CUSTOMER REVIEWS
Let customers speak for us
from 4 reviewsÉ a segunda vela que compre na Sneferu. Adorei Balance e esta vela"amber" é talvez a minha preferida de sempre. A experiência de compra, o aroma, a beleza dos materiais... Estou extremamente orgulhosa de ver luxo português com esta qualidade. Ansiosa para conhecer mais.
Creamy, sweet but not overwhelming! It's like being in a sicilian bakery having a filled pistachio brioche!
Not only is the receptacle absolutely wonderful, but this candle is absolutely fantastic! Hot and cold throws are amazing and it burns well. This was my first purchase, and I loved the personalized note that came with my candles. Really lovely touch.
Wonderful, classic, and classy. Feels like a trip back to a luxury spa of the ancients. Gentle lime, lavender and lotus scents, but also very much its own thing due to a unique amalgam of scents. Strong without being overwhelming, my fave of the two, although ‘Balance’ is wonderful too.
As the title says, this scent is a perfectly sweet gourmand. All of the notes can be picked out, and yet all blend together to form a creamy, incredible take on pistachio. Very nice strength of scent without even approaching being too strong, and it throws quite well too, even in my living room with a cathedral ceiling. It also burns super clean, and as long as you give it the proper amount of time to pool out, won't tunnel, though it does indeed take time due to the diameter and not perfectly round shape of the vessel. This is by no means a complaint though, as I've had far smaller candles take far longer to pool. The vessel itself is a true work of art - nicely glazed in parts and left rugged and unfinished in others.
Additionally, the customer service is top notch at Sneferu. I was having problems submitting payment via PayPal and had given up after 3 attempts, but no more than 10 minutes later, I received an email saying that it was noticed, the problem was fixed, and that I was being offered a10% coupon for the inconvenience (it totally wasn't). This coupon was in addition to the 30% off sale they were already running. They also included a mini sample of Amber, which is a nice cologne-esque scent as well.
All in all, top notch experience, and highly recommend this one! Thank you again Sneferu.

TESTIMONIALS & FEEDBACK
"Been testing out these magical candles (...) inspired by Ancient Egypt and crafted with the most beautiful ingredients "– Kristina Bazan (artist, entrepreneur and fashion influencer)
"It’s like having mojito on the beach of a costal town, while exotic resins burn in the background. On a table, 2 feet away is an herbal and floral arrangement. The scent profile is incomparable. The packaging and craftsmanship of the vessel is luxury. If we’re judging by performance, scent and look, then this is definitely top tier."– @lets_talk_candles on Instagram
"Each piece is a work of art, connecting the best of both worlds: perfumed candles and luxury ceramics, while celebrating the portuguese know-how (...)"– Máxima TV show
"Very like zen scent but intense, I can definitely see how fresh and strong it smells while still not lit up, and once it started burning it kind of gets more rich and floral but always this freshness. I love it and I will do my best to not end it too fast! I love the shape of it, and the packaging is so amazing"– Reddit review, verified purchase ✅️
"Truth from Sneferu setting the cabins' vibe today" (Truth) , "Literally the best smell you'll ever experience." (Pistachio Oasis)– Instagram reviews
"Perfume is just something else, cold throw is amazing, the wrapping paper already smelled like flowers. (...) I can feel the lime, flowers especially peonies and jasmin, but also the amber and woody can be felt under all the creamy scent. It’s just complex fragrance and what I expect in a candle (...)"– Reddit review, verified purchase ✅️
Why support Sneferu?
Sneferu candles are produced in small batches by a skillful team of local artists at our Porto atelier. Crafted with utmost care for detail and performance, our items are a testament of our commitment to the core values which propel us forward. You can get to know our team here.
We collaborate with top tier master perfumers to create unique, exclusive and high performing scents. Each formula begins with an abstract idea that is than carefully developed into variation we test extensively before introducing a new scent. On average it takes 3-4 months to design and produce a batch of fragrance and involves high costs that would deter most small-medium operations, but not us. Read more about the process and the perfumers we work with here.
Our atelier is a One-Stop-Shop of luxury creation. We operate a fully equipped, professional ceramic studio with two large size electric kilns in which we bisque and glaze fine stoneware and porcelain up to 1300 degree Celsius. Our talented ceramic artists handcraft each piece individually to ensure top quality is preserved at all cost. We make our own glazes (ceramic pigments), build our own molds and maintain a spirit of original design throughout everything we make. Read more here.
We ship internationally with DHL Express including tracking number.
Free shipping is offered with a minimum purchase of 150€ (163$) excluding Australia & New Zealand which enjoy a 50% discount of shipping cost. Full policy here.
