A roaring bonfire lights up the autumn evening, and the leathery scent of wood mixes with the earthy aroma of the forest floor and fleshy figs. You say farewell to late summer sunshine and hello to the comforts of the cooler season.

When creating a new candle, ester & erik’s scented candle designer Emmanuel Martini always uses colours and images inspired by Scandinavia to find the right scent for the candle. He draws inspiration from the Nordic countryside and from observing the Danes going about their daily lives, his creativity and imagination being sparked by the feelings aroused by the sea, glowing embers, plants or a pine forest. Often he selects a single detail from his experience, which he magnifies and transforms into a fragrance and colour symbol.
