and scented sanitizers in addition to
candles . Andrew Lehmann ’ s perfectionism
shines through once more in his attention
to detail when it comes to his products ,
ensuring that every minor detail that
goes into making his candles is pure and
healthy for everyone and everything .
For example , in his years exploring the
candle-making industry , Lehmann found
that a lot of companies and individuals take
shortcuts with their products , resulting in
using several questionable ingredients
with some even being carcinogenic .
However , Lehmann searched for highquality
and sustainable materials that he
could use in his candles , with his end
goal being , according to him , to provide
people a positive ambiance without
toxins . His search led him to natural and
biodegradable coconut wax with organic
cotton wicks alongside fragrances made
without parabens and other carcinogens ,
making the overall product not only a

more enjoyable but healthier experience . Similarly , this level of detail goes into the packaging . The boxes and tissue paper are from post-consumer recycled paper , and the labels are from a black vellum material that comprises cotton and wood pulp . Again , this contributes to an overall higher quality product that benefits both consumers and the environment .
Another important aspect regarding the health benefits and uses of Lehmann Design Haus ’ high-quality products deals with the link between smell and memory . The sense of smell is connected closely to memory because of the neurological process when we process olfactory information , allowing certain fragrances to bring back positive memories more easily for us than information from other senses might . Therefore , there can be many fragrances , as each person has their own experiences and might associate one scent with more positive experiences than another , so creating positive ones
for each person becomes essential .
Because of this intertwining of memory , emotion , and fragrance , Lehmann Design Haus provides a fantastic way to help one go through a guided meditation or simply relax by helping create an environment that evokes peaceful and calming memories . Using such tools for relaxation and meditation can thus be an excellent way for anyone to relax and dedicate some time to their emotional health .
Overall , Andrew Lehmann ’ s dedication to his craft and desire to create both an ecologically friendly and healthy product has led to the outstanding success of Lehmann Design Haus . Starting from only three fragrances in 2016 , LDH has widely expanded , with their most recent fragrance being Maiglöckchen , or Lily of the Valley . In addition , diffusers and hand sanitizer with scents like Palo Santo + Sage , Balsam , and Black Rose all provide
new healthy and luxurious products . However , despite the expansion , the company remains true to its roots , with each item being poured and packaged in small batches by hand by founder Andrew Lehmann . While we could all take note of Lehmann ’ s dedication to his craft , a good start might simply be to pick up a candle and choose to let ourselves relax during these stressful times . After all , every person owes it to themselves to give some time to focus on their mental and emotional health , and the meditative and relaxing experiences that LDH provides could be one great avenue to do so .
