Andrea

Founder, House of Gandha

Andrea is the founder of House of Gandha, an independent, one-person aromatherapy candle brand based in Amsterdam. Every candle is poured by hand in small batches with coconut and rapeseed wax, pure essential oils and an unbleached cotton wick, and is built around a particular mood, from the fresh focus of Clarity to the earthy grounding of Unwind. Each one comes with a QR code leading to a Spotify playlist chosen for its scent, so fragrance, candlelight and music come together in one simple ritual. She writes here about aromatherapy, small rituals and making a little more room to pause.
