“My passion for fragrance and candle making started in Istanbul with mentor and close friend Katerina, who had dedicated part of her converted church into a laboratory.”

Renna discovered her life's passion for candle-making with Katerina. On bringing her first candle home, she was immediately taken by the transportative nature of living light and scent. It was through this childhood apprenticeship that a lifelong dedication to creating beautiful scented objects was born.

“I believe in the holistic power of scent to nurture all of the senses and in the positive impact that fragrance can have in reconnecting and bringing happiness.”

Renna pioneered the use of candles in massage and it’s this innovation that awarded the Candle Chef her prestigious business accolades for beauty innovation and international export.

“I wanted to share a pure botanical range of candles that brought a full immersive experience. One that allowed a total time out, to enjoy every moment. Enhancing the mood of every space, our fragrant candles take each sense into consideration.” Renna Danelutti, Founder.

The Mind to Body difference

There’s a fast way and a slow way, slow is best, always.

We have developed our own proprietary slow-cook method to delicately steep our fragrances into the wax for longer. Through a gentle infusion process, the integrity of delicate fragrance notes blend beautifully with our premium vegan candle mix to deliver a crisp scent throw. Our slow cook method can be felt with every candle you light. With our Signature Range candles, we use only food grade botanical oils to allow for their renowned multi-use from scented candle to warm massage oil and vitamin rich body lotion.
