Evîn: scented candles made in Zurich from coconut and apricot wax
In Zurich, Güllü Häberling hand-pours scented candles from coconut and apricot wax. A portrait of Evîn, a brand that blends oriental perfumery with Swiss natural treasures.
A candle made from coconut and apricot wax smells different from one made of pure paraffin. That’s precisely the idea behind Evîn, the Zurich brand by Güllü Häberling, who hand-pours her scented candles and blends essential oils into her own compositions. The brand’s name is short, but the ambition behind it is bigger: an olfactory experience that, by the brand’s own account, bridges oriental perfumery tradition and Swiss natural treasures. Anyone discovering the brand finds a product deliberately positioned between two worlds.
The story
Evîn is made in Zurich, founded and run by Güllü Häberling. Zurich is both the production site and the origin of the brand. Häberling pours the candles by hand, which places Evîn in the category of small, owner-led workshops rather than industrial mass production.
The range
Scented candles are at the heart of the offering. According to the brand, these are exclusive candles in a modern, elegant style, meant to open up a luxurious world of fragrance. The direction is clear: a product for people who value ambiance and scent at home, rather than a wide range of side products.
The craft
Every Evîn candle is based on a blend of coconut and apricot wax. Both waxes come from plant sources, setting them apart from purely mineral waxes, which are also common in candle-making. Added to this is a combination of essential oils that makes up the actual fragrance. Production takes place in Zurich, by hand, meaning each candle is poured individually rather than on an assembly line. For customers, that means a product with traceable, local origins rather than anonymous mass-produced goods.
What the brand stands for
Evîn describes itself as a provider of exclusive scented candles in a modern, elegant style, intended to offer a luxurious olfactory experience. The brand also states that it draws inspiration from oriental perfumes and from Switzerland’s natural treasures – a deliberate connection between two worlds of fragrance that rarely meet otherwise. Evîn further states that it offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee should you not be satisfied with a product.
For Swiss customers
Evîn is a Swiss brand based at Rainstrasse 90, 8143 Stallikon, while the candles themselves are made in Zurich. This keeps the whole chain, from production to registered address, firmly rooted in Switzerland.
Why we like it
We like the idea of connecting oriental worlds of fragrance with Swiss natural treasures, rather than settling for one side. The fact that every candle is hand-poured and made from plant-based wax gives the whole thing something tangible and personal.
Exactly the kind of brand we’d love to come across on O!deal one day.
