Olivia Burns

Olivia has always been a self-confessed candle lover, but in January 2019 her fascination with the link between scent and how it helped her to recall her own memories grew. She started experimenting with wax and fragrance oils as she strove to create the ultimate range of scented candles inspired by her own scent memories.

But Olivia wasn’t satisfied with just having a great range of products. She was determined to make them look just as amazing as they smell and so she spent almost a year working alongside an illustrator to create fun and vibrant packaging which told a story.

Olivia took a leap of faith and launched Olivia’s Haven just as the Covid-19 pandemic took hold and the world locked down. She worked through the pandemic from her home studio to build the business one candle at a time!
