The Aromas Philosophy

Every flame tells a story

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

Made For You

Every candle, your vision

V.S. Merlottes offers fully personalized candles. Choose the botanicals, wax color, and scent profile that speaks to you.

Choose Your Botanicals

Select from dried roses, lavender, jasmine, chamomile, herbs, or tropical leaves to be embedded in your candle's wax — visible and fragrant.

Pick Your Wax Color

Your soy wax can be left in its natural cream, or tinted to match your aesthetic — from dusty rose to sage green to deep obsidian.

Craft Your Scent Story

Work with Valerie directly to build a custom fragrance blend — heavier on florals, deeper in woods, or lighter for sensitive spaces. Made to order.

The Maker

Handcrafted by Valerie

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.
