Introducing Nevé: Sustainable Luxury Scented Candles and Room Sprays
Nevé pronounced ‘nee-vei’ is the exquisite word used to describe the partially compacted granular snow that forms the surface at the upper end of a glacier. Founded in the beautiful south, and inspired by Te Waipounamu’s striking Southern Alps, Nevé is a home fragrance brand that aims to pave the way and re-write the rules in sustainability. Nevé’s collection of mesmerising scented candles and room sprays add style and ambience to our interior spaces, while their wood wicks captivate with their flickering flame, soft crackling sound and long burn time.
The Sensory Magic of Candles
As many candle-enthusiasts know, candles instantly transform a space. There is something about their warmth and flickering magic that makes us feel safe and comfortable and they send a message to our sensory system that is both relaxing and indulgent. Their soft golden light and gentle scent ground and centre us, and studies show that they improve mood, calm the mind and are a great addition to a relaxation or nighttime routine. They signify ‘me time’ and tell our central nervous system that it’s time to switch off now as candles emit a soft warm glow as opposed to the bright blue light of our screens and are perfect for encouraging sleep.
Craftsmanship and Performance
The Nevé range of stunning hand poured candles use 100% natural soy wax and FSC Certified wood wicks sourced from sustainable timber mills in the US which means that the wood used is produced using only the highest standards in ethical and earth-friendly milling. These materials ensure a high-quality experience for the user.
Why Wood Wicks and Natural Soy Wax?
Wood wicks achieve a fast melt pool formation due to the ease of burning of the wood and allow for quick and excellent fragrance dispersion and maximum burn time resulting in a cleaner and greener burn. They also sound truly divine! Regarding the wax, a lower melting point means it burns up to 50% longer than paraffin wax candles. It’s also non-toxic, GMO free, clean burning (minimal soot is released) and releases no known carcinogens when it is burnt. The lower melting temperature creates a healthier ‘wax pool’ around the wick, allowing the fragrance oils to more easily evaporate and release more aroma.
