I thought it would be good for me to share a little more about who Sonnet Candles is. Since this blog is so new a lot of that information isn’t in this space yet. Sonnet Candles is a home and body fragrance company that makes
- Candles
- Wax Melts
- Car Diffusers
- Reed Diffusers (coming soon)
- Perfume Oils
I started this business to create what I wished existed and that is a fragrance company that makes products for people who have fragrance sensitivities or can’t handle candles that overwhelm and overpower their space. I love a good candle, perfume and room spray like the next person and wanted to create a business that provided home and body fragrance everyone could enjoy.
Before I even launched Sonnet, I spent a lot of time doing research. Learning about fragrance, waxes, and the components of a candle, wax melt, diffuser, and perfume oil to understand what in those products I’ve purchased in the past may be causing me issues. What I discovered is it’s all in the ingredients. I knew that I wanted to make one of my missions to make products that use quality ingredients and create products that are as natural as possible. Because of the fragrances I use and other ingredients like preservatives etc. Not all products can be completely natural (I’ll talk more about that later) but I can create products for Sonnet as natural as I can. While I make all of these products for my customers, I’m a customer too. That is the secret ingredient that makes Sonnet different. I know what it’s like to have a sensitivity to fragrance and because of that, it allows me to know first hand whether or not an ingredient is good or not. If I have a reaction to a fragrance or any other ingredient, I don’t use it because I know if I react others may also react. This makes testing products a larger endeavor than it is for maybe other makers but that challenge is the driving force of my business. I create products everyone can enjoy. Those products are created to scent your space but not to overwhelm or overpower your space so you can’t enjoy the candle, room spray or diffuser you’ve purchased.
I will be talking more about all of this on this blog including fragrance sensitivity and more about ingredients I use for all of my products. If you have a fragrance sensitivity or you’re not sure if you do or not, leave me a comment and I’ll be happy to answer your questions.
