Fragrant Candle Curation & Design

Candle collection packaging design* and fragrance curation for numerous lifestyle brands. For all, fragrance development was done in collaboration with the team at Aesthetic Movement and the fragrance house. See other details below.

The Floral Society
The Floral Society fragrant candle collection is layered like a beautiful, blooming arrangement and designed for home entertaining. An assortment that includes scents like a sweet, warm floral with spicy, woody undertones, an earthy floral and energizing citrus combo, and a nostalgic petal with spicy ginger and honey, all complementary for the gathering spaces of both work, play, and rest. Packaged minimally to fit with any interior style, boxes are printed with a soft color and stamped with copper foil, and a simple tape with the fragrance name drapes over the lidded, ceramic vessel. Candles are 10 ounces of a soy wax blend, single wick, and a 60-hour burn time.

Izola
Building on Izola’s original assortment of natural, single-note candle fragrances (rosemary, sandalwood, green moss, clary sage, jasmine, lavender), we envisioned and curated new complementary scents (star anise, heirloom (tomato), magnolia, red cedar, golden thyme, elderflower) for the 100% vegetable wax candle collection. *Izola’s candle packaging was designed prior to my involvement.

Odeme
A sister-line to Izola, Odeme’s collection of 10 fragrant candles followed suit as natural fragrances—herbaceous, floral, salty, and citrusy with a bit of warmth from trees. Elegant, minimal, and colorful packaging accented by gold foil and custom pattern designs elevated this collection. Odeme candles are 11 ounces of hand-poured 100% vegetable wax with a double wick in a glass vessel.

Harney & Sons
To celebrate Harney & Sons Fine Teas 30th anniversary, this candle collection embodies flavors and aromas of their impressive tea assortment. An application of bold color in a tonal monogram pattern distinguishes fragrances and elevates the rich black vessels. Luxe gold foil stamping and wax seals create a regal design making this limited edition collection one to be coveted as it honored the company’s heritage.
