Our story
Angie Ness explains the evolution of Kestrel Candles…
The journey
This journey began in 2014...
A sudden unexpected tragedy rocked the family.
Beach walks, the coastal breeze and ocean dips eased the pain of losing someone so unexpectedly, but not completely.
The nightly ritual of burning a candle became an obsession. Slowly, this led to a desire to create my own.
After many months of research, planning and persistence, the Kestrel Candle came to be. Each scent has a story. Each candle is a story of love, life and hope.
Our Scents
Which scent will you choose?
Candle scents trigger various emotions, boost your mood and are known to benefit the mind, body and soul.
Floral scents such as Jasmine can help reduce stress and support a positive state of mind. The sweet scent of Vanilla is uplifting and relaxing and its sweet scent can even curb cravings.
Woody scents such as Cedar and Pine, are relaxants and can reduce stress. Lavender and Cinnamon are great for concentration and increasing attention span.
While citrus scents such as Orange and Bergamot can clear the mind and improve productivity. Patchouli and Musk are calming scents that alleviate stress and anxiety.
Each candle scent consists of three levels: top, middle and base notes.
Top notes are light, fresh and uplifting and are the first aromas to be noticed.
Middle notes normally give body to the blend and have a balancing effect and bottom notes are normally intense and dominant and develop over time.
Scented candles create a multi-sensory experience and evoke emotions, experiences and memories. They create an ambient atmosphere, relaxing environment and give a room a sense of being.
