From Hive to Home
HONG KONG HOME FRAGRANCE BRAND CAROLL&CHAN OPENS ITS FIRST STORE IN THE COUNTRY—AND LIFESTYLE ENTHUSIASTS COULDN’T BE ANY HAPPIER!
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.
