About

The Essence of Lata

Lata is an independent candle studio built around fragrance, form and the spaces we inhabit.

Founded with a fascination for how scent can influence the feeling of a place, Lata creates fragrances with a strong sense of character, compositions that can become associated with a room, a season, a person or a particular moment in time.

Each collection is developed slowly, from the fragrance itself through to the object that holds it. The intention is not to create candles for a particular occasion or aesthetic, but pieces that naturally find their place in everyday life.

A Study in Scent

Lata approaches fragrance as a form of composition.

Individual notes are selected, layered and refined to create scents with depth and personality, sometimes familiar, sometimes unexpected. The result is a collection designed to be experienced rather than simply described.

Scent is the starting point. The object is part of the experience.

Lata Studio

Lata operates between Sydney and Berlin, working in small collections, and limited releases. 

The studio is intentionally small, allowing space for experimentation, refinement and collaboration. New fragrances, vessels and objects are developed continuously, with each collection exploring the relationship between scent, form and the spaces we inhabit.

Sustainability as Standard

Luxury is mindful. Each Lata candle is crafted with eco-conscious materials, reusable vessels and considered production methods. Thoughtful indulgence should never come at the expense of the planet, and sustainability is considered throughout the making of each piece.

With every candle, Lata aims to bring comfort, atmosphere and presence into the spaces we call home.
