About Us

Lisa and Alex — Australian artisan candle makers, Melbourne

Our Story

Lisa & Alex is a Melbourne mother-daughter brand born from a shared love of art and fragrance. When Lisa — the artist — and Alex — the co-founder — set out to build something together in 2016, they wanted to create products that were beautiful, meaningful, and made to last.

The idea was simple: pair Lisa's original hand-painted artwork with premium boutique fragrances to create something you could see, smell, and keep. In 2018, the first range of artistically designed candles launched — and that's when the magic really happened. Each fragrance was chosen to evoke a memory: a place, a feeling, a moment shared with someone you love. That emotional connection is still at the heart of everything we create.

Our Candles

Every Lisa & Alex candle is hand-poured in Australia using 100% vegan soy wax and eco-friendly, non-toxic wicks. The artwork on each jar and box is hand-painted by Lisa in her studio, then digitally produced — so every candle is a genuine work of art.

Our boutique fragrances are blended from premium fragrant and essential oils, designed to complement the artwork they're paired with. And because we believe in sustainability as much as beauty, our candle vessels are fully reusable — so the art lives on long after the last burn.

All production — from pouring to printing to packaging — is done right here in Australia.

Handmade · Not Tested on Animals · 100% Pure & Natural · Vegan · Sustainable · Australian Made

Bath & Body

Our Luxury Bath & Body range brings the same art-meets-fragrance philosophy to your bathroom. Handmade in Australia, the collection includes bath bombs, goat milk soaps, body crème, sugar body scrub, mineral bath soaks, and eau de parfum — all featuring the colours, scents, and designs of the Luxury Exotica Range.

Art & Cards

Beyond candles, Lisa's artwork is available as unframed A3 wall art prints — perfect for decorating your home or office your way. Our greeting cards and gift tags are designed to match our products, making gift-giving a truly special experience. All cards and prints are produced on FSC-certified sustainable paper, printed locally in Melbourne.
