Candles Scandinavia is a leading European player in sustainable fragrant products for the home and operates within three business areas: Private Label, D2C, and B2B. Within Private Label, the group develops and manufactures environmentally friendly fragrant products for external brands, with a focus on scented candles but also room fragrances and fragrance sprays. Within D2C, the group sells products directly to consumers through the German subsidiary HashtagYou under its own brands AVA & MAY and Club Noé. Within B2B, specially developed product series are sold under its own brands to retailers.
The group's products are built on natural and sustainable raw materials. The scented candles are produced with 100 percent plant-based, biodegradable wax based on Swedish-grown rapeseed and offer a more environmentally friendly alternative to the paraffin-dominated market. Through large-scale and automated production combined with own brands and multiple sales channels, Candles Scandinavia has built a scalable platform for continued growth. The group has an annual revenue of approximately 500 MSEK and currently sells products in about 40 countries.
