Hi, I’m Sophie, the one woman show behind Flicker Crypt. I've always had a passion for creating, whether it's painting and drawing with traditional mediums or through digital artwork. There's something so fulfilling about bringing an idea to life through art. But I also have a deep love for candles, going back to childhood, and I wanted to combine these two passions in a unique way. That's how Flicker Crypt was born.

I spent countless hours experimenting with different fragrances and candle designs, trying to find the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality. I drew inspiration from my favorite art forms and incorporated them into the candle labelling and themes. I wanted Flicker Crypt to be more than just a typical scented candle; I wanted it to be a piece of art. As someone with a background in mental health support, I know firsthand the importance of creating a calming environment, managing your wellbeing and the significance of being your true self. I wanted Flicker Crypt to not only capture this but to stand out and cater to the alternatives, with a strong ethos of embracing individuality.

Flicker Crypt values uniqueness and individuality , reflectected in our gothic aesthetic and dark maximalist design. We want to stand out from the crowd and from the very beginning, it was important for us to not get lost in the vast amount of similar businesses. Our commitment to the environment though is just as important. We strive to keep our carbon footprint to a minimum by using plastic free shipping and packing materials. We have also teamed up with Tree Nation where at least 1 tree is planted with every order. These trees are planted in 1 of 2 planting projects: The Eden Project in Madagascar or The Usambara Biodiversity Conservation project in Tanzania. These trees are specially selected to benefit the local community and bio diversity.
On top of that, Flicket Crypt takes pride in sourcing quality ingredients from reputable UK suppliers to ensure the best possible products. All of our ingredients are vegan and cruelty free, and all of our fragrances are paraben and phthalate free.
