About Adour
In the intricate tapestry of human experience, there exists a realm of enchantment that transcends the ordinary senses—an ethereal connection woven by the delicate threads of scent. How wondrous it is that something as intangible as fragrance can possess the power to summon memories long lost, to rekindle emotions buried deep within. Candles harness a remarkable force, capable of unwinding your senses, igniting your inspiration, and leveling out your energy. Each drop is a portal to a moment—perhaps a whispered promise under a starlit sky with that lover that wore Hollister SoCal Eau de Cologne religiously, stepping in someone else's home and a peculiar scent ignites blissful childhood memories, or the rush of a new adventure.

The Story
What began as an infatuation with fragrances eventually blossomed into a profound passion, a journey that caught me experimenting tirelessly with aromas until I fell head over heels in love with the art.
__
This voyage began as I started to share my creations made in my little apartment with friends and family who were equally enchanted by the charm of scent. I wanted to make the cleanest candles possible so I sought out partners that adhered to the strictest standards. Resulting in non-toxic fragrances and a signature all-natural coconut wax blend that you can safely light around in your home. Then, as word spread, I started to transition from casual experimentation to a full-fledged candle-making endeavor. Now, with hundreds of meticulously crafted candles gracing homes and hearts, we find ourselves here - a bona fide business born from curiosity and a labor of love called Adour.
