About Scent & Fire

Monisha Edwards, Founder & Brand Strategist

Making Self-Care + Mental Wellness A Priority.

Scent & Fire® is a tech-based manufacturer of eco-luxury scented candles and other fragrant consumables made from domestically sourced raw and recycled materials. Our company utilizes technology to enhance aromatic experiences through curated music playlists and online community building. With the rise of mental health issues, our products are designed to destress environments and promote self-care for mental wellness.

Beautify Your Environment.™

It All Started in Fresno, California

I'm Monisha. I suffer from social anxiety, SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), PTSD, and Asthma. After being diagnosed with anxiety and depression, and not wanting to take medication, I discovered aromatherapy and burned candles to calm my environment and to keep anxiety attacks at bay. I started Scent & Fire after researching the benefits of essential oils and started curating my own scent blends in soy wax.  Because of my asthma, I wanted my candles to not only smell great, but also wanted to craft candles that would burn clean and be free of smoke and soot. My candles make a gentle impact on the environment by reducing our carbon footprint. Since launching, I have expanded the Scent & Fire product line to include wax melts, room sprays, and diffusers. In Summer 2021, our product line will include unisex perfume-based fragrances, bath soaks, body oils, and liquid soaps.

Incorporating Aromatherapy into Your Daily Wellness Regime

We aim to promote and educate about wellness and sustainability practices through our mental health initiative, Scent + Self.™

IT'S DEEPER THAN WAX AND WICKS

At scale, we’ll be a premier manufacturer of environmentally responsible home fragrances, establish a women’s reentry employment program, launch our recycling program, and partner with mental health institutions to raise awareness around mental illness.

2020 CATAPULTED OUR BRAND AND KEPT US LIT
    

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the nation began to implement stay-at-home orders relegating people to the confinements of their homes. I wanted to do something to lighten up the lives of those around the country through scents and sounds. I crafted an entire experience focused on relaxation and well-being with our Quarantine line of candles. These candles came with a curated music playlist that were tailored to the theme of each candle. Within 1 year, we have gone viral and landed major press features including Essence, The Today Show, Fox News, and more.
