A Collaboration of Love
TENJANUARY+ was born from a heartfelt bond between mother and daughter and a shared love for candles and natural scents.
Our candles are a tribute to a beloved family member and are meant to bring moments of connection and gratitude.
Our logo is a symbol of positivity and reflects our Swiss heritage. It is meant to carry a message of hope and a reminder of those who came before us.

How We Work
Our Craftsmanship. We developed and tested candles and refills over a period of 4 years before we launched in 2025.
Making More Than a Candle. Refill and Reuse is our approach to using less. Our refills are made with the same ingredients and care as our candles, and each scent comes with its own curated Spotify playlist, accessible via QR code included with every candle and refill.
Our Products and Services. Our brand collection consists of three scents, Dawn, Noon and Dusk. We also partner with select clients on co-branding, signature scent development and private labelling, one point of contact, from design to packaging.
Quality and Compliance. Our candles and refills are made from certified pure soy wax and certified pure essential oils, contain no harmful additives or phthalates, and are manufactured in line with industry standards. We produce in limited monthly quantities, overseen by the Founder.
Relationships and Contribution. We build kind and meaningful relationships with suppliers and clients, and donate a percentage of proceeds to local charities addressing mental health in underserved communities in Cape Town.
