RIGA ORIGINAL® × THE MUNIO

Fragrant
hand-poured
candles

Infused with the Fragrance of the Baltics

Picture this. You take a deep breath. Allow yourself to feel the moment. Strike a match, kindle the flame, and let it burn. Slowly, the fragrance fills the room as you sit back and sink into a precious moment of calm.

The MUNIO was born to the delicate, distinctive scents of Baltic nature into homes around the world. Since 2008, the brand has captured the essence of northern forests, meadows, and countryside air in every hand-poured candle.

Unhurried & Handmade

Each piece is done by hand. Each herb, flower, botanical and moss for the candles is picked and gently placed in the candle by hand. Then the candle-makers mix, pour, demold, and package all products by hand with great sense of pride to pass the calm & care further.

Sisterhood

The company was co-founded by two sisters Elina & Laura. Together, they blend creative product development with production, logistics, and finance, everything from gathering botanicals to the final product in your hands.

Backed by the Science of Scent

Each candle is designed to reveal the natural fragrances of the Baltic region. After the studies at the Grasse Institute of Perfumery in France, Elina learned to compose scents from scratch using natural ingredients. Drop by the tiniest drop, until the aroma is just right. Infused into natural soy and rapeseed wax, these pure fragrances create candles that burn twice as long as traditional paraffin ones. A product where the science of perfumery meets the Baltic soul, preserved and brought into your home.

Earthy. Deep. Secret

Green Moss Candle

The quiet texture of a forest after rain. Rich, earthy notes that take you to the soft forest underfoot, where everything smells green, alive, and the air is cool and still.

Bright. Meadow. Alive

Wild Flower Candle

A beautiful bouquet of nature's most delicate blooms—the kind you'd find in an overgrown field in late summer, where wildflowers sway in a soft breeze.

Fresh. Grounded. Evergreen

Juniper & Limonium Candle

Notes of an evergreen pine forest, refreshing juniper, and lemon create a wonderful, balanced fragrance.
