What You're Burning Matters.
You care about what you bring into your home: the air your kids breathe, the spot your pets curl up next to. Most store-bought candles weren't made with that in mind. Ours are. Here's the difference.

Our Story & Promise
You shouldn't have to choose between beautiful fragrance and clean, safe ingredients—that idea is what sparked Scent of Home®.
What started with a single candle has grown into a full line of home fragrance: candles, reed diffusers, wax melts, and room sprays. Every one is made by hand in small batches in Idaho with clean, non-toxic ingredients, so you can feel good about what you're bringing into your home. No paraffin. No phthalates. No parabens. No compromises.
As a woman-owned business, we take pride in every detail, from sourcing safer ingredients to designing timeless vessels meant to be enjoyed long after the candle is gone. This is fragrance you can trust. This is home, scented the right way.

Questions? We've Got Answers
Are your candles safe around kids and pets?
Are your candles safe around kids and pets?
Our candles are made with 100% soy wax, cotton wicks, and phthalate-free fragrance oils — no paraffin, parabens, or synthetic dyes. As with any candle, never leave it burning unattended, and keep it out of reach of little hands and paws. Prefer no flame at all? Try a reed diffuser, room spray, or wax melts.
