Stanford's Story

On developing a passion

Our founder, Stanford, got into candlemaking by happenstance. What started as an interest in wine tasting turned into the study of wine. And after getting his sommelier certification (he's now pursing a Master in Wine), he turned his nose to designing fragrances for use in candles and other scented products.

It' a beautiful lesson in 'who the hell knows where this passion will take you!'
