Our Story

BEHIND THE BRAND

Apothenne is an independent home fragrance company founded in Los Angeles, California with our flagship product being candles. Our candle collection is handcrafted with 100% non-GMO soy wax and cotton-core wicks. We use a blend of essential oils and premium natural oils. Our products are ethically produced and are free of preservatives, additives, dyes, parabens, petroleum, and phthalates. Each Apothenne candle is developed, hand-poured, packaged and shipped from our LA studio to you. 

This is a collection that speaks to the imaginative alchemist, the maker, the retailer and consumer who desires and deserves cleaner, artisan-focused, and luxurious candles. 

We hope to awaken your senses, evoke nostalgic memories and add a little love and light to your space. We believe in giving back to our community and inspiring change, one flame at a time.
