3 Steps to Choose a Perfect Gift

Whether your purchase is for you or a gift, consider a style based on room size. The right size will fill the room the way you hope. For bulk orders, be sure to check out our corporate & client gifting lookbook or our wholesale catalog.

About

Our San Jose Candle Company

Scented Designs is a California small business devoted to the ideals of creativity, craftsmanship, and small business.

​I grew up in San Jose attending art and craft shows with my mom. We would spend hours shopping for gifts and admiring people's endless creativity. I fell in love with the unique nature of handmade - no two things are ever exactly the same and therein lies the beauty.

​As a small business candle shop, we believe that one of our scented candles is more than just a candle: It's a commitment to small business, the people behind them, and the positive impact shopping small + locally can have on the environment.

I'm proud to bring you high-quality, highly-scented candles made in California. And I would be honored for you to bring our scented candles into your home, your business, or a gift to special people in your lives. I'm so glad you're here to take a look at our California soy candles and shop with us.

Love the variety of scents, sizes, and packaging. I purchased candles for some friends and they all smelled so good that I had to order some for myself! I love the variety of scents, sizes, and packaging available

These candles smell so lovely! I've purchased about 5 or 6 now and would recommend them. Super quick delivery as well. My favorites are the Eucalyptus Mint, Bamboo and Lavender candles. They smell great and last a long time and seem to burn evenly.

Love. Love. Love. These candles are so fragrant and beautiful. Kate and I live in the same city and I was able to have some of my favorite wine bottles transformed. ♡
