About Janine

A candle hobby that turned into something heartfelt.

Janine started pouring candles out of a simple basement workshop, driven by a love for cozy spaces, layered scent, and the kind of details that make a house feel personal.

What started with wax samples, a folding table, and late nights in the basement slowly became a ritual Janine looked forward to every week. She fell in love with blending fragrance, testing burn quality, and creating candles that felt thoughtful enough to gift and comforting enough to keep.

Candles by Janine grew from that same homemade spirit: small-batch pours, warm scent stories, and a focus on making every order feel personal. The goal is simple: create candles that add softness, style, and a little glow to everyday life.

Today the brand is still rooted in those early workshop days, just with a little more polish, a growing list of custom requests, and a whole lot of gratitude for the people bringing her candles into their homes.

Basement beginnings

The brand started with small test pours, hand-labeled jars, and a passion project that kept getting more exciting.

Made for gifting

Janine leans into scents and styling that feel elevated enough for birthdays, showers, and thank-you gifts.

Easy to personalize

Custom labels, event sets, and special orders are part of the vision, making the collection flexible for more than everyday shopping.
