WHAT OUR COMMUNITY SAYS

I absolutely loved the Intuition candle the moment I lit it. My home was filled with the most calming and refreshing scent. The wooden wick created the most relaxing crackling sound, almost like a tiny fireplace, which makes the whole experience feel cozy especially living in upstate NY with the brutal cold weather. The quality is amazing—it burns cleanly, lasts a long time, and the packaging is beautiful. You can tell a lot of care went into making it. If you’re looking for a candle that smells incredible, this one is definitely worth it!

I love this handmade candle—the scent is beautiful and it burns so cleanly, filling the room without being overpowering. Even better, it’s from a woman-owned small business, which makes supporting it feel extra special.

I love the smell of my Year of the Fire Horse candle! It fills the room with a delicate smell. As an added bonus I love the fact that it’s handmade, from a woman-owned business.

I recently purchased the Hope candle and couldn’t be happier with it. The scent is absolutely wonderful—clean, calming, and perfect for creating a peaceful atmosphere at home. It burns evenly and lasts a long time, which really makes it feel worth the price. I also appreciate that it’s environmentally friendly, which is important to me when choosing products for my home. On top of that, the customer service was exceptional—friendly, responsive, and clearly committed to making sure customers are satisfied. Overall, the Hope candle is well worth the money. If you’re looking for a long-lasting, beautifully scented candle that helps create a relaxing environment, this one is a fantastic choice.

I found the Phoenix Candle line via Instagram and bought one for myself. What a beautiful product! The scent was soothing, I loved the wooden wick and it also burned slowly so I had longer to enjoy it. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an inviting and decadent retreat from every day life...

I purchased a few candles to gift out for the holidays and was immediately obsessed! My friends loved them and were surprised by how clean, fragrant, and long-lasting they are! I also love how each candle has its own intention. Intuition was definitely my favorite. PLUS this is a woman-owned brand everything is handmade…I will be purchasing more!

Frequently asked questions

What makes these different from other candles?

Most candles are made to smell good. Ours are made to do more. Each one is designed around scent, sound, color, and a crystal, so the experience goes beyond fragrance. And every candle is hand-poured in small batches by one maker, not a factory.
Where are your candles made?

Every candle is hand-poured in small batches in West Caldwell, NJ, by one maker. We're a BIPOC-owned, woman-owned business and a registered NJ Sustainable Business. We source our raw materials exclusively from small businesses, most of them woman-owned, so every purchase keeps supporting makers who care about their craft the way we care about ours.
What is Aromachology?

Aromachology is the study of how scent connects to mood and emotion. Our blends are built on notes research has associated with specific feelings. Read more here.
When will my order ship?

Orders ship within 1 to 3 business days. Delivery times depend on your location.
How much is shipping?

We ship within the US only. Orders of $100 or more ship free within the continental US. Orders under $100 ship for a flat $8.
What if it isn't right for me?

We accept returns of unused candles within 14 days of delivery, with a full refund. No hassle.
