Once Upon a Memory

The Story Behind the Collection

Some scents stay with us long after the moment has passed. A summer afternoon. A walk through the mall with friends. Getting ready for school dances. Carefree weekends. Soft, glittery body mists. A favorite lotion that lived in your purse. The kind of fragrance that made you feel confident, feminine, and unstoppable.

Those scents weren’t just trends, they were cult classics. They shaped eras. They defined seasons of our lives. And even years later, just the memory of them still brings a smile.

That is where the inspiration for the candle line, Once Upon a Memory Collection was born

A Love Letter to the Scents We Grew Up With

This collection is a modern, luxury interpretation of the fragrances many of us adored in our teens and early twenties. Scents that followed us through first crushes, girlhood dreams, school hallways, best friend sleepovers, and all the versions of ourselves we’ve grown through.

I wanted to bring those memories forward, not as replicas, but as refined reinterpretations that feel elevated, natural, and timeless.

The goal was simple:
Take the iconic fragrances we once loved and reimagine them for the woman we have become.

Clean ingredients. Luxurious blends. Sophisticated notes. A glow that feels grown, polished, and still deeply nostalgic.

The Inspiration Behind Each Candle

✨ Sweet Serenity

Inspired by Sweet Pea + Cocoa Butter Cashmere
If you ever wore the soft, flirty florals of Sweet Pea, this blend is your grown up version. I paired it with the warm creaminess of Cocoa Butter Cashmere to give it a deeper, comforting modern feel still sweet, but with a velvety softness that feels grounded and serene.

✨ Forbidden Romance

Inspired by Love Spell + Amber Romance
Two cult classics that defined an entire era. I wanted to combine the juicy brightness of Love Spell with the warmth of Amber Romance to create a sensual, alluring fragrance that feels bold yet feminine. It’s the kind of scent that turns heads without trying.

✨ Dark Orchard

Inspired by Black Cherry Merlot + Twilight Woods
This one is rich, moody, and beautifully mysterious. Black Cherry Merlot gives that unforgettable fruity depth, while Twilight Woods brings warmth and sophistication. Together, they create a candle that feels like stepping into a late night storybook scene.

✨ Silver Skies

Inspired by Endless Weekend + Moonlight Path
If nostalgia had a breeze, this would be it. Light, airy, clean, and dreamy, Silver Skies blends freshness with soft florals to create a peaceful, cloud-like experience. It’s calm, soothing, and quietly magical.

Why Nostalgia?

Because scent is memory.
And sometimes, the most powerful way to move forward is to revisit the moments that shaped us.

This collection is more than fragrance, it’s girlhood revisited, womanhood honored, and a celebration of who we were, who we became, and who we’re becoming next.

Every candle in the Once Upon a Memory Collection is hand-poured with natural soy wax, thoughtfully crafted, and infused with fragrance pairings chosen to make you feel something.

To bring you back.
To take you forward.
To glow through every memory along the way

From My Heart to Yours

Thank you for allowing me to recreate these moments with you.
I hope each flame lights up a memory you cherish, and creates a new one you’ll love for years to come.
