ONNO Collection: AKOSUA

Scented Candle S Sunset

When light begins to tell a story

Some candles simply illuminate a room. Others change the way it feels. The ONNO Collection AKOSUA S Sunset scented candle belongs firmly in the latter category. Even before it is lit, it feels like a sculptural design piece – perhaps almost too beautiful to burn. Almost. Because once the flame comes to life, the combination of fragrance, craftsmanship and glowing light reveals its full character.

The candle is housed in an exceptional mouth-blown glass vessel finished in soft white and warm ochre tones. Its elegant vertical texture captures and diffuses the candlelight, creating a gentle glow that feels both inviting and sophisticated. Measuring 11.5 cm in diameter and 13 cm in height, it offers a striking presence on a coffee table, sideboard or dining setting without ever overpowering its surroundings.

Inside, premium mineral wax is carefully hand-poured by skilled artisans. Every detail matters, from the wax temperature to the precise positioning of the Egyptian cotton wicks. The result is a beautifully even burn with a burn time of up to 70 hours. The Sunset fragrance creates a warm and comforting atmosphere inspired by golden evenings, lingering conversations and moments when time seems to slow down just a little.

One of the most remarkable features is the glass itself. No two vessels are ever identical. The subtle variations are not imperfections but signs of true craftsmanship. Each ONNO candle carries the unique touch of the artisan who shaped molten glass into a timeless decorative object.

For homes that value atmosphere over attention

The AKOSUA collection combines sculptural beauty with a calm and understated presence. During the day, the candle serves as an elegant decorative accent. By evening, it transforms into a source of warmth and ambience, creating a welcoming environment without demanding attention.

Whether placed on a dining table, beside a favourite collection of books or as part of a relaxing evening ritual, the S Sunset candle adapts effortlessly to different interiors and occasions. It embodies a quiet form of luxury that feels natural, comfortable and enduring.

To achieve the best performance, ONNO recommends allowing the wax surface to melt completely during the first burn. This encourages an even burn and helps maximise the candle's longevity. A small ritual that rewards patience – much like many of life's finer pleasures.

A Belgian creation inspired by distant horizons

Founded by designer Ilse Vandeputte, ONNO Collection was inspired by the landscapes, textures and fragrances of Africa. Her vision was to capture memorable emotions and transform them into objects that enrich everyday living.

Each candle is handcrafted in Belgium using carefully selected materials and traditional techniques. The mouth-blown glass, hand-poured wax and thoughtfully developed fragrances reflect ONNO's commitment to authenticity, quality and artistry. These are not simply scented candles but decorative pieces designed to engage the senses and elevate a space.

The experience begins long before the first flame. Presented in an elegant black and gold gift box with refined finishing details, every candle arrives like a carefully chosen gift waiting to be opened.

The kind of evening that stays a little longer

The ONNO Collection AKOSUA S Sunset candle pairs beautifully with other sizes from the AKOSUA collection and selected ONNO diffusers. Together, they create a harmonious balance of fragrance, light and design. The warm white and ochre colour palette works particularly well with natural materials such as wood, linen, stone and ceramics.

Those familiar with ONNO candles know that fragrance is only part of the story. They are about atmosphere, small rituals and creating spaces that feel welcoming and personal. A candle for evenings that were never meant to last this long – and for that reason become memorable.
