Our Story

Essere Home began with a simple idea: to create something fun together.

As a Canadian-owned, women-owned small business, we started Essere Home as a creative project for the both of us—an opportunity to spend time together, try something new, and give my mother-in-law a creative pursuit to enjoy during retirement.

What began as an idea on the couch has grown into something we're incredibly excited to share with others. Based in Ontario, Canada, we hand-pour each of our soy candles locally, thoughtfully selecting fragrances and designing each product with the belief that the little details can make a house feel like home.

The name Essere comes from the Italian word meaning “to be.” For us, Essere Home represents the simple feeling of being at home—to slow down, enjoy the moment, and surround yourself with things that make you feel comfortable and at peace.

Intentional design

Thoughtfully designed with ingredients that are vegan, paraben-free, and phthalate-free.

Crafted with care

Every candle is carefully curated and hand-poured in small batches from our studio in Ontario, Canada.

Scent with purpose

Created to bring warmth, beauty, and atmosphere into the everyday moments that make a house feel like home.
