Our story

Born at the foot of the Chilterns

We started Leonessa during lockdown, when we realised the amount of toxins we were inhaling from other well-known brands.

We are based at the foot of the Chiltern Hills in the Home Counties of England, and our products replicate that natural, wholesome environment.

Each one is made with organic, paraben-free wax and essential oils — no toxins, no shortcuts — and the same oils are used in our spritz and diffusers.

What people say

Corporate

The best products don’t need to shout. They’re recognised quietly, and remembered — that’s exactly how Leonessa feels.

We’ve been sending their candles to our clients over the past two years and the feedback has consistently been exceptional. They’re refined, beautifully balanced, and have a way of elevating a space without ever trying too hard.

Beyond the scent itself, there’s a level of care in how everything is made — considered ingredients that only add to the appeal. We’ve also spent time with their body range, from lotions to soaps, and it carries the same understated luxury throughout.

A brand we trust, and one that has quietly become a Privé signature.
