About The Brand

Discover the artistry of DEHV candles, where every candle is created from a place of universal nostalgia and a deep respect for natural materials. Thoughtfully crafted and hand-poured into our signature concrete vessels that showcase the unique beauty of raw elements. We use 100% non-GMO soy wax and lead free cotton wicks, ensuring a clean burn of up to 50 hours, infused with premium fragrances that create eco-friendly, one-of-a-kind blends.

Once your flame goes out, the jar transforms into a charming starter pot for plants or cacti. Each concrete candle features a special seed embedded, plantable topper- just add soil, water, and sunlight to cultivate beautiful wildflowers right in your jar.

Our commitment to sustainability extends to our 100% biodegradable packaging. Plus, our candles are cruelty free and formulated without phthalates, preservatives, additives, dyes, or harmful chemicals.

Proudly made from our studio in Los Angeles, California.

Meet The Maker

I believe the most meaningful spaces are shaped by how they feel, not by how much they contain. My love for candles started at an oddly young age. I remember coming home from school as a child and the first thing I would do is grab some matches and make my way around the house to light all of my mom’s candles for the evening. The seasonal scents and the flickering glow- it’s what comforted me then and still does today.

With a lifelong interest in home and apothecary, I started pouring candles in 2016. Coming from a decade in the beauty industry where the new standard had become "clean beauty," I started to put everything else into question as well. Specifically, my obsession: candles. I was really focused on making high-quality, clean-burning candles with a selection of scents that spoke to all noses.

When I began DEHV, working with fragrance often had me recollecting old memories:

Running barefoot through pine needle filled puddles after a Cape Cod storm.

Strolling through my grandfathers gardens snipping all of my favorite herbs.

The specific smell of peeling oranges with my Nana and sprinkling them with cracked pepper and olive oil, the Italian way.

This is my inspiration. Domenic, Eleanor, Hagop, and Virginia- my grandparents (see what I did there;) I wanted to create something that would be present when memories are being made because I believe there is no better feeling than scent triggering nostalgia or sparking great conversation.

Keeping it simple and sticking to your roots is more powerful than you think. My hope is that you connect with my brand and love our candles as much as we love creating them for you!
