Northeast hits different when September rolls around😍

A slightly sweet and very nostalgic scent that captures the feeling of a crisp day steeped in the warmth of tradition. Hand-poured in Los Angeles into an 11oz matte concrete vessel, Northeast opens with white oak and honey over a heart of apple and clovebud, settling into a base of toasted almond.

Founder’s fav‼️

I made my first candle in 2016😎

For those of you just starting, here is what I have learned➡️

More fragrance doesn’t always mean stronger. There’s a sweet spot🍦

Too much fragrance can actually interfere with how a candle burns, smells and performs.

Pro Tip: Candle connoisseurs want a fragrance that fills a room, not an entire home. Fragrance should complement your space not overpower it🌬️

Packaging will humble you.
You will spend months perfecting a candle and then lose sleep over a box being ⅛” too small and a 6 month lead time to fix it🥴

Pro Tip: Don’t wait on packaging, work on it as you work on developing the candle itself🎁

People will copy you.
As soon as your brand starts to get some buzz, you will see it being copied🐝

I have had product development teams from larger companies buy my candles just to reproduce them.
I have seen someone go as far as copy and pasting my personal bio from our website and making it their own story.

Pro Tip: Take it as confirmation that you made something worth noticing. Then keep moving. 🤸🏻‍♀️

Fragrance is incredibly personal.
The scents people love most are often tied to a place, person or memory, not necessarily whatever fragrance is trending at the moment.

So while you love the scent of fresh roses because it reminds you of the giant rose bush on your childhood property.. to someone else that could smell like a funeral home. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Pro Tip: Do not take it personal, there is a scent for every nose and having a variety is important🥀

If something can go wrong in production, eventually it will.
I’m telling you right now- the most unlikely, how could that possibly happen, only in a movie type of problems? They will happen.

If it feels like there’s a one in a million chance it could go wrong, it will. Twice.

Pro Tip: Be prepared 👀

Trends are useful. A point of view is better.
Every couple years, the internet collectively decides we all need to smell the same thing.

Ten years is long enough to watch a lot of “must have” scents come and go. I’ve learned to pay attention to trends without letting them dictate what we make.

Pro Tip: The scents that last for your brand are usually the ones that felt the most “you” to begin with.🕯️

I visited home (MA) last month and went to see my grandmother. While I was there, I spent some time wandering around my late grandfather’s greenhouse and sheds. He was a big garden guy, and his sheds are still filled wall to wall with stuff (or junk some would say) tools, side-of-the-road finds, decades old trinkets… you name it.

While poking around, I decided I was going to “steal” something if I I felt drawn to it. My eyes darted around until they landed on this old brass, trumpet-looking thing covered in cobwebs. It was so random that I immediately needed to get my hands on it for a closer look.

It was perfectly patinated, and when I flipped it over, I realized it was an old candlestick holder🕯️

Yup. Mine.

I brought it all the way back to California with me. Now it sits on my desk amongst all my other little pieces of inspiration.

It feels like the perfect gift from my grandfather, who happens to be the H in DEHV🥰
