Our Packaging

 We believe in sustainability, but we also believe in quality and integrity. We call luxury what we consider for ourselves a higher standard, we hope you share in this belief. We don't make deity heads, cutesy baby elephants, polychrome or printed candy jars, and street fair Mason jar candles. We don't use paper labels that may peel off, or the golden crests you may see around that look fancy but they peel off just as much. We also don't use inexpensive, foggy -dirty on the inside, really- glass bottles dressed with tassels and paper labels as diffusers, and we don't use alloys, we use real aluminum where needed, or steel alloy for our engraved escutcheons. 

We pour our Luxury Scented Candles into crystal of exceptional clarity and transparency. We don't use simple glass jars like other "luxury" brands use. All our candles in their various sizes, are poured in on crystal. Our fragrances are formulated with rare materials, why should they be poured into cheap materials? 

We use new, high-reflective index glass for our reusable room spray bottles. High-reflective index glass has oxides that enhance it's strength and transparency, and above all, clarity. "Recycled" glass in the fragrance industry is just a fancier denomination for plain, jar-type entry-level glass, spray painted or decorated with paper labels. The spray paint, by the way, helps hide imperfections, color variation, wobbling and inclusions in the glass. We don't like any of that.

Our Limited Edition Diffusers formulas are poured into sophisticated crystal block decanters, and their Limited Edition Candles counterparts are poured into exceptional sommerso crystal bowls. Sommerso crystal is not painted, it's dyed in the make, a process far more complex and far more luxurious than painting it.

By the way, paint will melt if you wash your candle jars in the dishwasher, and will peel off  if you brush it with a sponge. Glass paint is probably one of the least sustainable material used in the fragrance industry.

You know the corks and screw caps you see in diffuser bottles from other brands? We seriously dislike -hate- them. It's a pet peeve the size of a Great Dane. For our caps, we source semiprecious stones, amber, marble and other rare materials from different parts of the world.. We then get them cut to our specifications for their specific purpose, to decorate our caps, making the caps an object you want to keep instead of wanting to use as a projectile to the trash can.

Our foiled and plated labels contain real gold, so do our gold-plated candle lids, and our lids are designed and developed to make them sufficiently safe to double as coasters. They are electroplated, not painted. For electroplating, gold color plating must contain real gold.

Interested in recycling, like we are? Our crystal and glass vessels and bottles are not only recyclable -all glasses and crystals are, no miracle there- but they can be upcycled for a new use in life, the thought process behind a beautiful vessel is to keep it, and not use it as a projectile -again- towards the trash can.

Our Travel Tins are customized in our signature Prussian blue color, they are made of aluminum as opposed to a tin alloy, which along with their paint gives them additional temperature isolation from your furniture or any surface you place them on. We do suggest you place your candle tin on top of a coaster made of wood, stone, or any fire-retardant material for additional protection. 

Our aluminum Travel Room Spray bottles come with removable spray caps to give the bottle a second life, please refer to the product page for instructions on refilling or upcycling, or contact us at cs@rhr.luxury.

Our customized boxes in our signature Prussian blue color and any additional paper packaging is recyclable -no miracle there, either, but worth clarifying- including any printed material found inside. The papers we use may contain up to 30% recycled cotton, and the inks we use are prepared with up to 30% less water, and vegetable and mineral dyes, not chemicals.

We care about the environment just as much as you do. But our commitment to luxury and quality is just as important. Above all, we believe in integrity, calling things for what they are, without euphemisms or vague or insufficient descriptions, without make-believe. When we started on this journey, we didn't see anyone "moving the needle" as we say in business, in the world of luxury home fragrance.

We decided to do something about it.
