Lumière de Noël : How to build a christmas collection from scratch
The Lumière de Noël collection was created to offer a Christmas candle that goes beyond the season. Each piece embodies quiet luxury and feels at home in any interior, all year round. Subtle and timeless, the collection captures the calm beauty of winter nights, when light becomes the purest form of comfort.
The Concept
Our goal was to create a collection that celebrates the holidays with elegance and simplicity. We wanted something sophisticated and lasting, with an aesthetic that complements the modern home. The French name Lumière de Noël was chosen for its sense of artistry, refinement, and timeless beauty.

Scaling the collection
After defining how many candles we wanted to create, their cost, and what we could realistically produce without losing our artisanal essence, we decided on three candles, each with its own fragrance. We selected three Candle Shack scents and gave them new names to reflect the refined character of the collection.
Christmas Spice became Épices d’Hiver
Nordic Cedar became Noël de l’Atelier
Cranberry, Orange & Cinnamon became Maison de Cannelle
Each fragrance was chosen for its depth and warmth, perfectly suited to the atmosphere of winter and the quiet elegance of Lumière de Noël.
Design Direction
Our design focused on quality materials and thoughtful craftsmanship. Inspired by quiet winter nights, we chose deep emerald, matte black, and soft white to create a sense of calm and refined luxury. Gold details, embossed logos, and foiled accents add warmth and character to each candle.
We chose 30cl Lotti glasses in emerald green, black, and white, and our own rigid boxes to create a sense of balance and harmony throughout the collection.
To bring the vision to life, we chose printed sleeves finished with golden foil to place over our rigid boxes and worked with Windmill Printing to produce them with great precision and care. Every detail was considered, from the texture of the paper to the balance between matte surfaces and golden highlights, resulting in a timeless and refined presentation.
The Result
Lumière de Noël is a celebration of understated elegance. Each candle embodies craftsmanship, balance, and beauty, an invitation to slow down, appreciate the quiet moments, and let the light of the season stay with you all year long.
We worked with Windmill Printing, whose skill and attention to detail made a big difference in the final result. Their team was great to collaborate with and handled every part of the process with care and precision.
