Renaissance Hotels’ Collaboration with Joya Studios

We at Renaissance are extremely proud of our partnership with Joya Studios – a fantastic fragrance design studio based in Brooklyn, NY. Together with the Joya team, we have crafted a delightful scent in the form of candles and diffusers that we know all Renaissance visitors will love and will cherish as a part of their Renaissance stay.

Last week we headed to Brooklyn to see the process from start to beginning for ourselves. Joya Studios not only collaborates with it’s customers to create the perfect scent, but they also have an in-house ceramics studio and artists who are responsible for designing and actually creating the candle holders. They then scent and pour the wax, insert the wick, individually package the candles, and and ship the candles out to Renaissance locations all over the world right from their studio.

Frederick Bouchardy, founder and CEO of Joya Studios, believes that the olfactory sense is just as important to an experience, a memory, or a feeling, as any of the other four primary senses. For that reason, he worked hand-in-hand with us to create this unique scent that we truly believe encapsulates a Renaissance experience. Using an ancient Japanese candle-making technique, Joya Studios is one of the few candle making studios that really owns the entire process from beginning to end, and maintains a handmade touch in everything that it does.

Enjoy these photos from the creation process, and we hope that you can experience the Renaissance scent soon!

Candles and diffusers are on display in limited locations, as well as for sale at Shop Renaissance.
