Max Benjamin

Max Benjamin is a family-run candle atelier nestled in the Wicklow Mountains, surrounded by fragrant wild hedgerows and breathtaking landscapes. Today, the brand is one of Ireland’s leading producers of handcrafted home fragrances, with a growing international presence.

Each candle is made using 100% natural wax, and the scent compositions draw inspiration from both faraway travels and the nature just outside the studio door – designed to bring balance, calm, and a sense of ease into everyday life.

Brand Philosophy

Max Benjamin’s founding philosophy – to enrich everyday life through the power of fragrance that stirs the senses – remains at the heart of everything the brand creates.

Now recognised internationally, Max Benjamin is one of Ireland’s leading producers of handcrafted home fragrances. Each scent is thoughtfully composed using 100% natural wax and inspired by both global travels and the natural beauty surrounding the brand’s studio in the Wicklow Mountains.

The aim is simple: to craft fragrances that bring calm, clarity, and a moment of balance to everyday living.

Sustainability

The natural world is both a treasured part of Max Benjamin’s heritage and a constant source of inspiration. Healthy ecosystems are essential to life on our planet, which is why caring for the environment is not just a responsibility – it’s a fundamental part of the brand’s purpose, shared by its creators and customers alike.

While the journey toward full sustainability is ongoing, making conscious, responsible choices remains a clear priority for Max Benjamin.

Eco-Conscious Solutions

Max Benjamin’s natural hand soaps and essential oils are 100% vegan, natural, and cruelty-free – just like every product the brand creates.

The glass vessels used for candles, diffusers, essential oils, and hand soaps are designed to last and are fully recyclable. Most collections also feature a refill system, encouraging customers to reuse packaging and choose more sustainable, planet-friendly alternatives.
