“In Light of Challenge”

“In Light of Challenge”

Imagine landing in a country you’ve never set foot in, armed with little more than a vision and a dream to bring something new into the world. That’s precisely how the journey of Sneferu began. Just two months after arriving in Portugal, amidst the unfamiliar sights and sounds of a new culture, renovations were already underway on what would soon become not just our candle atelier but a beacon of artistry and tradition. This is the story of how a leap of faith turned into Sneferu, a brand that blends ancient inspirations with modern elegance, crafting candles that are not merely products, but stories of resilience and beauty.

I could not have imagined how the next year would unfold, the challenges it would bring, and how learning to let go would pave the way for new adventures. At times, it seemed like everything that could go wrong, did—from ceramic pieces exploding in the kilns to glazes malfunctioning. Meanwhile, personal trials, including a severe illness and a break up with my partner of nearly a decade, tested my resolve like never before.

Yet, much of my ability to persevere came from the incredible support I received. From my family back home to the amazing new friends and colleagues I met here,
I learned that everything comes down to the people around you.
And now this support is strengthened by you, our dear clients who take a leap of faith with us, you are the reason we do what we do. 

The path to greatness is paved through struggle, and our path at Sneferu has been no different. With a clear vision of the values that birthed Sneferu, we embarked on a journey to create the world’s finest luxury candle experience.

The essence of what we deliver lies in our identity: We are a small team of artists in our Porto atelier, crafting each product personally and delicately from start to finish with the highest standards and finest ingredients available.

We have much more to share with you, from our unique manufacturing processes to exciting new product developments. Stay tuned for future editions of the Dynasty newsletter, where we will reveal:

How we design bespoke fragrances inspired by abstract concepts like truth and balance, featuring master perfumer Ilias Kakis.

The art of crafting stoneware and porcelain items.

How we optimize our candles for outstanding performance, using the world’s best wax blends and rare ingredients like organic African beeswax.

Stay connected with us as we continue to share the unfolding story of Sneferu.
