Luxury Beeswax Candles & FragranceLead Full Stack Engineer
/ The Brief
Most candles and fragrances are full of synthetic filler and burn with a chemical edge. Customers who care about what goes into their home and onto their skin deserve better options.
/ The Solution
Handcrafted 100% pure beeswax candles and solid perfumes, made in small batches without synthetic additives. Each product is built for daily rituals that feel intentional rather than off-the-shelf.
