Our story

One day I was working with my sister. We were both suffering during the COVID pandemic and needed a glimmer of hope. With great thought, I remembered my favorite scene from Harry Potter and thought about the floating candles. I was so focused on the beauty behind the floating candles that I came up with this idea. While I was in the car, I was speaking to my sister about the idea of making candles. When I pitched the idea, my sister's eyes widened with excitement. I asked her if she was interested in being a part of this new business venture. She immediately said, “YES, scented candles!” This is how our journey began. 

The Candles

We took a candle-making class and started experimenting in my one-bedroom apartment in Jackson Heights, Queens. We hit many bumps on the road but it didn't stop us from trying. Quitting was not an option. We needed to find a way out of the tunnel. In time, we found our perfect scent and that's how we came up with our company name. That Makes Scents. Everything finally came to make perfect sense.
