Every single ester & erik candle is a small piece of genuine craftsmanship. A natural product that is beautiful to look at, made with care and produced from the purest wax available – nothing more, nothing less.

Hand-dipped, elegant quality candles made from the purest raw materials
All ester & erik candles are produced at our factory in Silkeborg, Denmark. Here, the entire production line is organised around the fact that two factors are key to producing well-performing candles: the quality of the raw materials and the final appearance of the candles.

All candles are natural products made from wax, wick and dye of the highest quality – the same raw materials ester & erki have been using since the company was established in 1987. The candles are made from 100% paraffin wax of the purest quality available, which can be heated and used without the need to add any artificial ingredients. The wick is made of 100% pure cotton, while both the dyes and lacquers are water-based and therefore contain neither acetone nor aniline.

Theses candles are always being tested to ensure they burn in the best possible way – for the benefit of users and environment alike.

Iconic taper candles available in 14 different colors this season.

The classic taper candle was the very first candle to be dipped in ester & erik our production, and even though this was more than 30 years ago, it continues to be our best-selling candle by far. The candle’s fine, pointed top has always made it unique – a distinctive feature from which it derives the elegant, slender look that distinguishes it as an ester & erik candle.

The taper candle is available in four different heights, allowing these classic candles to be mixed and matched in different sizes or used individually to suit all tastes.

Material: The candle is made of 100% pure fragrance-free paraffin wax from Europe’s leading producer. The candle is produced at our factory in Denmark, and the wick is made of 100% cotton.

Foot: The foot of the candle is conical in shape, which means that the candle fits most candle holders.

Self-extinguishing: The candle is self-extinguishing, so the flame dies out 2-3 centimetres from the bottom (however, we recommend to never leave lit candles unattended).

Extinguishing guide: We recommend using a candle extinguisher to extinguish the candle. This avoids smoke, and ensures that the candle is completely extinguished, thus preventing the wick from smouldering. A candle extinguisher will completely extinguish the burning wick, so the wick remains intact.
For candles with a lacquer, gold or silver coating, it is important – after putting out the candle with an extinguisher – to remove the outermost layer of lacquer from the depression around the wick so that the candle can be relit without any difficulty.

Candle-burning tips: To ensure that the candle burns in the best possible way, we recommend keeping the wick short, placing candles min. 10 cm apart, and avoiding placing candles in draughts or above a radiator.
