The Very Good Candle Company

Based in Amsterdam, NL

The Very Good Candle Company is an eco-friendly and cruelty-free natural goods company, focused on non-toxic, plant-based candles. Sustainability is their focus and their rapeseed candles are all hand-poured into beautiful recycled amber glass jars in their small studio and workshop space, located in Amsterdam West.

The makers, Isil and Emre, are a music-loving couple who are passionate about living an eco-friendly life. Their love for music and the places we’ve been form the inspiration for our first scented line of candles. The scents are inspired by various music festivals and their unique locations all over the world; Coachella in the Californian desert, Glastonbury in the British rolling hills and Fuji Rock, an incredible festival held in the mountains of Japan.

Having worked in marketing for over 13 years, some unexpected changes lead Isil to want to create something herself that she truly beleived in.

'Candles have always been a part of my life. They remind me of fun family times. When the electricity cut out, we always used to gather around the candle light and tell each other stories, which was definitely more fun than what we tend to do now; scroll through our mobiles'
