Scents that ground you

Handcrafted candles, intentional, ritual, alive

The Aromas Philosophy

Every flame tells a story

Each V.S. Merlottes candle is poured with full attention, hand-selected botanicals, slow-cure all-natural wax, placed one by one. A candle is not just a scent. It is a ritual, a breath, a beginning.

The Maker

Handcrafted by Valerie

Black woman-owned & operated

V.S. Merlottes Aromas began the way all meaningful things do, quietly, with intention. Valerie started pouring candles as a way to fill her home with calm, and what started as a personal ritual became a shared one.

Every candle is still hand-poured in small batches, botanicals placed by hand, wax cooled slowly at room temperature. No shortcuts. No machines. Just craft, care, and complete attention.

I pour these candles the same way I'd want someone to make something for me, with full attention, real botanicals, and deep care for what happens when it reaches your home.
