AQUIESSE evolved through the dreams of a little boy who had a passion for “experimenting” with aromas by combining his “not so thrilled” mother’s personal collection of refined, pricey bottles of perfume. This behavior would soon introduce a company in Santa Barbara, CA that would prove this little boy’s past annoying antics to have been quite worthwhile. This company is now backed by some of the most talented researchers in the world and these outstanding perfumers have presented some of the most harmonious, nature-influenced fragrances.
AQUIESSE Candles and Diffusers are found in a variety of fragrances, but the original scents were created from an assorted selection of ingredients found amongst the coastal region of Central California. The amazing scents of these candles and diffusers consist of clean mountain air, sweet florals, quenching fruits & citrus, fresh ocean spray and much more. In July of 2005, after long hours of research, they were first introduced by way of an old-world candle making technique.
This technique of making candles produces the most admired candles in the world, as they have been made this way in Paris for hundreds of years. This style of candle making simply cannot be matched by the modern way of making candles. They are only made with all natural fragrances and products, providing a fragrance that stays true through from the beginning to the end of the burn time, often making them the preferred candle of celebrities and interior decorators.
Because AQUIESSE Candles are made in this traditional way that dates back generations, Aquiesse can compete with the best and most respected candle makers in the industry. The use of a carefully developed soy wax blend, made from organic soybean oil and other natural ingredients, is the secret to the perfect candle base for these luscious fragrances.
All of the candles and diffusers are developed with great care and grouped into two collections: The Portfolio collection - inspired by the fascination of the natural beauty and scents of California, and the Exotic collection -- inspired by the graceful beauty of worldly and alluring aromas. They are stylishly boxed and make an ideal gift for every candle admirer.
The old-world candle making technique of AQUIESSE Candles ensures quality candles that will surround you with memorable nature inspired fragrances. Influenced by California's vintage coastal aromas, we have a deep admiration for these comforting scents that are perfectly blended in a proprietary soy wax, encased in the most exquisite thick smoke-brown glass vessels.
These are our three most admired AQUIESSE scents:
Boardwalk, Rioja and Luxe Linen.
AQUIESSE Boardwalk Candle
Boardwalk is a REMARKABLE fragrance! Notes of waffle cone, surf and sand, and driftwood will spark the memories of those special walks on the boardwalk. This candle would be a much appreciated gift for a friend who yearns to visit the beach but does not have the luxury of living close by.
Aquiesse Rioja Candle
The Rioja candle has an ENTICING scent! Wine is an integral part of Spanish culture and cuisine, and AQUIESSE has introduced its own unique expression of the aroma of Rioja wine. Vibrant hints of red currant, cassis, citrus and French oak compose an awakening scent that will please all who have a passion for Spanish wine.
AQUIESSE Luxe Linen Candle
Luxe Linen is AQUIESSE'S most POPULAR candle! Sometimes called the Egyptian Cotton Candle, inviting fragrances of warm linen, herbal tea and soothing sandalwood is the reason why it is the top selling candle. Now you can have that incredible smell of fresh clean cotton at a moment’s notice, when you light a Luxe Linen Candle.
