ABOUT

Created by Artist Jennifer J Stephens, Artful Scents is about gifting a little bit of ALOHA while incorporating a beautiful piece of art. Raised on the island of Maui, Jennifer works out of her studio in Kihei creating mixed media collage and assemblage art where she resides with her husband and assorted critters.

In 2007, Jennifer opened her graphic design studio Unique Art Hawaii, in 2012 she founded CRE8 Magazine, a publication devoted to art & creativity, and most recently in 2017 she started blending all of these creative endeavors to establish Artful Scents.

Each candle is hand-poured in small batches using 100% soy wax for an eco-friendly, clean burn. Every tin is labeled with a different piece of Jennifer's artwork, designed in-house for a truly unique look. We use only premium, non-toxic, phthalate-free, skin-safe fragrance oils which are infused with essential oils. No additives, dyes, preservatives, or petroleum and 100% pure cotton wicks. Our tins are reusable making us eco-friendly, biodegradable and sustainable. All of our products are handmade with Aloha in Kihei, Maui, Hawaii. We hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoy making them!

Each month we donate a portion of our proceeds to non-profits and charities close to our heart. Mahalo for helping us give back to our community!

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.
