The NIDA JOURNEY collection — Kaunas, Vilnius, Nida and Klaipėda candles

LIGHT YOUR JOURNEY

COLLECTION 01 · LITHUANIA

Four Cities. One Journey.

This collection didn't start with a list of scent notes. It started with places I wanted to remember differently. Not in a photograph, but through atmosphere. The air by the water. The wood of old buildings. Sun-warmed sand. The evening when the city finally goes quiet. For each city, I looked not for its "typical" scent, but for how I remember it. That's how four Lithuanian places turned into four fragrance compositions.

Our Story

Four places. Four different memories.

KAUNAS Fresh and green. River air before the city wakes. VILNIUS Dark and warm. Old Town cobblestones after rain and evening light. KLAIPĖDA Salty and woody. The harbour at dusk when the city goes quiet. NIDA Sunny and calm. Warm sand, dry wood and the last light of the day. I wasn't looking for four scents that just smelled nice. I was looking for four scents that would bring you back to the place. Light your journey.

Where they live.

Linen, concrete, low winter light. Our candles are made for real rooms — a kitchen table at dusk, a bathroom after a long walk, a windowsill facing the Baltic.

How long does shipping take?

Lithuania: 1–2 working days. European Union: 2–5 working days. Rest of world: 5–10 working days. Every order is packed by hand within 24 hours and you receive a tracking link the moment it leaves the studio.

What is your returns policy?

Unused candles in their original packaging can be returned within 14 days of delivery for a full refund. Write to us and we will send return instructions the same day. If something arrives damaged, send a photo and we replace it immediately at our cost.

How long will my candle burn?

Each candle holds 140 g of natural soy wax and burns for up to 35 hours. On the first burn, let the wax pool reach the edge of the vessel — around 2–3 hours — so the candle burns evenly for the rest of its life.

How should I care for my candle?

Trim the wick to 5 mm before every burn, never burn for more than four hours at a time, and keep the flame away from draughts. Stop burning when 10 mm of wax remains, then wash the vessel with warm water and reuse it.

What is inside the wax?

100% natural soy wax, a braided lead-free cotton wick, and premium phthalate-free fragrance oils. No paraffin, no dyes, no animal products — and packaging that is plastic-free from box to tape.
