Perry Boyce Candles - Black Owned - my favorite is Coffee Break I feel like i'm in the most cozy wonderful cafe and now they are sold out and i'm on wait list and only light it for 5 minutes a day so I can make one last and get that smell:) https://www.perryboyce.com/
I adore my candles from Frères Branchiaux! https://freresbranchiaux.com/ Black-owned company by 3 young brothers. The best candles I personally have ever owned, and they donate 10% of their profits to homeless shelters nationwide. My favorite candle is Wakanda Forever--I'm obsessed & have never smelled anything quite like it!
Hello, Thank you for another wonderful newsletter and recipe! This pie looks delicious. I wanted to share these candles (which I finally ordered after eyeing them for ages because I was inspired by a story you posted about candles!). onenorthcandleco.com They have the very best wick sound of any candle I've ever burned (it's like a fireplace!) and they last sooo long. I can't wait to try some of the candles you've shared here! Thank you for your newsletter, book recommendations, and books (I'm so excited for this summer!!) and I hope you have a nice weekend!
Coincidentally, I'm burning a Harlem Candle Co. candle right now ("Josephine") -- I also have a "Savoy." Would love to know which scent you have, Jasmine, so I'll be ready for my next splurge! Pre-covid I would never have bought an expensive candle without smelling it myself first, but these days, I'm just selecting based on description, and I haven't been disappointed. It really does make my home office a nicer place to be.
I did one of their candlemaking workshops back in 2019 and it was lots of fun. Their candles aren't named -- they're numbered. So they have 100 different candles in their library, and you can browse based on scents. They also come in a small size if you want to test something out without committing to buying the larger size. The candles have great throw and they just updated their website so that you can fill out a library card.
75 is my summer candle. I'm absolutely obsessed with the peach scent. And right now I'm burning 52, which is great for winter.
Jessica Simpson's memoir is indeed a joy, and I super recommend this "You're Wrong About" podcast series on it! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/quarantine-deep-dive-jessica-simpsons-open-book-week-1/id1380008439?i=1000473864366
