Founder's Note:
I started making candles because I had to.
I have asthma, and most candles weren’t made with that in mind. The scents that made a room feel beautiful could also trigger my allergies and asthma.
So I started learning what went into them. What I could change. What I could make better.
What I created were candles with a clean burn, unique scents, wood wicks, and etched glass. Candles made with care in every detail, so they could be enjoyed fully.
But I didn’t stop at ingredients.
I couldn’t find the scents I was looking for. I wasn't looking for trends. I was looking for Joy, Culture and Connection.
Afternoons in my grandmother’s garden.
Saturday mornings cleaning with the music loud and a fresh breeze blowing through the house.
Friday nights where I could just unwind.
Summers full of joy that stayed with me forever.
That’s Black Culture Candles.
A Scent Journey through Joy, Culture and Connection with custom scents inspired by our shared memories and experiences.
