L'aime means the beloved

A simple concept, but of great value to every person. During a difficult time, founder Cloé received love and warmth in the form of dozens of candles lit for her. This gave strength and positivity and inspired her to establish this brand. On the 'press' page of our website, there is an extended version of how our brand came to be, narrated by Jan Magazine.

Wishing candles by L'AIMÉ are handmade in Holland with natural oils sourced from traditional perfumers in Grasse. Each candle carries a unique scent and wish - specially conceived to celebrate every occasion, and reflect on every special moment.

Wishing you all the light of the world,

Cloé Maria Kersten

Sustainable candles through responsible business practices

L'AIMÉ's wishing candles are made with love for people and the environment. By not producing on a large scale, using handmade products and working with local craftsmen, we work sustainably, ethically and aesthetically. This is why the candles are hand-poured and made locally in the Netherlands, based on a blend of natural premium oils, sourced from perfumers in the southern French town of Grasse. This process gives each of our scented candles its own character and unique scent. And makes celebrating beautiful moments or just dwelling on special events even more special. Our collection consists of products made from natural materials. For example, we use recycled glass from the Netherlands to make the L'AIMÉ candles. Whenever possible, everything is sourced locally. For a number of items in the collection, L'AIMÉ works with craftspeople from India. For this, we pay a fair price and are constantly alert to checking the right working conditions. This way we can guarantee a fair and sustainable product.

Burning a candle for a loved one

Burning a candle for someone is a symbolic act performed in different cultures and religions. Here are some reasons why people may light a candle for someone:

  1. Prayer and spiritual support: Burning a candle can be a form of prayer. People burn a candle to offer spiritual strength and support to those for whom they are praying. It can be a way to send their thoughts, wishes and good energy to that person.

  2. Remembrance and tribute: Burning a candle can be done in memory of a deceased person. It is a way to show respect, keep the memory alive and honor the person who is no longer physically present.

  3. Healing and hope: Burning a candle for someone's health can be an expression of hope and wishes for healing. It can convey a positive intention and offer a sense of support and comfort to the person who is ill.

  4. Protection and blessing: In some cultures, it is believed that burning a candle can offer protection to a person. It can be done to ward off negative energy, to ask for blessings or to create a safe and positive environment.

  5. Inner peace and meditation: Lighting a candle can be a calming and meditative act. People can light a candle to create an atmosphere of calm and serenity, both for themselves and others.

  6. Symbolic meaning: Candles often have a symbolic meaning of light, hope, warmth and spiritual connection. Burning a candle can be a way to embrace this symbolism and share it with others.

It is important to note that the meaning and intention behind lighting a candle can vary depending on one's personal beliefs, religion and culture.
