Our story

How to choose a scent that's right for you

Since you can't smell our candles through the internet (maybe one day?), we've created a guide to help you shop for your perfect match.

I bought four different scents for gifts but I really want to keep them for myself. Guess I need to buy more for me!

Absolutely delicious candle. Love that it’s soy and free of toxins that pollute the air... Highly recommend.

This is an amazing candle! I love it so much... I will definitely be purchasing from this shop again & I can't recommend it enough!
