My Story

After walking through a department store many years ago I was taken aback with all of the scents and how they invoke memories instantly.  Whether it reminded me of a place I had been, a special time, or even a person, I realized how powerful and amazing scents can be.  I realized that candles are like little magic vessels of memories and moods. 

​

I'm also an actor and realize how important scent can be to creating characters, environments, and memories!  Both outlets give me artistic satisfaction and a way to share an 'escape' by creating a mood.  I wanted to create a candle line that has a clean modern design that can fit into everyone's home decor, top shelf minimal ingredients, high quality fragrance oils, affordable, and most of all, creates a mood!  There's even a bit of HOLLYWOOD MAGIC in every candle.  My favorite aspect is watching people smell a candle and their eyes light up with emotions and stories!

 

Over the years I have poured and mixed a huge variety of scents and have come up with a collection that I believe you will find a favorite.  I try to preserve favorite classic scents, while introducing fresh modern trends.  All of the fragrance oils are high grade, Phthalate free.  I use a paracoco blend of wax, which I think gives us the best of both worlds.
