Hong Kong HOME FRAGRANCE brand Caroll&Chan opens its first store in the country— and lifestyle enthusiast­s couldn’t be any happier

TO THE DISCERNING, sprucing a home is not just a visual matter. The home’s aesthetics includes all senses. Not to be taken for granted is a home’s scent. One of the best ways to exude warmth and hospitalit­y at home is by adding a beautiful candle and cozying up its corners with pleasant scents. Whether you’re entertaini­ng friends indoors, relaxing after a long day or embracing the art of hygge, a candle just makes everything brighter and, of course, more fragrant.

If you’re looking for a shop to revamp your mood and space with the magic of a whiff, look no further than Hong Kongbased brand Caroll&Chan. This store recently opened in Manila carrying some of the most beautifull­y designed scented candles with Asian-inspired fragrances. The art work on each candle jar is derived from an original painting. “The actual sensation of burning a candle has something very comforting about it; it brings a sense of well-being, coziness, and friendline­ss compared to bright lights,” Caroll&Chan Hong Kong Creative Director Liana Cafolla says.

Bringing you the luxury of nature straight from hive to home, Caroll&Chan uses only 100% beeswax in all of their candles. It is sustainabl­e, renewable, and contains no toxins, parabens, or other pollutants. Plus, choosing beeswax candles gives you the advantage of cleaner, brighter, and long-burning candles without worrying about health and environmen­tal risks. “When we found beeswax, we had been working with lots of other waxes and Ian, the founder of the brand, started experiment­ing with beeswax. It has completely different qualities from other waxes. When it burns, it has a natural glow. It burns beautifull­y, and it’s completely clean,” Liana adds.

The brand continues to grow with 25 fragrance collection­s, spread across a vast product range including beeswax candles, matching reed diffusers, fragrance oils and other fragrance home accessorie­s.

Caroll&Chan is soon to launch sampaguita, a scent inspired by the Philippine­s. Visit Caroll&Chan at the 3/F of The Podium.
