Who we are
Born in our Madrid studio in 2021, we started creating contemporary and exquisite fragrances that last.
Each of our scents can be linked to a specific destination: a flower shop in the middle of the big city life, a cabin in the woods... We try to convey not only the scent these locations have, but also the specific feelings they evoke. I know you're super busy but we can all dream we're somewhere else instead of at work, right?
A few years later, we introduced silk accessories as a natural extension for those who love to feel and look good at home (or when traveling, yeah I'm looking at you, busy bee).

Meet the founder
Hi, I'm Lorena. Herriet's mom.
I started Herriet because I was a candle addict and like all additions, it was getting way out of hand and frankly it was costing me too much. Plus, normal candles were giving me a migraine!
I had this crazy idea of creating clean-burning, classic but eye-catching candles that would light the way (pun intended) to a new standard for the industry we operate in, plus I also wanted to make them safe for pets (that's my boy, Charlie, on the right!). Two years later and almost migraine-free, I light candles as part of my daily ritual.
As a homebody myself, it was only natural that I also created the most luxurious PJs you. Have. Ever. Seen. As well as a silk accessories line. Cuz, you know, why stop at pajamas when you can have the whole range?
Slowly, but surely, I’m incorporating new products we can all use to feel our best at home.

Why we do what we do
Conscious of the effects harmful scents have on our health (remember my migraines?), I created Herriet because I believe the candle industry needs to move to a cleaner and better way of doing things (come on, it's about time!)
With a desire to leave the corporate world behind and to work creatively with my own two hands, I took candle making as a hobby that quickly took off as a business. Full days were devoted to researching waxes, wicks and fragrance ratios. (This only took me two years, no big deal...) But I can proudly say they are handmade in Spain.
And same with using silk in our accessories. Why be ok with non-certified cotton when we can get our hands on luscious silk giving us amazing skin and hair? (yeah, thought so too).

Made with good vibes only
Good vibes, great scents and grand products. You’ve got 99 problems, but Herriet won’t be one!
- Visualized in Madrid
- Candles hand-poured in our Madrid Studio with some iconic scents (If I do say so myself!)
- 100% cotton wick - ensuring an even burn
- Plus, we only use soy wax - so no cruelty and bad vibes are involved
- Silk accessories also designed in Madrid but they come to life in the North of Spain
- Do I need to say anything else about the silk benefits?
- Cool but (very) simple packaging that can only get cooler
- Reusable packaging on all our products
- I own all of it, for now, so you'll be helping this girl reach her dreams

Next steps
So what happens next? I am overflowing with creativity and enthusiasm to unveil the array of new fragrances and new products that we have been developing behind the scenes (and not so BTS if you follow us on the gram).
I want to thank you for joining me on this adventure. Your love and support mean the world to me and I would love to share everything new with you soon.
Seen in
