Yvelis Candle Shop

Countryside Workshop Haven

In the peaceful enclave of Nysättra, just beyond Norrtälje in Roslagen, Yvelis emerges as a dedicated candle-making workshop enveloped by lush greenery and forest scents. Here, every candle is handcrafted with meticulous care, using Swedish rapeseed wax and olive stearin—materials chosen for their purity and sustainability. The air carries whispers of fragrance oils and melting wax, mingling with the fresh breath of surrounding woods, creating an atmosphere of authentic craftsmanship since the venture's start in 2011.

Artisanal Candle Creations

Yvelis specializes in vegan candles that prioritize health and environmental harmony, eschewing paraffin and palm oil for natural alternatives. Scented varieties evoke cozy narratives: ripe apples laced with warm spices and oak, or soft wild berry notes that infuse spaces with gentle warmth. Stearin pillar candles take whimsical forms—owls perched wisely, bunnies hopping playfully, yarn balls ready to unravel—each poured by hand in the adjacent workshop, ensuring uniqueness in every flicker.

Cozy Shop Treasures

Step into the small, welcoming shop beside the workshop, where shelves brim with the full Yvelis range. Reed diffusers release lingering aromas without flame, while curated gift items like candle holders, decorative metal animals, and eco-friendly skincare from like-minded Swedish brands enhance the selection. The rustic interior, marked by a simple sign on a red building, invites lingering amid the symphony of birdsong and subtle wax scents, perfect for selecting pieces that bring home's glow.

Family Craft Legacy

Founded by Yvonne and Jörgen, Yvelis embodies a family passion for quality scents that soothe rather than overwhelm. Their hands-on approach in this rural atelier yields products designed for everyday joy—mild fragrances that endure without headaches, crafted for trust and reliability. Over a decade, this dedication has refined techniques, blending tradition with innovation to offer affordable luxury rooted in Swedish values of sustainability and simplicity.

Seasonal and Sensory Allure

Candles capture Roslagen's rhythms: autumnal spice warms chilly days, while lighter notes suit brighter seasons. The shop's countryside setting amplifies the sensory experience—forest freshness pairs with candle glow, turning a visit into a multisensory retreat. Exclusive in-store finds, unavailable online, reward those seeking tangible connections to this handmade world, where each item carries the essence of its woodland birthplace.
