BeCandle was founded 15 years ago by designer Xavier Tsang. Starting as a one-man studio, it has grown into a small team in Sai Kung, continuously exploring and experimenting by participating in markets and exhibitions around the world, collaborating with various local and international brands. Today, it has become a fragrance brand with its own retail shops and local factory . Driven by a passion for scent craftsmanship and a spirit of exploration, BeCandle maintains a multifaceted approach to sustainable development. This includes using sustainable natural materials, long-standing candle refill service, and recycling waste materials such as construction site soil, industrial coffee grounds, floral waste, and even retired tram parts to create scented products. In recent years, it has partnered with volunteer organizations to establish  production lines that provides job opportunities for low-income individuals and youth in need of special care.
