Allergy Friendly Candles + Gentle Bath & Body Products
If it's not good for us, we don't sell it!
Before every product hits the shelves, it must first pass the "Owners' Test" -- are the products good enough and safe enough for our whole family? Before your family uses it, our family uses it.
We are a severely allergic household, so every product must have simple ingredients that we can all pronounce. The result is a superior product that is worthy and safe of being used by the most important people in your life.

✨Not your basic candle company✨
We’re a family-run, kid-founded, bold-as-ever brand pouring color, chaos, and confidence into every candle.
Started by Alejandro, a teen CEO with big dreams and even bigger hustle. We make clean-burning, hand-poured soy and coconut wax candles that smell like a vibe and stand for something real.
This isn’t your basic candle shop. We’re loud, proud, and powered by purpose. Our candles are non-toxic, eco-friendly, and made to turn heads (and noses). Every jar we pour is a little rebellion against boring, built for self-expression, self-care, and main-character moments.
Alejandro launched Smell of Love Candles to stack comic books, save for college, and give back to his community. His little sister Valentina jumped in with soaps and scrubs that are as sassy as they are soothing, all with Mom’s help behind the scenes.
We’re here to light it up, for real.
Bold scents. Clean ingredients. Zero chill.
Because basic was never the goal.
We have been featured in numerous press features, including:
