AWAKEN YOUR SENSES WITH UNIQUE FRAGRANCES — CANDLES & WORKSHOPS FROM LIT LAB BERLIN

AWAKEN YOUR SENSES WITH UNIQUE FRAGRANCES — CANDLES & WORKSHOPS FROM LIT LAB BERLIN

Did you know that smell is the strongest of our five senses? So strong that just a whiff of something special can bring us right back to moments from our past. That’s what Lit Lab founder Mallory Chen is working with. The Ohio native creates scented candles that are as individual as her customers, reconstructing aromas from treasured memories. In her fragrance library, you can smell your way through classic scents like jasmine and lavender, as well as more unusual options like birthday cake or driftwood, creating your own personal candle (with traditional top, heart and base notes) from soy wax. The highlight: they’re housed in stunning concrete holders handmade by Mallory herself and designed to be refilled again and again. Her creations have become popular, being sold at the likes of Merci in Paris. In the Berlin shop meanwhile you can have your own scented candle put together and choose from the most popular house mixes, while the workshops introduce you to Mallory’s olfactory world – nostalgia included.
