Our Story
Our Story
It started with a vessel, not a candle.
The Find
We're Kristen and Julia — longtime friends who partnered together to bring a·scenting to life. What started as a shared love for beautiful old things became something bigger: a brand built on the belief that what you bring into your home should have meaning, history, and intention.
It began with hunting. Estate sales, thrift stores, flea markets, antique shops — anywhere beautiful old things end up waiting to be found again. Vessels with weight and character, the kind of glass that catches light differently than anything made today. We kept picking them up, turning them over in our hands, imagining them on a shelf or a nightstand.
The Pour
Then one day, it clicked: what if the vessel wasn't just beautiful — what if it was useful, too? What if we could pour a candle into something worth keeping long after the wax was gone?
That's when we started experimenting. Clean soy wax. Carefully balanced scents. And always, always — a vessel that deserved a second life. We pour every candle by hand from our home studio in Delray Beach, Florida, in small batches, because that's the only way to do it right.
The Keep
Most candles are made to be used up and thrown away. Ours aren't. When the wax is gone, what remains is a piece of vintage glassware — a vase, a candy dish, a jewelry holder, a piece of your home with its own history.
That's the heart of a·scenting: the candle burns down, the vessel stays.
The Name
a·scenting is a play on words — ascending, meaning to rise, and scenting, meaning to fill a space with fragrance. Together, they describe what we do: elevate the everyday through scent and story.
The dot in the middle is intentional. It's a pause. A breath. A small reminder to slow down and notice the beautiful things around you.
What We Believe
Why We Do This
One of a kind
Every vessel is sourced individually. No molds, no replicas, no factory lines. Each candle is its own small piece of history.
Clean and balanced
100% soy wax, phthalate-free fragrance. Never overpowering, always inviting. Five signature scents, each made for a mood.
Hand-poured with care
Made in small batches from our home studio in Delray Beach, Florida. Two women, one table, and a lot of love in every pour.
Made to be kept
The candle is a moment. The vessel is forever. We believe the things you bring into your home should outlast the season.
Women-Owned · Delray Beach, FL
a·scenting is proudly women-owned and women-run. Every candle, every sourcing trip, every label — it's us. When you support a·scenting, you're supporting two women who believe beautiful things should be made with care, and that nothing worth keeping should be disposable.
Thank you for being here. Every vessel we find, every candle we pour — it's made with the hope that it finds a home where it's loved.
