We are Brooklyn Candle Studio. Our mission is simple: to create candles with captivating scents, beautiful minimalist design, and the best ingredients. Essentially, everything we love about luxury candles, but at accessible prices. Our dreamy scents are inspired by nature and travel, moments and memories. We use 100% soy wax derived from American-grown soy beans for an eco-friendly, clean burn and lead-free cotton wicks. Our candles are petroleum-free, cruelty-free, phthalate-free, and 100% vegan.

Each of our candles is wicked, poured, and labeled by hand by our in-house team of artisans. We like to think of our wares as full sensory experiences—from the artful minimal packaging to the warm candlelight and delicate aromas that fill a room. So, go ahead, light one up.

About Our Founder:

Tamara Mayne is fragrance obsessive and designer who founded Brooklyn Candle Studio in 2013. Tamara hails from Virginia and studied Studio Art and Economics at the University of Virginia before moving to New York. Creatively unfulfilled after subsequent jobs in the finance and technology fields, she enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Technology in 2009 to study graphic design. Armed with nothing more than a kit from a local craft store, she began making candles as gifts for friends and family in 2012 and soon became deeply immersed in aromatherapy and candle-making. Ever since, her passion has been to create beautifully packaged natural candles at an affordable price point.
