2. Technical suitability
- Lightfastness
- Burning behavior
- Cold and hot throw
- Intrinsic color of the fragrance
- Compatibility with colorants
3. Safety aspects
- CLP labeling requirements

COLOR & FRAGRANCE INSPIRATIONS
"KLEUR DRUKT UIT ZICHZELF IETS UIT... WAT MOOI
DOET – WERKELIJK MOOI – IS OOK JUIST."
VINCENT VAN GOGH (1853 - 1890), LETTER TO THEO, OCTOBER 28, 1885 *
"COLOR EXPRESSES SOMETHING BY ITSELF. WHAT IS
BEAUTIFUL – TRULY BEAUTIFUL – IS ALSO RIGHT.
We are endlessly enchanted by the miracles of beauty, whether natural or man-made. Most profound among them is art: it is the language of the soul. Deeply connected to our freedom of expression, and our freedom to perceive. Artwork can transform intimate experiences into images of collective perception - with the help of color & form.
"It begins with a color, a form..." said Lee Krasner, herself a painter and wife of Jackson Pollock. "Color expresses something by itself..." wrote Vincent van Gogh to his brother Theo. We all know that color touches our emotions directly.
With this new edition of INSPIRATIONS you'll be led through four elemental stories playing a role in the creative process: raw energy, dream states, silent intensity and inner landscapes. You'll find an exclusive range of thrilling candle colors married with contemporary and brand new candle fragrances.

RAW ENERGY
Raw energy is required to apply the first strokes of an abstract painting.
Out of mind states of being are a great source of inspiration to create the new.
Lee Krasner's expressive energy inspired us for this instantly engaging combination of pastel lemon yellow, soft lavender, gentle rosé and minty turquoise. Ideal for seasonal collections, trend based launches and dopamine infused color strategies to trigger happiness and feel-good mood. Raw Energy speaks in bright tones – joyful and confident. Playful aesthetics meet soft expression with ease and fresh lightness.

DREAM STATES
Paul Gauguin's sensual figures, characters and landscapes represent a mirror for our growing desire to withdraw – as an escape or for emotional rebalancing.
Through states of dreaming our mind is constantly creative and makes imagination an abundant source of inspiration.
Dream States offers a vision of soft luxury, emotional warmth and quiet intimacy. Indulgent apricot, peaceful pink, spiritual deep violet and detached stone grey create a palette with warmth and natural ease that resonates well with theincreasing interest in multisensory home rituals.

SILENT INTENSITY
Immersing ourselves in Vincent van Gogh's paintings we can often feel an intensity of silence that transcends words. The beauty and intensity of profound silence is rooted in awareness and love for the universe. Silence brings truth and contentment, it is not a void but a source of overflowing joy. Silent Intensity is built on ancient wisdom and practices to gain clarity, purpose and meaning.
Enlightening yellow, energetic pea green, still luminous blue and passionate red are everybody's darling, timeless and ever-present.

INNER LANDSCAPES
Inner landscapes may arise during the painting process when we surrender to the material and let color act. Unplanned strokes and pigment reactions can bring half-conscious images to the surface. Ambiguity becomes a space the viewer can inhabit. The palette with soft beige, warm grey, moss and earthy red responds to the need for grounding and natural connection. Ideal for botanical and meaningful product lines, these shades don't shift with the season.

Essential oils for candles or fragrance lamps
The beneficial and healing effect of essential oils on body, mind and spirit have been known for ages. These oils are increasingly being used in fragrance lamps to fill rooms with natural fragrances. However, there is still much catching up to do in the field of candle scenting. Essential oils are extracted using very precise methods and naturally start to evaporate at low temperatures. This characteristic makes them useful for scenting rooms with liquid oils.
This is a useful characteristic for scenting rooms with liquid oils. The production of candles requires that both the temperature of the liquid wax and hot throw be considered. Bekro Candle Essence has been tested for these conditions and now makes it possible for you to scent your candles 100% naturally. The natural oils are divided into the following groups: 100% pure, (partially) certified organic, natural, nature-identical. Each of these groups is suitable for the production of candles. The manufacturer can choose any group - what determines the choice made is the respective marketing concept.
Nature-identical oils consist of natural oils with synthetic components added for price reasons. The synthetic substances are equivalent to chemically isolated natural substances. This way the cost of adding fragrance to naturally scented candles is optimized. The number of available aroma compounds a perfumer can use to create essential oil blends is around 300 substances, which is significantly lower than what is available for synthetic fragrances. We create custom blends for orders of 50kg or more per essential oil mixture.
