Ada Johanna was born from two sisters’ wish to bring a touch of luxurious comfort to your everyday life. The world of fragrance has fascinated us since childhood. We love experimenting and discovering new scent combinations. We add new and unique perfumes to our collection, created especially for Ada Johanna by master perfumers in Grasse.
Who is Ada Johanna?
Our perfumed candles are inspired by our grandmother, Ada Johanna. She was a true lady of pre-war Estonia: French perfumes and genuine pearls graced her dressing table, while her dining table was set with fine Langebraun porcelain, Lorup crystal and silver spoons. Although we never met her, photographs, stories and her favourite scents — lilac, jasmine and lily of the valley — create a heartfelt connection with her. We hope to bring some of the luxury and joy evoked by these memories into your day.

From the earliest times, fire has been associated with warmth, safety and reassurance. Even today, watching a candle flame can have a calming effect, which is one reason candles are often used in relaxation practices and meditation.

Calming and Stress-Reducing Effects Several studies suggest that aromas such as lavender, chamomile and bergamot may help promote relaxation and reduce feelings of anxiety. Research has also examined the physiological effects of lavender aroma, including changes in stress-related markers such as cortisol, blood pressure and heart rate.
