About Helessence

Helessence is a candle making studio based in Thessaloniki. Since 2017 we are creating scented soy candles with emphasis on aromatic quality and perfect burn efficiency. Our goal is to create small pieces of scented art which can reflect in shape and scent the timeless and enduing spirit of Greece. The founder of Helessence, Theodoros Vasilias, started his journey in the wonderful world of perfumes in 2012 when he visited for the first time a labdanum distillery in Crete. The unique and enchanting aroma of the Cretan rock rose, which did not smell like anything he had ever smelled before, ushered him to find a way to capture and spread the unique scents of the Greek land around the world. The search for authentic locally produced essential oils was difficult. Their production was small and unstable. But with patience and dedication to the vision of Helessence, the first formulas were developed. Formulas that could capture the incomparable beauty of these unique aromas to the fulest. This is how the Essence series was created. Our flagship collection of scented candles that includes the suffix of our company's name and encloses the quintessence of Greece. Pure, raw, organic scents, memories, experiences and a philosophy of life that is void from anything unnecessary. The candle collections that followed were created for those who love more perfume-like fragrances. Faithful to the spirit of Helessence, the final imprint is always authentically Mediterranean, Read their story
