Author’s Scented Candles, Soaps and Bath Salts
We handcraft premium‑quality scented candles. Every piece is made with love, patience and joy. Each candle is decorated using various techniques, always with an eye for an original look and the story you take home.
We specialise in handmade paraffin scented candles and increasingly work with natural waxes and fragrances. We use fragrance compositions developed from base aroma profiles in research laboratories. All ingredients are selected with care and we use only certified materials, so your candle is not only beautiful but also safe and high‑quality.
We consciously do not use palm wax – its production often burdens nature and doesn’t align with our values. Our goal is to make candles that bring joy while keeping the planet in mind.
Our work is more than production. It is part of our life and family story. Every candle reflects our relationship with nature, craft and the people who take it home.

Team SVITSOL – Gallery & Workshop
Our story – the family brand SVITSOL
The story of SVITSOL is one of family, love for craftsmanship and perseverance. We started in 2001 with our first author’s candles. It wasn’t easy – hard work, giving up holidays and countless hours in the workshop were part of our journey. We took our first real holiday only after more than fifteen years.
We are a family business from the Karlovy Vary region. Today the founder, her husband and daughter all contribute to the company. When needed, reliable partners step in – bringing knowledge, diligence and skills. From simple materials we create exceptional candles, soaps and gifts that make our customers happy.
Times of trial
Along the way we faced tough periods. Global economic crises and the Covid lockdown, which closed our workshop for almost a year, tested our resilience. Our heads may have bowed at times, but we never lost faith or our smile. We believe that combining knowledge, honest work and a positive attitude is the foundation of success.
More than a business
Making our products is more than just business. It’s a life path, part of our everyday. In every candle made in our workshop there’s a piece of your stories. Every candle our hands touch carries the imprint of energy and joy that is passed on.
“You take home more than just candles – you take a piece of our life’s journey.”
