SevenSeventeen was founded on the Sussex Coast by two friends and former magazine journalists who shared a love for beautifully scented candles and a commitment to doing good. 

Today it continues to be independently run by Naomi who leads the brand with the same values and care it was built on. From day one, our mission has remained the same: to create cruelty-free, mood-boosting candles that not only smell incredible but also support mental health charities through the power of giving back.

Since launching our very first candle seven years ago, we've grown to offer a thoughtful range of candles, diffusers, room mists and more - and are proud to have donated over £60,000 to causes close to our heart, including PANDAS Foundation, SANE, and CALM.

We've also collaborated on special-edition charity candles with some truly inspiring voices, including Stacey Solomon, Dr Alex George, and Giovanna Fletcher.

Each candle is hand-poured in England using sustainable soy wax, high-quality fragrance and essential oils, and natural cotton wicks - a combination designed to deliver a long, clean burn and a scent that truly fills the room. We hope you'll love them. Featured in The Guardian and Elle Decoration, our candles 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.

Our name, SevenSeventeen, is inspired by that quiet moment of calm when the day begins to slow and our homes start to exhale. It was once the time the founders would tuck their small children into bed and light a candle - a simple ritual that brought peace after the chaos. Today, it's a reminder to pause, breathe, and find stillness in the everyday.
