How did this all start?…
Candles
Sensory Storytelling takes many forms. We started with cheese tastings, and quickly added a fragrance element.
(after all, ~80% of taste is smell)
Candles inspired by each rom-com featured in I’ll Have What Cheese Having
Custom candles for Wanted: A New American Musical
What began as a private obsession-turned passion project for friends and events has evolved into a full custom candle operation serving small businesses, Broadway shows, creative communities, and more.
What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create for the ultimate curated sensory experience: The same way we approach our custom cheese pairings.
