Vacant job

Candles Scandinavia is a leading European player in sustainable home fragrance products, operating within three business areas: Private Label, D2C, and B2B. Within Private Label, the group develops and manufactures eco-friendly fragrance products for external brands, focusing primarily on scented candles but also including room sprays and diffusers. Within D2C, the group sells products directly to consumers via its German subsidiary HashtagYou under its own brands, AVA & MAY and Club Noé. Within B2B, specially developed product ranges under its own brands are sold to retailers.

The group's products are based on natural and sustainable raw materials. The candles are produced using 100% plant-based, biodegradable wax based on Swedish-grown rapeseed, offering a more environmentally friendly alternative to the paraffin-dominated market. Through large-scale and automated production combined with own brands and multiple sales channels, Candles Scandinavia has built a scalable platform for continued growth. The group generates a turnover of approximately 500 MSEK and sells products in around 40 countries today.
