I grew up between two worlds.
Chai simmering on the stove. Sandalwood incense before puja. My mom putting amla oil in my hair.
These are some of the scents that shaped me growing up.
But I couldn't find a candle that reflected those memories.
So I started Infusion Candle Co.
Every scent in this collection is inspired by a memory: jasmine woven into weddings and celebrations, sandalwood and incense lingering in the air, and cups of chai shared with family and friends.
Because scent has a way of bringing us back.
Back to people.
Back to places.
Back to moments we never want to forget.
Which scent brings back a memory for you?
