About Us


The concept behind Bessence candles is best explained by a tour through the Bess Bistro photo gallery.  
The Bess Bistro concept springs from the authenticity of the  early 1900s space and each painstakingly  restored element of it.  The charm of the “Bess experience” flows from the  life breathed back into old brick, wood, iron and stone,  complemented  by carefully crafted pewter, leather, tile, glass, nickel, and brass features that were just waiting for their chance to call Bess home.
Bessence candles evoke the same feeling of authenticity, the sensed certainty that they belong to an era reborn in Bess Bistro.
Hand made and designed from wick to wrapper with understated elegance, Bessence candles are the fragrant expression of the  Essence of BESS.
Happy Shopping from the Bess family.
