🕯️ More Than a Candle

Hi, I’m Lori, founder and candle maker behind Black Culture Candles.

For me, scent is more than fragrance; it’s memory, emotion, and a way to feel grounded in yourself, your space, and the culture that shapes us. Every candle I make is a reflection of joy, connection, and the stories we carry individually and together.

Take a scent journey with Black Culture Candles, luxury, artisan candles inspired by the richness of Black culture and the universal experiences that connect us all.

Each candle features custom scents, eco-conscious ingredients, crackling wood wicks, and etched glass for a soft, ambient glow, crafted to elevate your home and your story.

So take your time. Stay awhile. Let’s find the scent that speaks to you.
