Who we are

We love candles and scent. But we were tired of settling for synthetic fragrances and paraffin wax that didn't align with how we wanted to live.
So we created what we'd been searching for.
Founded in 2019 by Emily Lynam, Yougi was born from a yoga training in India, a deep dive into ayurveda, and over 10 years of product development experience. We spent a year testing hundreds of essential oil blends and perfecting natural waxes to create aromatherapy products that are 100% natural—without compromise.
Our name comes from yogic philosophy and plant medicine. The U in Yougi is underlined because this is about coming back to you—making time and space for yourself in a world that never stops.

Why Scent Matters!

The same part of your brain that processes smell also handles memory and emotion. It's why a single scent can transport you back to a moment, a feeling, a place. It's the most powerful sense we have.
We harness that power to transform your mood and support your emotional wellbeing through scent and ritual.
From our studios in London and production space in Leigh-on-Sea, we handcraft 100% natural aromatherapy candles, essential oils, diffusers, and DIY kits. Every ingredient is therapeutic-grade, ethically sourced, and chosen for a reason. We're cruelty-free, vegan, and 99.9% plastic-free.
But we're more than products. Our workshops—from candle making to perfume blending—invite you to slow down, create with your hands, and reconnect with yourself.
 

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Nature is our greatest teacher. We believe in transparency, community, and conscious choices. We're here to spark joy through creativity, scent, and intention—one ritual at a time.
Welcome to Yougi. Welcome back to you.
