Hi, I’m Jennifer, the founder and maker here at Artful Scents!
I was raised on the island of Maui and have been working out of my studio in Kihei for over 16 years creating mixed media collage and assemblage art, as well as running my graphic design studio Unique Art Hawaii Inc., all with my amazing husband and assorted critters by my side. I started Artful Scents back in 2017 as a Christmas gift idea that would incorporate my artwork, my graphic design background and my love of making and trying new crafts. They quickly became a hit with family and friends and today, I am so excited and grateful that my products now get shipped across the country and around the world. Each of our candles is hand-poured in small batches by me, using 100% soy wax and non-toxic, phthalate-free, skin-safe clean scents which are infused with essential oils. All of our products are made right here in our Kihei studio with love and thoughtful attention to detail. Our candle tins are all designed with my artwork on the labels for a fun, unique touch. I hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoy making them! Mahalo for supporting small businesses!! |

Candle Care
Soy candle wax has what’s called a memory. That means that when you burn a soy candle and then extinguish it, the next time you burn it, the soy candle wax will melt across as far as it did the first time.
This is why it is so important to allow soy candles to burn all the way across to the edge of the container the first time you burn it before putting it out. This ensures that your soy candle does not “tunnel” as it burns, leaving wax along the sides of the container. A good rule of thumb is to burn your candle 1hr for every inch wide that the candle is.
We recommend burning for approximately 3 hours at a time, though no longer than 4 hours.
A good pool of wax will give off the best scent throw.
Cotton wicks will mushroom, this is a natural characteristic of the wick. Snip the mushroom before each burn.
Trim wick to 1/4 inch before lighting. Keep candle free of any foreign materials including matches and wick trimmings. Only burn the candle on a level, fire resistant surface. Do not burn the candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Always burn candle within sight and always keep out of the reach of children and pets.
