We have founded WAKS in 2005

We’ve been a family-owned business, dedicated to bringing a touch of warmth and elegance to living spaces. Based in the heart of Athens, we draw inspiration from the rich traditions of Greek craftsmanship. Our passion lies in creating premium, eco-friendly products that not only enhance any home but also reflect our commitment to sustainability. Each of our candles and reed diffusers is lovingly handcrafted using natural ingredients, ensuring that every product is a beautiful blend of art and nature.

Our Materials & Products

At WAKS, we are committed to using eco-friendly and cruelty-free raw materials in everything we create. Our candles are crafted with a premium blend of soy and beeswax, paired with 100% cotton wicks for a clean and even burn. We also infuse our candles with a high concentration of premium fragrances, ensuring a rich and lasting sensory experience with every use.

Our pots, vessels, and bottles are designed to be easily repurposed and reused around your home and garden. To make this even more meaningful, we offer a refill service for our candles and diffusers.

Even our packaging is thoughtfully designed to align with our values—it’s fully recyclable, reflecting our commitment to sustainability in every detail. At WAKS, we aim to inspire creativity while minimizing our environmental impact.
