One Week Only: A Celebration of Craft & Creativity
Black History Month begins with a celebration of craft and creativity.
Black Owned Fragrance Week is a moment to pause and appreciate the artistry, care, and intention behind Black-owned fragrance brands. It’s a time to slow down and experience how creativity shows up in the spaces we live in.
At Black Culture Candles, that work takes shape as The Scent Journey Experience, a guided exploration of scents inspired by our shared memories and experiences. The Scent Journey Sampler is a curated set of six candles that introduces our full signature collection. Designed for discovery, it allows you to live with the scents, notice how they move through your space, and find the one that feels right.
To celebrate Black Owned Fragrance Week, we invite you to discover the Scent Journey Sampler for 10% off, February 1–7
Discover ➡ The Scent Journey Sampler - Discount applied at checkout.
These are the candles at the heart of the Scent Journey.

Founder's Note:
Hi, I’m Lori, the founder and artisan behind Black Culture Candles.
For me, scent is more than fragrance; it is memory, emotion, and a way to feel grounded in who we are. Every candle I craft is a reflection of joy, heritage, and the stories we carry, both individually and together.
I invite you to take a Scent Journey through our collection of luxury, artisan candles. Each one is inspired by the richness of Black culture and the universal experiences that connect us all. From our custom-blended scents and eco-conscious ingredients to our signature hand-etched glass, every detail is designed to honor your story and bring joy to the spaces where we connect.
So take your time. Stay awhile. Let’s find the scent that speaks to you.
Every scent tells a story. Let's find yours
Take the Scent Journey Quiz
Scent is personal. It's shaped by memory, emotion, and the energy you want to bring into your space. If you’re not sure where to begin, our Scent Journey Quiz will gently guide you. In just a few thoughtful questions, you’ll discover the fragrance that speaks to your space, your mood, and your rhythm.
Because when scent speaks, people remember.
