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.
