use
The quality of our scented candles involves a specific burning ritual. Each time the candle is burned, it is important to wait until the entire surface liquefies before extinguishing the candle. This will prevent the formation of craters which are unattractive and make burning more difficult. The first time you light your candle, it will always burn for longer than on subsequent occasions. Allow time for the first layer of wax to liquefy completely. The length of time this takes varies depending on the size of the candle.
Never burn the last 1cm (1/2 inch) of wax to avoid flames burning against the glass.
Ingredients
In compliance with the latest regulations, we provide full ingredient transparency for all our scented candles. Our candles are crafted using a premium blend of waxes and high-quality fragrances. Each fragrance composition may include a combination of essential oils (e.g., eucalyptus, geranium, citrus, etc.) and fragrance components (e.g., benzyl salicylate, linalool, limonene, geraniol, eucalyptol, etc.). The exact composition varies by fragrance, and specific details can be found on the individual product packaging. Some of our candles contain naturally occurring fragrance allergens that may cause reactions in sensitive individuals. These may include, but are not limited to, linalool (found in floral and herbal scents, may cause irritation), limonene (derived from citrus oils, a potential sensitizer), geraniol (present in rose and geranium oils, may cause skin sensitivity), eucalyptol (found in eucalyptus oil, may cause irritation in sensitive individuals), and benzyl salicylate (common in floral fragrances, a potential allergen). For a full list of allergens in a specific scent, please refer to the product label or contact our customer service team.
