philosophy Denzel started with an idea. The idea that men deserve all the esteem that comes from owning candles without the cheesy scents, and look of the ones that are in the market. The idea to cater to the man, to fill his aromatherapy needs, and help take relaxation to another level. The idea that we could make a great candle and make no compromises when it came to quality and environmental impact. We use only 100% natural beeswax, pure therapeutic grade essential oil blends, and eco friendly cotton wicks in each of our candles with containers that are all completely reusable. Breathing in air that is good for you is an essential necessity in life, the foundation on which our company is built.
