Craftmanship
Where Intent Meets Art
At CLIOS, craftsmanship is not a stage in the process — it is the process.
Every candle begins with a commitment to purity, precision and quiet luxury.
What follows is a journey through Europe’s finest materials and the careful, considered hands that bring them together.
1. Our Making Philosophy
We don’t rush.
We don’t cut corners.
We create with intention — understanding that luxury is defined not by excess, but by care, detail and restraint.
Each CLIOS candle is made in small batches, allowing us to refine every step:
the pour, the temperature, the cure, the scent throw, the final finish.
This is slow craft — elevated.
2. Our Wax Blend
A candle is only as pure as the wax it burns.
Our bespoke coconut and natural beeswax blend is created for:
- a cleaner, more stable burn
- reduced soot and smoke
- stronger, more consistent scent diffusion
- a luminous, soft golden flame
- a smoother melt pool from start to finish
This blend took months of testing, refinement and patience — the foundation of CLIOS quiet luxury.
3. Fragrance — Composed in France
All CLIOS scents begin their life in France, the global heart of perfumery.
Working with master perfumers, each fragrance is developed with:
- refined aromatic structure
- long-lasting performance
- balanced top, heart and base notes
- emotional resonance — calm, warmth, intimacy, ritual
These fragrances are intentionally crafted to create atmosphere, not overwhelm it.
4. Beeswax — Sourced in Devon, England
Our natural beeswax is sourced from countryside farms in Devon known for sustainable beekeeping and clean, untreated wax.
Beeswax brings:
- a naturally clean burn
- longer burn times
- air-purifying ion release
- a warm golden tone
- luxury weight and density
It is a signature element of CLIOS quality.
5. Glassware — Crafted in Italy
Our minimalist vessels are made in Italy, a country renowned for glass artistry and precision.
The design reflects the CLIOS aesthetic:
- timeless silhouette
- weighted base
- premium clarity and finish
- refillable and reusable
- elegant enough to stand alone as décor
Each vessel is chosen with intention — nothing disposable, nothing excessive.
6. Eco Wicks — Engineered in Germany
Our wicks are German-made eco wicks, designed for:
- clean, stable burning
- reduced carbon output
- excellent performance with beeswax-rich blends
- consistent melt-pool formation
- controlled flame height
Each candle is wicked by hand to match its exact wax blend and jar diameter.
7. Hand-Poured in Royal Leamington Spa
This is where the journey becomes human.
Each CLIOS candle is:
- heated slowly
- blended with precision
- poured at the perfect temperature
- cooled gradually to prevent cracks
- cured for optimal fragrance throw
- inspected and finished by hand
This level of attention cannot be replicated by machines or mass production.
8. Small-Batch Artistry
We pour in deliberately small batches to ensure:
- controlled temperatures
- perfect fragrance dispersion
- even setting and curing
- quality checks at every stage
- craftsmanship that large-scale production cannot match
Luxury is a craft — not a factory line.
9. Sustainability at the Core
Our commitment goes beyond the candle itself.
We prioritise:
- clean, safe ingredients
- recyclable and reusable materials
- ethical sourcing
- minimal, timeless packaging
- low-waste production
- transparent processes
Luxury becomes meaningful when it considers the world around it.
10. The CLIOS Standard
Every CLIOS candle is rigorously tested for:
- burn consistency
- scent throw performance
- flame stability
- wax adhesion
- glass durability
- safety and composition standards
If a candle doesn’t meet our expectations, it doesn’t leave the studio.
A Ritual of Craft and Quiet Luxury
CLIOS candles are not mass-produced.
They are crafted, refined and built to last — each one a reflection of calm, intention and European artistry.
CLIOS. Crafted with care.
Burned with purpose.
Remembered with glory.
