Nosy

Scents of Wanderlust

What’s your signature scent?

Every brand has a story. A feeling. An atmosphere that is unmistakably its own.

At Nosy, we translate that identity into a co-branded candle, designed around the character of the brand and made to linger long after the visit is over.

How we collaborate

Three steps to a candle of your own

01

The scent

We get to know the brand: its character, its values, the places and people behind it. From there we compose a fragrance profile and choose the scent together with you, until it becomes recognisably yours.

02

The design

We bring your brand into the Nosy universe. Every candle comes in a frosted amber glass jar, with a custom-designed label, a printed gift box and a lid that protects the wax.

03

Delivery & visibility

We deliver the candles straight to your door. If you like, we’ll also share them through Nosy’s own channels and our partners’ networks. Or keep them exclusively yours.

Louis d’Anvers

Marzipan

Since Louis opened his doors on Isabellalei in 1923, Antwerp has smelled of almonds and sugar. The marzipan recipe remains unchanged; the scent will always linger.

Antwerpse Handjes

Almond Butter Cookie

You didn’t experience the city without tasting our Antwerpse Handjes. Since 1934, a symbol of appreciation for visitors. A flavoured gesture with a delightful aroma.

Concrete Case Study

NOSY × KMSKA

Our candles are available at selected boutiques and museum shops that share our love for Antwerp’s unique spirit and craftsmanship.

The museum wanted to translate the majestic, sensory aura of 17th-century old masters into a tangibly modern souvenir. Together, we crafted an evocative olfactory signature combining aged linen canvas texture, rich dry amber, mineral pigments, and dry linseed oil.

The bespoke candles were screenprinted with the KMSKA insignia and distributed exclusively in the iconic museum store and presented to key patrons, proving to be an exceptionally successful extension of the museum’s visual identity.
