Luxury fragrance brand Harriet Allure introduces Zenzi, its latest scented candle inspired by the life stories, heritage, and values of founders Alex “Adus” Adu and Frederik “Freddy” Opoku Mackensy. Zenzi is a tribute to the strength and beauty that women bring into their homes, a scent designed to honor love, light, and belonging.

The name Zenzi is derived from Creszentia, a Latin word meaning “growing” or “flourishing.” This theme of expansion and vitality is captured in the candle’s carefully composed scent profile: it opens with warm and spicy notes of jasmine and saffron, evoking the vibrant energy of home. At its heart, amber wood and golden amber create a glowing, intimate embrace, a sensory reflection of the connection shared between family, friends, and community.

Sustainability and craftsmanship are at the core of Harriet Allure’s values. Each candle is made from 100% additive-free soy wax with organic cotton wicks, and the fragrances are meticulously sourced from Grasse, France, the historic heart of fine perfumery. The organically shaped containers are designed in Sweden and handmade in Portugal using recycled clay, intended to be repurposed as timeless design pieces once the candle burns out.

For Zenzi, Harriet Allure introduces a deeper, more distinct tone: burgundy.

“The decision to introduce burgundy for Zenzi is a thoughtful departure from the earthy tones that define our collection,” says Adu, co-founder of Harriet Allure. “It’s a rich, elegant color that adds a sense of luxury and refinement, while still feeling grounded and timeless. It embodies depth, warmth, and a sense of heritage, perfectly aligned with the story behind Zenzi.”
