our story
skkienn came alive at a time where the world was paused. The pandemic impacted us all, and whilst uncertainty and loss seemed inevitable we had decided that the spare time indoors, imposed on us, would actually represent the perfect occasion to bring thoughts into existence.
slightly obsessed with home fragrances, you will always find candles in every corner of our home. Very attached to olfactory memories, we believe that scents play a great part in remembering someone’s fragrance, recollecting a holiday destination or even food at your favourite restaurant.
We realised that the majority of candles we had bought in the past were a letdown when it came to unique scent. When we looked closely at the components, we instantly regretted not knowing more about what’s used to make candles. Disappointed with our favourite home fragrances and quite worried about what we had put our lungs through, we explored the making of homemade candles and this time, we were to be in charge of what we put in. After successful results and numerous tests, we decided to develop our own range of candles. Passionate about design, rare were the candles we had bought in the past looking amazing or just fitting right with our interior so we developed a very discreet, monochromatic design with a matte finish. Drop 1 has inaugurated the launch and we truly cannot wait for skkienn to flourish further.
