Superette has always been about finding brands with a clear point of view and bringing them to New Zealand in a context that does them justice. Ceene fits that brief as completely as any brand we have added to the edit. A New Zealand story, a design sensibility that holds its own alongside the international brands in the Superette range, and a price point that reflects exactly the kind of accessible luxury the Superette community understands.

The gifting dimension is where Ceene sits particularly naturally within the Superette edit. Every Ceene piece is designed as a gifting experience, thoughtfully packaged to feel special from the moment it is opened. The kind of thing you buy for someone you love or for yourself with equal justification. A gift that arrives feeling considered rather than convenient. That quality is something Superette's customers recognise immediately and it is one of the reasons Ceene belongs here.

But beyond gifting, Ceene is simply a brand that understands what it means to make something worth having. Two founders, a local perfumer, natural wax, hand poured in Auckland, and a design sensibility that treats a candle as a piece worth caring about. That is not a complicated story. It is just a good one. Ceene is available now at Superette in store, with Sterling, Blanc, and Bordeaux all ready to find their rooms. Please note that Ceene candles are currently available in store only and cannot be ordered online.

FAQ

What is Ceene?
Ceene is a New Zealand candle and home fragrance brand founded by two Auckland-based creatives. The brand builds sculptural candles that function as design objects as much as fragrance pieces, hand poured with natural wax in Auckland using fragrances developed in collaboration with a local NZ perfumer. Ceene is now available at Superette in store only.

Where are Ceene candles made?
Every Ceene candle is hand poured with natural wax in Auckland, New Zealand. The brand works with local suppliers wherever possible, including a local Auckland perfumer who develops all of the brand's fragrances. Ceene is proudly New Zealand made.

What does the Ceene Sterling candle smell like?
The Ceene Sterling candle has been described by customers as smelling incredible, like a dream, and as something they burn every night since receiving it. The exact fragrance profile is developed in collaboration with a local NZ perfumer and is designed to transform the ambience of a space rather than simply add a background note. Sterling is the hero piece in the Ceene range and the one that established the brand's reputation for both its scent and its sculptural design.

What is the difference between the Ceene Sterling, Blanc, and Bordeaux?
Sterling, Blanc, and Bordeaux are the three Ceene pieces available at Superette. Each has its own visual character and fragrance identity, designed to work individually or together as a considered collection. Sterling is the hero piece and the one the brand built its reputation on. Blanc and Bordeaux bring their own distinct aesthetic and scent profile to the range. All three are available at Superette in store only.

Where can I buy Ceene candles in New Zealand?
Ceene is available at Superette in store across its locations in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. Please note these candles are currently available in store only and cannot be ordered online or shipped.
