The story begins with scent.

Essence & Ivory began with a simple idea: that scent can be a form of storytelling. What started as one woman’s love of perfumery and poetry has grown into a modern fragrance atelier rooted in elegance, sensuality, and slow, intentional creation.

Hand-poured in Florida, every candle is crafted in small batches using a coconut apricot wax blend, clean wooden wicks, and perfume-grade oils—free from phthalates, toxins, and compromise. Each fragrance is built the way a story is written: note by note, with layers that reveal themselves over time.

Essence & Ivory is for those who understand that luxury isn’t about being louder — It’s about lasting longer.

FOUNDERS NOTE:

Everything begins with scent.

There are things I’ve always paid attention to. The way a room feels before anyone speaks. The way a scent can shift the air, stir something unspoken, stay long after it’s gone.

 Fragrance has always held weight in my world. It’s atmospheric, intimate, and often says what language can’t. I found myself returning to it again and again—curious not just about how it smelled, but how it felt. The quiet transformation it offered. The story it suggested.

Essence & Ivory came from the belief that a candle shouldn’t just be pleasant—it should be immersive. Thoughtful. Transportive. I didn’t want to make products that just filled a room. I wanted to make objects that shifted it.

Fragrance, for me, is the most subtle form of storytelling—and I’ve always been drawn to a slow burn.

One that doesn’t ask for attention, but earns it.

And I created Essence & Ivory for those who understand the difference.
