About Us

We are The Urban Scent, a New Jersey-based, black-owned company specializing in eco-friendly soy wax candles and wax melts. Founded by two candle-loving friends, our passion for natural candles has driven us to create high-quality products that reflect our dedication to sustainability and craftsmanship.

We hand-pour our candles with love and care, ensuring that each product embodies our commitment to excellence. Our goal is to offer candles with alluring scents and classic minimalist designs, using only eco-friendly materials. We take pride in every candle we make, from our luxurious candle jars to our soy wax melts, and strive to deliver wonderful scents that enhance your space without breaking the bank. Inspired by nature and the environment, our fragrances are designed to replenish and rejuvenate your tired body with every whiff.

Our Materials

As creators, we wanted to use quality materials that not only embody our design goals but also exude beauty and elegance. However, we also kept in mind the environmental impact of the same raw materials. Thus, here at The Urban Scent, we use 100% natural, phthalate-free soy.  Not only are soy candles safe to burn, but they also burn longer. They may be a bit pricier than the usual paraffin-made candles, but since they burn slower, that means you’ll be able to enjoy one soy candle longer than a wax candle of the same size. 

Soy wax-based candles are better than their paraffin counterparts because aside from being sustainable, they are also non-toxic. Soy wax biodegrades and is a fully renewable resource, making our candles the most environmentally friendly option, as well as smelling fantastic. Soy candles also burn “cooler” and as such, you get to enjoy the scent of the candle longer!
