The Story Behind Au-Dela De Belle: Why I Started My Candle Business
Candles have always held a special place in my life. Their warm glow, soothing scents, and ability to transform a space into a sanctuary have been a source of comfort and inspiration for me. But Au-Dela De Belle is more than just a candle brand it’s a reflection of my journey, my passion for self-care, and my desire to create something meaningful that others can experience and enjoy.
A Passion for Ambience and Wellness
I’ve always been drawn to the way scents can evoke memories and emotions. Whether it was the calming aroma of lavender helping me unwind after a long day or the invigorating scent of citrus lifting my spirits in the morning, I realized how much impact a simple fragrance could have on my mood and well-being.
At the same time, I became more conscious of the products I was using in my home. Many commercial candles contain synthetic fragrances and toxins that can be harmful to breathe in daily. That’s when I began researching natural alternatives, learning about clean-burning waxes, essential oils, and the art of candle-making.
Turning a Hobby Into a Business
What started as a personal project hand-pouring candles in my kitchen and experimenting with different scent combinations quickly grew into something more. Friends and family started asking for custom candles, and I saw how much joy my creations brought to others.
That’s when the idea for Au-Dela De Belle was born. I wanted to create a brand that not only provided luxurious, high quality candles but also encouraged people to slow down, embrace self-care, and find beauty in the simple moments.
The Meaning Behind the Name
“Au-Dela De Belle” translates to “Beyond Beauty” in French, a name that represents my belief that true beauty comes from within. It’s about creating experiences, emotions, and atmospheres that make us feel good not just on the surface, but deep in our souls.
Au-Dela De Belle began with a passion for handcrafted candles, creating luxurious scents that elevate self-care and ambiance.
