There’s something quietly comforting about a single flickering flame at the end of a long day. Lighting a candle is such a simple ritual, yet it transforms the atmosphere instantly — softening harsh light, calming restless thoughts, and inviting you to pause for a moment that’s just yours.
At Zsu Atelier, we believe that little everyday luxuries have the power to restore us. Our hand-poured scented candles are crafted from natural cocosoy wax, chosen for its clean, slow burn and ability to carry fragrance beautifully. Each candle is blended and poured by hand by Zsu herself, ensuring that every jar carries not just an exquisite scent, but a touch of human care and intention.
Our fragrance blends are more than just pleasant aromas — they are stories, memories, and gentle companions for quiet moments. Whether you’re unwinding in the bath, reading a favourite book, or sharing dinner with loved ones, the right scent can ground you in the present and create an invisible cocoon of comfort.
Why cocosoy wax? Unlike paraffin, our wax blend is plant-based, renewable, and burns evenly without releasing unwanted toxins into your home. This means you breathe cleaner air while enjoying a longer-lasting fragrance experience. We pair this natural base with carefully selected fragrance oils, chosen for their complexity and ability to evoke emotion.

We see scented candles not just as décor, but as a mindful practice. One small flame reminds us to slow down. One gentle scent reminds us to breathe deeper. And when the world feels too loud, a quiet ritual like this can anchor you back to yourself.
To enjoy your candle to the fullest, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges the first time you light it — this prevents tunneling and helps your candle last longer. Keep the wick trimmed to about 5mm for a steady, soot-free flame. And never leave it burning unattended: this moment of warmth deserves your attention.
Our wish is that each Zsu Atelier candle becomes a tiny, personal sanctuary — a simple way to weave calm, beauty, and intention into your everyday life.
Light a flame, inhale slowly, and let your mind drift. You deserve this moment.

A bőrápolás luxus narratívája: AUTEUR
“Tetszett nagyon, hogy egy exkluzív történet részévé váltam, amikor Szentendre festőien békés környezetében található Zsu Atelier Skin Spa és Skin Boutique-ban először kipróbálhattam őket. Magyarországon tudniillik csak itt lehet találkozni velük, egész Európában is mindössze 4 szalonban használják, árusítják őket.”
