Abbey Rose - About us

Abbey Rose  - an eco-friendly story of quality, luxury and style.

Abbey Rose is all about fragrance, luxury, and care, care for you, and care for the environment.

With a lifelong love of fragrance and the impact, fragrance has on our lives, we were concerned about the unknown origins of many of the candles and diffusers currently available on the market, and equally concerned about what goes into skincare products. So we developed a range of superb fragrances crafted right here in New Zealand and brought to life in the form of premium quality luxury soy candles and diffusers. Plus a range of natural and organic moisturisers and wash products.

Candles are handmade from 100% soy wax, an eco-friendly, renewable resource. We pride ourselves on the fact that our candles are handmade in New Zealand, are environmentally friendly and sustainable, contain no hidden unpleasant ingredients and in our opinion, are the best-scented candles available.

Why Choose an Abbey Rose Soy Candle?

A number of scientific studies have concluded that paraffin wax candles can release emissions and may cause some level of indoor pollution as a result of being a petroleum by-product. With frequent use, these candles can potentially irritate the lungs and trigger asthma attacks. Unlike paraffin wax, Abbey Rose Candles burn cleanly leaving no residual soot. Soy wax a vegetable wax made from the oil of soybeans, is completely renewable, eco-friendly and sustainable whereas paraffin and most forms of palm wax are not. The majority of the world's soybeans are grown in the USA, with other producers in South America, China & India. As proof of sustainability, it is important to us, that we choose to source soy out of the USA.

In addition, our candles are non-toxic and do not contain any GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) material or any unnatural additives. If spilled, soy wax is easily cleaned up using hot soapy water. This combined with the fact that our cotton wicks don't contain zinc or lead means that Abbey Rose candles are very environmentally friendly.

Handmade in New Zealand

Each candle and diffuser is individually handmade allowing us to particularly focus on fragrance and quality. The velvet bag in which the medium candle is packaged as well as the signature box for the large candle have been designed so they can be re-used. When you remove the large candle from its box you can reuse the box to store your favourite trinkets or jewellery.

Each body product is made in New Zealand and we use natural New Zealand botanicals to create the finest products giving you cleaner more vibrant and healthy skin. 

From the moment you open our signature packaging, you'll start an Abbey Rose fragrance experience which then comes to life in a flickering flame or through a delicate reed sliver. Fresh and invigorating, soft and romantic, musky and spicy or simply the fragrance of Christmas.
