Voluspa

Voluspa – Scented candles and diffusers for a fragrant home

Voluspa was founded in California in 1999 by entrepreneurs and artisans Traci and Troy Arntsen. Traci’s interest in botany and essential oils combined with her passion for fragrance was the basis for Voluspa to start producing their own fragrance, while Troy’s passion for travel and business has made Voluspa one of the world’s leading brands of luxury scented candles and diffusers.

Which Voluspa candles are the most popular?

Voluspa presents a wide range of fragrant glass candles, tin candles and diffusers. Some of the most popular fragrances include:

• Milk Rose
• Mokara
• Gardenia colonia

Where does the name 'Voluspa' come from?

The name Voluspa comes from an Old Norse poem about how the world was created from chaos. The founders Traci and Troy Arntsen believe that beautiful things are born out of great passion, hence the name of the company Voluspa.

Homemade candles & exquisite scents

Beautiful fragrances, reusable containers and perfectly produced candles describes the Voluspa brand at best.

Their range offers meticulously handcrafted scented candles and diffusers with a range of rare, exotic scents packed in an elegant and chic way. Voluspa has never sold a candle that they have not made themselves, something that they are very proud of.

In addition to their own production of candles and scent diffusers, the development of their fragrances is well thought-out and of course developed in-house. Voluspa produces its own scents and works with rare ingredients that are selectively purchased world-wide. Each ingredient contributes to an exclusive scent which gives their home-made candles an exquisite quality.

Long-lasting candles made from quality ingredients

In recent years, Voluspa has engaged in research and development, which has led them to being today one of the first companies to use a coconut wax mixture in their candles.

The self-developed process begins with cold-pressed coconut oil from fresh fruit. The oil is then converted to coconut wax by hydrogenation. The coconut wax mixtures mean that the candles do not soot, provided you take care of them according to the care instructions. The candles are filled with as many fragrances as the candle mass can handle, which helps the candles to maintain their scent from start to finish.

Voluspa – sustainable scented candles

Voluspa guarantees that all their candles are eco-friendly and sustainably made with no pesticides and parabens. Their candles also contain 100% natual wicks.

First a candle, then a stylish storage container

Voluspa candles are far too beautiful not to use once the wax has burned out. In fact, from the beginning, it has been Voluspa’s idea that the container should be reusable. When the candle has burned out, you can use the container, for example, as a tea light holder, a storage jar for pens or make-up brushes, or even as a small vase.

How to remove wax residue from a burned out Voluspa candle

• Place the container in the freezer for 2-3 hours.
• Use a knife to remove the wax residue. The wax will break easily into large pieces once it has cooled.
• Remove the metal plate that holds the wick from the bottom of the container.
• Wipe the container inside and out with a warm cloth to remove any more wax residue.

How to evenly burn your Voluspa candle

Let the candle burn long enough so that the entire top layer of wax becomes liquid – this may take a few hours. Then when you extinguish the flame, the surface will solidify evenly. If the candle goes out before the entire top layer has become liquid, then the wax will be uneven as it solidifies.

Tips for less soot and a longer burn time

Trim the wick to 0.6 mm before each use. This prevents soot and fluttering flames and extends the burning time of the candle.

Care instructions for your Voluspa scented candles

• After lighting your candle, allow the entire wax surface to melt out to the edge of the vessel so that the wax mass does not become uneven as it solidifies.
• Always place the candle on a heat-resistant surface.
• Cut the wick to 0.6 cm before lighting the candle.
• Do not let the candle burn for more than 3-4 hours at a time.
• When the wick gets a rounded, charred tip, extinguish it and let it cool.
• Then you can carefully press out the tip with some kitchen paper.
• The container can become very hot during use, allow it to cool down before moving the candle.
• Only burn the candle under supervision.
• Discard the candle when there is approximately 5 mm of wax left in the container.
