Luhme
HISTORY
Luhme is a small studio of aromatic candles thatwas born in Australia in 2020 and gained form in Portugal in 2021.
hey, my name is Ana and I'm the Mindmaster Luhme Studio. It all started with an unceasing search for a birthday present for a special person. In the middle of a pandemic, She lived in Brisbane (Australia) and was determined to find the ideal gift. However, the shops were closed and it was being a mess to find whatever it was. After a thousand turns to the head and already desperate, I found a kit of candles. Here became light 💡. And why not try making a candle and offering it?
As a consumer and passionate about candles that I am, I began to research, and I assure you that the more researchive i was more fascinated by the area. I quickly understood why they said candles are an art, it's not just melting wax and adding fragrance or essential oil. There is a giant panoply of waxes, wicks and fragrances. There are several arts inside the candle and it takes a lot of training, to err a lot and invest even more.
I started studying more and more, applying what I learned, and I started to get it right. The first batches of candles were Christmas gifts for all my friends and the feedback was unanimous The candles are beautiful, you should sell them. I'd be back in Portugal in a few months, and I thought Why not? I'm out of big plans, when I found out i already had a definite business plan.
''What lights you up?'' it was the signal that the universe sent me to leave on this adventure.
It's been two years since I made my first candles and it's exciting to see what I've already evolved.I tested various types of wax, various types of wicks, many fragrances. I have found that not even the best manual of the art of candles is the most complete and the most certain, because there are many variants. I tried making candles with secret messages, glass candles, candles with different wicks, tiny candles, giant candles. But it was the sculptural candles that fell in love with me.
Luhme candles started with the purpose of being an original piece to offer someone special, offering fragrance is risky but we guarantee that it is impossible to remain indifferent to such symbology. Each candle has a meaning, a mission. You can serve to energize and harmonize a space, your home. They can serve to embrace a person in the distance. We soon understand that the best meaning is who receives it. Things are what we make of them.
Although Luhme candles were created with the intention of decorating, they can be lit. They are made from soy wax, with wick in cotton wool so that the candle lasts longer. Fragrances and colors are chemical-free, and are not tested on animals.
In line with the original gifts and following your needs, we offer products that come with each other. The aromatic candles, the bases, the holy palo and the sage torches, the ceramics.
I hope you'll feel inspired here and let go of your imagination.
And to you, what lights you up?
A kiss, Ana

Our mission is to make your life lighter and simpler when it comes to offering an original gift. We create unique pieces and highly appreciated for their concept, beauty and aroma.
PHILOSOPHY
We want to be a brand that brings people closer, that pulls out smiles when you open the box and feel the fragrance invading the senses.
PROPOSAL
Based on the premise that less is more, the products Luhme are produced in small quantities so that there is no waste of both materials and energy. We reuse the packaging materials we receive to protect the products during shipment, so we use plastic because our suppliers send us. However, there is plenty of room to improve what we are doing. That is why we are constantly looking for more sustainable alternatives in all aspects.
