Brand Stories: Brooklyn Candle Studio

What do you think of when you think about luxury candles? Scents that captivate? High quality ingredients? Simple, yet elegant design and packaging? All of the above? Founded in Brooklyn in 2013, Brooklyn Candle Studio started creating candles that had everything they loved about luxury candles, but importantly at accessible prices. 

Brooklyn Candle Studio was founded by Tamara Mayne, a fragrance obsessed designer. In 2009, she enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Technology to study graphic design after feeling creatively unfulfilled from one job after another. After candle making for friends and family as a hobby, she quickly became obsessed with all things aromatherapy and candle-making. And in 2013, Brooklyn Candle Studio was born. 

Brooklyn Candle Studio only uses 100% soy wax derived from American-grown soybeans for an eco-friendly, clean burn along with lead-free cotton wicks. This means that their products are cruelty-free, phthalate-free, petroleum-free, and 100% vegan. Talk about high quality.

Each candle is individually poured in a 2000 square foot workshop located in Industry City, Brooklyn. 

We’re fans of this brand not just for their beautiful branding and high quality products, but so much for their scents that set a certain tone for the space in a way that makes a statement (but not in a way that it’s in your face). 

 Whether it’s Fern + Moss, Sunday Morning, or the brand’s Escapist collection focusing on scents that will transport you to a certain destination, find what you want to fill your own space with, from our Home Fragrance collection.
