Inspired by the union of fragrance & light, we merge distinctive hand-blended scents, inspired by meaningful people & places, beautiful spaces and childhood memories, with natural wicks & waxes to create our unique range of scented candles. Our candles are inspired by the subtle fragrances of meaningful people & places, beautiful spaces and childhood memories;
..the woody perfume of walking among tall cedars;
..the inexpressible fragrance of ancient stones baked in the sun;
..the odour of ancient monasteries & sacred spaces;
..the aroma of flower-filled farmers markets;
..and the scent of the ocean.

THE SPARK
Leana Clunies Ross is the spark that ignited the 1 Lux Candle Co. A photographer by trade with a passion for style, fashion, beauty, portraiture, travel, gardening, design & decor. For a photographer, light is central, enthralling and inspiring, but creating exceptional imagery is more than capturing light. For Leana, it's the creation of aesthetic moments using all senses; sight, smell, touch, sound, taste and intuition, and being spatially aware to search for and create calm environments. Scent is central to immersion in these aesthetic moments and calm environments, whether they be places of worship or pleasure, holistic treatment, cooking, gardening, socialising or just sitting alongside an ocean, river or lake. In her search for fragrance, Leana drew on her scent memories of having grown up with lush gardens and seaside holidays. She steers away from garish, predictable smells and explores unusual and raw elements searching for the unexpected sensual memories which shape our lives.
