About Us

Our sense of smell is a powerful phenomenon that can evoke deeply vivid, emotional and unfazed memories. The idea of Scented Memories Candle Company was created when I took a nondescript and unlabeled candle off my boss’s bookshelf and brought it to my nose. Without even knowing, I had become teary-eyed and I could not stop smelling this unlabeled candle, trying to figure out why the scent was so comfortable and familiar. 

I spent the better part of my morning with my nose in the candle trying to figure out why I knew that fragrance. Then, as quickly as you can flick a light switch, the memory of me as a kid going through my mom’s face creams and lotions came flooding through my mind. That candle reminded me of my mom. That same scent was very similar to the one used in her face cream, that I would get into and slather on myself as a little kid. 

My mom passed when I was very young and there are things about her I don’t remember because it was such a long time ago. But, that particular memory of her was still in my mind and brought out with the simple sniff of a candle I happened to pull off a bookshelf. I want to create memories for you with my candles that stand the test of time… and you can revisit them every time you light a Scented Memories Candle Company Candle.
