Fragrance house

ONNO

ONNO began with Ilse Vandeputte’s 2014 anniversary trip to Tanzania, where the country’s colors, nature, and intense fragrances inspired her to create a scented-candle brand; its name came from a boy she met there named Onno. Before creating ONNO, Vandeputte had spent about two decades making candles and scented candles with her husband in Belgium. After returning home, she developed ONNO into a broader fragrance brand spanning scented candles, diffusers, body-care products, and haute perfumery, with an identity shaped by glass design and travel, particularly African and Asian landscapes. As the brand’s founder and designer, Vandeputte developed its fragrances and glass designs herself. ONNO’s olfactory identity centers on warm, spicy scents associated with Tanzania and other distant places.
