Mission Statement

People Over Profits

Everyone deserves access to well-made candles, whatever their budget. For that reason, I choose to use a sliding-scale pricing model, because it allows you to select the price that best fits your financial circumstances. Fragrance has the ability to bring back our most nostalgic and valued memories, and it is my goal to offer products that are accessible to as many people as possible.

Here are some ways I help make my products inclusive and accessible:

  • Free returns and exchanges on any purchase
  • A free sample kit, to give you the opportunity to smell every fragrance without having to commit to making a purchase
  • Free shipping on any order if it is a financial barrier. Please reach out to request a discount code.

Thoughtful Supply Chain

As a small business owner, I want to keep my environmental impact as small as possible. I choose each material for a reason, and I place a great deal of importance on the vendors and suppliers that I work with. Here are some of the choices I make for my supply chain:

  • Use glass vessels made in the United States with recycled glass
  • Ship every order without any plastic materials
  • Use plastic-free materials made from cellulose and wood pulp for my free sample kits
  • Use soy wax with no paraffin, a byproduct of crude oil

Transparency

There is room for everyone at the table. By sharing knowledge about my materials, vendors, processes, and all of the information I've learned so far, I hope to give customers the opportunity to make a more informed purchase decision.

  • Show what every material costs me, on each product page and on my cost transparency page
  • Design custom shipping boxes that fit my products exactly, to reduce shipping costs and pass those savings on to you
  • Publish every product review, good or bad

Personal Values

Large corporations have shown us that sacrificing moral values for increased profits comes at a cost to all of us. I am a small business owner, so your purchase directly supports not only my mission, but my day-to-day life as well. These are the values I stand by:

  • I support equal rights for all humans
  • I support the safety and well-being of the trans community, as well as the LGBTQ+ community as a whole
  • I support a free Palestine
  • I support access to healthcare and medical treatment as a human right
  • I am a member of the Democratic Socialists of America
  • I believe in supporting people over maximizing profits
  • I support a minimum wage that allows people to meet their basic needs
