The story behind the business
Meet SevenSeventeen

Located on the Sussex Coast, Naomi and Sarah are two friends and former magazine journalists whose love of scented candles inspired them to launch their own vegan-friendly collection in 2016 that not only smells good but DOES good!

Created to help find calm amidst the daily chaos, it was always the dream that the sales of their mood-boosting candles should help light the way for those struggling on a bigger scale. With this in mind, they are proud to donate 10% of profits from their sumptuous collection to mental health charities Pandas Foundation, Calm and Sane.

Using a combination of essential oils and high quality fragrance oils, they hope you'll love how SevenSeventeen candles use clean-burning soy wax, natural cotton wicks and recycled glass jars. Featured in The Guardian and Elle Decoration, they have been complemented for their 'great throw and lovely scents' by Guardian beauty columnist Sali Hughes and for being 'simple in design, beautiful in quality' by beauty expert Caroline Hirons.

Each candle has a super burn time of up to 70 hours for a triple wick size and along with its own soothing mantra, pausing to light one is all about enjoying a moment to take stock and unwind. When Naomi and Sarah were setting up the brand, that golden strike of the match fell at around SevenSeventeen (once their small children were snuggled up in bed), hence their name!
