Marijke Verstraeten

Behind Mari-Ve stands Marijke Verstraeten – the heart and driving force behind the brand.

As a mother of two children, Mattis and Eveline, and having been with her partner Kris for over thirty years, connection is a recurring theme in her life.

This same sense of connection is reflected today in everything Mari-Ve embodies:
warmth, gentleness, and genuine attention.

What began as a personal quest for peace and balance evolved into a refined way of creating atmosphere and experience through scent.

In her studio in Nieuwkerken-Waas, she works with complete focus and feeling,
with each creation emerging from intuition and a keen eye for detail.

Her strength lies in bringing together tranquility and elegance — not just in scent, but in the complete experience that Mari-Ve emanates.

What she creates is not a standard product, but a subtle presence that
transforms a space.

About Mari-Ve

Mari-Ve® stands for fragrances that do more than just exist. They bring tranquility, character, and refinement to every space — like a silent force that brings your interior to life.

The Beginning

My name is Marijke Verstraeten. In my studio in Nieuwkerken-Waas, every creation is born from care, peace, and emotion.

The inspiration for Mari-Ve originated from a special moment: our wedding. The scent of peonies — soft, elegant, and timeless — marked the beginning of a story we wanted to hold onto. A memory that lingered, long after the moment had passed.

What began as a personal experience grew into Mari-Ve: a world where scent is not just a detail, but an essential part of atmosphere and emotion.

Our Creations

From a selection of over 35 fragrance compositions, 10 home perfumes were carefully chosen as the core of our collection. Each fragrance is designed to evoke a specific atmosphere — from soft and airy to warm and enveloping.

Our scented candles, diffusers, and home perfumes are carefully crafted in small batches. We work exclusively with pure materials, such as 100% soy wax and carefully selected fragrance components, so that every creation offers a refined and long-lasting scent experience.

The glass holders are finished with gold leaf and designed to be reused. With our refill service, you not only extend the life of your candle but also the experience associated with it.

Our Vision

Mari-Ve stands for a conscious choice. No excess, but refinement. No mass production, but attention.

Every creation carries a feeling within it — a moment of peace, a warm atmosphere, an invitation to slow down.

A Tailored Experience

We invite you to discover our fragrances in peace, by appointment in the studio. There you will experience not just a collection, but a world where scent and interior come together.

Mari-Ve grows with your space. A scent becomes personal, an interior gains character, and every moment becomes just a little more special.
