Begin Your Scent Journey
Founder's Note:
I started making candles because I had to.
Scents that made a room feel beautiful could also trigger my allergies and asthma. So I started learning what went into candles and what I could change; make better.
But after sourcing eco-friendly ingredients, I was still looking for scents that felt like home.
Afternoons in my grandmother’s garden.
Saturday mornings with the music turned up and fresh air moving through the house.
Friday nights when I could finally unwind.
Summers filled with a joy that always stayed with me.
When I couldn’t find them, I created them; with a clean burn, wood wicks, and etched glass.
That’s Black Culture Candles.
Making space for Joy, Culture and Connection. So you can join me in a Scent Journey through the moments that connect us.
