Introduction

First of all, welcome to OSCAR luxury, a brand founded by a former stockbroker who ended up in Brasschaat and got tired of living behind screens. The high standard of luxury around him inspired him to turn his hobby (he made candles out of champagne bottles) into his new passion in life, candles. His roots as a butcher’s son are still evident today in the use of raw materials such as concrete, hides and skins. Whereas as a trader he had to be creative with numbers, now he could be creative to his heart’s content with wax, wicks and scents.

To be able to give something back to society, OSCAR luxury is strongly rooted in Belgian society and we gladly support local social organisations with which we collaborate. Besides candles, we also make home and body products such as diffusers and roomsprays. Our luxury scented candles are handmade in our factory in Brecht, only this way we can guarantee the quality. We only work with the best European raw materials, our fragrances are developed together with top experts and our glass is mouth-blown in Europe. Therefore, we do not make any concessions in terms of quality, we always set the bar higher, we are rarely satisfied.

Wooden wicks and mouth-blown glass

We are passionate about everything we do, which is why we only wanted to create luxury scented candles with a fiery wooden wick. Nothing looks more natural than a crackling wooden wick( in our largest candles we use 10 wooden wicks). In order to use wooden wicks, very strong glass is required. We therefore work with the world’s best European mouth-blown glass.

Sustainable

The materials we use are as sustainable as possible. We work with German paraffin made from the most purified residual product from aircraft paraffin. This pure fat has no other use and is therefore perfectly suitable for making beautiful candles! By the way, we only use candle wax that meets the strictest European standards. By definition, we do not work with vegetable-based candle wax. The idea that rainforests are cut down to make soya fields, fields for which thousands of mice and countless insects are fought… just to make plants from which candles are then made (which burn badly, by the way)… No, we do not participate in this commercial hype and choose what we believe to be a more sustainable solution. The skins we use for our candles come from residual waste, we use them to make something beautiful instead of throwing it away. No animal dies for a candle, just so you know, we are animal lovers ourselves and have even named our brand after our Lhasa Apso dog Oscar!

Fragrances

Everything stands or falls with a good fragrance! We like to go on a discovery tour for special fragrances with a story. In our flagship shop in Knokke at Dumortierlaan 115, we test all our fragrances for our international customers. In this way, we have already tested and further developed numerous home fragrances, more about our fragrances can be found here!

What makes us unique?

there are thousands of candle brands, why OSCAR candles? Where many candle brands buy up glass vases and have them filled in an existing candle factory (even though they often claim that they make the candles themselves, when they don’t), we have our own candle factory in Brecht. We therefore have complete control over the quality and only use the most expensive paraffin. We do not economise on anything, while the large factories never want to go for the very best quality, because lower quality, in their eyes, is not immediately noticeable. We, however, know better! A well-known trick of many is that they fill the candle with little perfume and then pour a top layer with a lot of perfume. Because of this, the candle smells like a lot of perfume but once you light it, the smell quickly diminishes. In our case, the bottom centimetre has the same scent as the top one. What you see is what you get!
