The Story Behind Scent of Home

There’s something special about walking through the front door and feeling instantly at ease — the warmth, the familiarity, and the comforting scent that makes everything feel just right. That feeling is what inspired Scent of Home.

I started this business at a time when I was searching for something — a creative outlet, a sense of purpose, and honestly, a way to reconnect with myself. After years of pouring into my family and everything else around me, I needed something that was just mine. Making candles began as a quiet, personal project, but it quickly grew into something much bigger — something that brought joy, creativity, and a whole lot of heart back into my life.

At the same time, I’ve always loved the cozy, welcoming feeling of a candle burning in the background. But I didn’t love the idea of bringing something into our home that might not be clean or safe, especially with little ones around. So I set out to create candles and home fragrances that were beautiful, luxurious, and safe for our family and yours.

Every product I make is crafted with care, poured in small batches, using toxin-free ingredients and sustainable practices. The fragrances are inspired by moments, memories, and the changing seasons — like the bright, sun-soaked notes of Golden Hour or the cozy, nostalgic scent of Fraser Fir.

Scent of Home isn’t just about candles. It’s about creating space for slowing down, being present, and finding comfort in the everyday. It’s about lighting a candle that makes your home feel more like you.

Whether you're here to treat yourself or find the perfect gift, I hope you find something that brings a little more warmth and calm to your day.

With love,
