History & Inspiration

The legend of the Seven Sages begins in 6th century BC, where a collection of thinkers and philosophers imparted wisdom and guidance and healing upon mankind.

These mythical sages, gods and demi-gods were often withdrawn and lived in harmony with nature on mountaintops, rivers, caves and forests. Drawing inspiration from Mother Earth's fragrance, the sages relied on nature’s botanicals to survive, meditate, and perform rituals. 

These scholars inspired Seven Sages Candle Co., a curation of scents designed to pay homage to the essence of enlightenment to evoke joy, deep contemplation and improved wellbeing. Each element in our perfumes have been sourced from Europe and Asia, then hand-poured in Australia, with every vessel made for longevity and repurposing.

Drawing on ancient knowledge, Seven Sages Candle Co. reinvents what it means to curate the spaces we inhabit. Enveloping the senses and enhancing how we live through shared stories, and scent to transcend time and culture.

Today we strive to use the wisdom taught by the Seven Sages to develop a genuine, powerful, consuming sensory experience that exudes luxury and authenticity. 

Through Seven Sages Candle Co. collections, we pay respect to the spirit of the sages, capturing the essence of illumination for personal enjoyment coupled with deep contemplation—thus achieving an optimal state of homeostasis through overall improved health and well-being.

Our Vision & Mission

Our vision is to help create a sensory experience unlike any other — to uplift and elevate the spaces we inhabit. We aim to empower individuals to reach a higher state of mental and physical well-being; to help them achieve their greatest potential and to always feel amazing from within.

Our passion lies in connecting the power of scent, which is rooted in ancient wisdom, to the depths of our inner self, and our soul, harnessing the positive memories captured in our minds connected to scent forever.

Who We Are

Scents inspire more than memory. They offer escape — a mental sanctum that can be accessed at any moment.

Our co-founder Toula, spent her childhood in a Greek household, where a love of nature, cooking and connection was integral to family life. Long warm days spent cooling amongst the lush undergrowth of her grandmother’s garden provided the foundation for her passion for herbs and flowers. 

Decades on, this passion has been passed on through her own home, and to her daughter Marissa, with the creation of Seven Sages Candle Co., building on this generational obsession with fragrance.

To bring their vision to life, they partnered with world-class perfumers and fragrance specialists, who sourced all-natural ingredients and the finest biodegradable pesticide-free soy. 

The journey culminated in a powerful collaboration of female talent across design, development and production through a shared love of scent and the home.

  • “Candles provide a sense of comfort and invigoration for weary spirits, and I have often watched people exhale as they enter our home once their senses have been soothed by the uplifting scent permeating the space. The idea that we can create such positive experiences in other people’s homes is what drove my passion to build Seven Sages.”
  • “Candles foster an environment of free-flowing ideas and creativity. Scents permeate space and have the power to transport people to a more positive, relaxed state. This collection of scents is specifically designed to inspire self-expression and heighten well-being and I look forward to seeing how people incorporate the wisdom of the sages into their own lives.”
