Friluftsliv {ˈfri-lufts-liv} – a word that describes the Scandinavian soul: living in harmony with nature.
Friluftsliv is more than just a term – it's a lived philosophy of life, deeply rooted in the Nordic countries. It means consciously being in nature, mindfully experiencing peace, the seasons, light, and the elements, without leaving a trace. With the Friluftsliv scented candle, you bring precisely this clear, airy, nature-connected atmosphere into your home – a fragrance that transforms interiors and makes the feeling of freedom tangible.

What makes Friluftsliv special – nature, simplicity & grounded tranquility
In Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, outdoor living (friluftsliv) is an important part of everyday life. It's not about athletic performance or adventure, but about moments of breathing, observing, and simply being. A walk through the forest, the scent of damp leaves, the rustling of grass, or the light of the low sun: all these impressions are reflected in the fragrance of this candle.
Outdoor life invites us to slow down, rediscover our connection to nature, and integrate small rituals of mindfulness into our daily lives. This very feeling forms the basis of this scented candle – gentle, woody, grounding, and yet clear.
The fragrance composition – a forest walk to breathe in
The Friluftsliv Premium Candle combines natural fragrance notes to create an atmosphere reminiscent of forest floors, damp meadows, clear mountain air, and the rustling of leaves. It strikes a balance between freshness and depth, between vibrant nature and a cozy retreat.
Smells like…
-
Top note: Fresh mint – cool, clear, energetic
-
Heart note: Gentle chamomile – calming, balancing, warm
-
Base note: Hay & mossy oak wood – natural, earthy, woody
The fragrance intensity is harmoniously balanced . The candle is intense enough to fill the room, yet deliberately subtle, allowing its freshness to unfold without being overpowering. Perfect for nature lovers who prefer authentic, non-artificial scents.
Two options – choose your Scandinavian style
The Friluftsliv candle is available in two high-quality versions that differ visually and atmospherically:
-
Regular Version: Clear glass look with cotton wick – minimalist, modern, timelessly Nordic.

Both versions are vegan, hand-poured , sustainably packaged, and perfectly suited to modern, nature-inspired living spaces.
