About us
Every great journey starts with a simple moment. For us, it was a cozy movie night at home. Surrounded by the warm glow of candlelight, a simple idea sparked: why not create the perfect candle ourselves? A candle that isn't just a product, but a reflection of our shared passion and creativity.
We are a young couple from Zurich, and Scent of Origin is the result of our combined worlds.
Our Creative Partnership
In our small studio, we found a rhythm that defines every single one of our candles:
Filip is the Designer:
Creative at heart, Filip is the mind behind our aesthetic. He designs the labels, the packaging, and the visual identity of Scent of Origin, making sure that each jar is not just a scent, but a beautiful addition to your home.
Janine is the Maker:
With a deep love for candles and an eye for quality, she carefully hand-pours every single candle. Her focus is on the craftsmanship, ensuring that the soy wax and wicks are perfectly balanced for a clean, long-lasting burn.
Created Together
While we have our individual roles, the heart of our business is collaboration. Every new fragrance is a joint decision.
We spend hours testing scents, discussing memories they evoke, and refining ideas until they are ready to become reality. Every candle you hold is a piece of our shared journey.
Our mission...
...is to bring the world to life through fragrance.
Every fragrance carries its own origin, its own emotion, its own character. We explore traditions, landscapes, and cultures worldwide and translate these impressions into high-quality scented candles and wax creations that enrich everyday life.
From the selection of the finest fragrance oils to the precise pouring of our natural wax, our products are entirely hand-poured in Zürich, with a focus on quality, purity and timeless aesthetics.
