If you’re like me, you’re always on the hunt for a good candle – one that seems to just call your name. From the luxurious packaging to the long-lasting scent that fills your space with aroma and ambiance, burning that beloved wax has become a ritual for you.
According to FlowerPot, burning candles in the home stimulates memory, improves mood, promotes restful sleep and is a stress reliever. Since you clearly love candles and to spend your coin with Black businesses, here are five Black-owned candle brands that bring the burn.
Ebène Candles
“Ébène is a small batch, black owned luxury candle company. Our love of candles, admiration of nature, and inspiration from the women in our lives helped take our dream from idea into reality. Our hand-poured candles are crafted using 100% premium plant-based wax, phthalate-free fragrances, and essential oils sourced from around the world. We hope to take your senses on an international journey and fill your home with the love that we pour into each of our candles.”
Lit Bklyn
Lit Bklyn is such a swaggy name, how could you not cop two or three candles at one time?! There’s something about it that brings you right to the stoop of a Brownstone. Denequa Williams-Clarke began hand-pouring her Lit Bklyn candles, from her BK pad, in 2015. And with trendy mantras like “Smells Like Money,” these candles will make statements in your home. Denequa is a self-proclaimed fragrance agent and the definition of #blackgirlmagic – just follow her on the ‘gram.
