    The AFRICA COLLECTION

    The AFRICA COLLECTION

    Each year, The House of Opulence creates a limited edition scented candle collection. This year, we found our inspiration in African textile prints. We love its colorfulness, each pattern telling its own story, often a reflection of Africa’s impressive nature.
    On our travels, we have seen these precious prints being worn with pride by the beautiful people of Africa, to whom we pay tribute through this collection. With our candles we spread our light, love and scent and 10% of our revenues go to carefully selected funds helping African communities to build a sustainable future.
    We hope you enjoy the unique perfumes of this scented candle collection, which we blended with pure botanical waxes.
    The Africa Collection consists of five different designs and scents. To check them out, please click here

    For the love of my daughter Frederique

    By

    Love Sweet Love – the FEI FEI candle was made out of love for my precious daughter Frederique, who was born in Shanghai in 2011. Honoring her place of birth, we gave her the Chinese name Fei Fei (菲菲), which means luxuriant and rich with fragrance. This has inspired me to create this scented candle carrying her name scented with the delightful accords of rose, bergamot, amber, patchouli and white musk. Frederique picked the colour of the packaging, a warm and bright pink and was very much involved in selecting the final scent. After all, she should love it most! I very much hope you enjoy this scent as much as we do. With love & light, Amiek

    The story behind Reminiscence

    By

    Written by Amiek Krakers, founder & owner of The House of Opulence – As a little girl I loved being around my grandmother. She definitely was one of the most elegant women I know, always very stylish and very much ahead of her time. Sitting on her bed, I would watch her dressing herself and putting on her make-up and delicate perfume. None of it too much, always with subtleness. One of my favourites was her beautiful leather purse. I loved going through it, playing with her lipstick; the little perfume bottle; looking at some family pictures that were inside and from time to time steal a little mint. I vividly remember the scent of her purse, a blend of raw leather, perfume, a hint of vanilla and freshness of something minty.
