Maison de Lumière studio
St Helens luxury candle shop for handmade scented soy candles.
Maison de Lumière is an online candle shop and luxury candle studio on Ormskirk Street in St Helens. Every scented candle is hand-poured in small batches with natural soy wax and candle-safe fragrance. No production line. No middlemen.
Founded by candle maker Mihaela Luca, the studio makes scented candles, wedding favours, bespoke bouquets, and pet keepsakes — all handmade in St Helens, Merseyside.
The studio
52 Ormskirk Street, St Helens.
The Maison de Lumière studio is at 52 Ormskirk Street, St Helens, WA10 2TF. This is where every candle is made: the making table, the moulds, the wax, the fragrance, the labels, and the packing all in one space.
If you are searching for scented candles in St Helens, the full Maison collection can be ordered online, collected locally by arrangement, or shaped into a bespoke gift brief.
Founder Mihaela Luca pours each batch herself. Colour is mixed to reference, not approximate. Scent is weighed, not estimated. Every piece is checked for surface quality and proportion before it leaves.
Local customers can collect in person from the studio. It is also the fastest way to discuss a bespoke order — you see where the candle is made before you commit.
What we make
Candles for every occasion made in St Helens.
Bespoke candle bouquets
Made-to-order arrangements for birthdays, anniversaries, and significant occasions. Colour and scent matched to your brief.
Wedding and event favours
Soy-wax favour candles for weddings, baby showers, and christenings. From £3 per favour, made to your palette and date.
Sculptural pillar candles
Swirl, sphere, bubble, and tornado forms in natural soy wax. Pieces that sit as well on a shelf as they burn.
Pet keepsake candles
Soy-wax keepsakes shaped and coloured to resemble a pet. Commissioned from photographs, made by hand.
The material
Natural soy wax, every time.
All Maison de Lumière candles are made with natural soy wax, cotton wicks, and candle-safe fragrance oils. No paraffin, no mineral wax.
Soy wax burns cleaner and holds scent well when the wick is sized and centred correctly — which is why each candle is checked before it is packed. It also produces a refined surface that suits small-batch, detail-led work.
See the candle care guide for burn instructions, or the FAQ for common questions about materials, delivery, and bespoke orders.
