    Meet Madeleine

    Candle Maker

    Introducing Madeleine Romero, the visionary founder behind Candle Salon and Chandelier, an exquisite organic candle brand that captures the essence of elegance and sustainability. With a background in international fashion design, Madeleine's passion for fragrances and interior design inspired her to embark on a journey to create her own candle company.

    It all started with a gift voucher for a luxury cosmetics store in Amsterdam. Upon the suggestion of her colleague, Madeleine purchased a scented candle from a renowned French brand. As the flickering flame filled the room with its enchanting aroma, she was captivated by a newfound sensation, igniting her desire to craft her own signature candles.

    Driven by her commitment to health and sustainability, Madeleine delved into the world of candle making, discovering that many brands utilised paraffin, an ingredient she deemed unfavourable. As a dedicated vegan, she set out to develop a line of candles made exclusively from plant-based and organic materials. After months of meticulous testing, she perfected her formula, creating candles that not only filled spaces with exquisite scents but also aligned with her values.

    With unwavering determination, Madeleine built her brand, personally handling sales and establishing partnerships with prominent businesses. Candle Salon workshops have been a cornerstone of her success for three years, initially situated near Amsterdam's central station and now thriving in Alkmaar, housed within an old print shop alongside other passionate entrepreneurs.

    At Candle Salon, sustainability is paramount. The candles are crafted using the eco-friendly vegetable wax derived from the vibrant Brassica napus flower. This wax is sourced sustainably in Europe, ensuring it is free from GMOs, cruelty-free, and harmless to both humans and wildlife. Free from additives, petroleum, preservatives, and phthalates, Candle Salon candles offer a pure and exquisite olfactory experience. Each candle is meticulously hand-poured in small batches, reflecting a commitment to exceptional quality and craftsmanship.

    Presented in luxurious white glass jars and rigid boxes, Candle Salon candles are not just a delight for the senses but also a sophisticated addition to any space. What started as Madeleine's vision has evolved into a family business, with her daughters, son, and husband contributing to the journey of Candle Salon's growth.

    Join Madeleine on a sensory adventure, immersing yourself in the art of candle making, and discover the beauty and sustainability that lie within each flickering flame. Candle Salon invites you to experience the epitome of refined craftsmanship and indulge in the exquisite scents that define their organic candle collection.
