ThatmakescentsCo is a San Francisco based small business creating candles, home fragrances, and body products inspired by memories, culture, and travel. Each scent is thoughtfully blended to create unique fragrance experiences you won’t find anywhere else.

All products are created by me, Leslie, the founder of ThatmakescentsCo. I carefully design, blend, and produce everything in small batches.

Our candles are made with a coconut soy wax blend and cotton wicks. This combination provides a clean, slow burn while allowing the fragrance to shine.

Burn time depends on the candle size. For example, our 7.5 oz candles typically burn around 40 to 45 hours when burned properly.

Trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before each burn. Allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the vessel during the first burn to prevent tunneling. Do not burn candles for more than 3 to 4 hours at a time.

Tunneling usually happens when the candle is not burned long enough during the first burn. Always allow the wax to fully melt across the top before blowing it out.

Insert the reeds into the bottle and allow them to absorb the fragrance oil. Flip the reeds every few days to refresh the scent. The more reeds you use, the stronger the fragrance will be.

Our reed diffusers typically last around 2 to 3 months depending on the environment and how often the reeds are flipped.

Lightly mist into the air, on linens, or in a room to refresh your space. Always spray a small test area on fabrics first.

Body mists are lighter and perfect for everyday use or layering with other scents. Perfume sprays are more concentrated and longer lasting. Body oils provide fragrance while also moisturizing the skin.

Apply a small amount to your wrists, neck, or anywhere you want a subtle scent while nourishing your skin.

Think about the types of scents you normally enjoy. If you like fresh scents, look for citrus or green notes. If you prefer cozy scents, try vanilla, amber, or musk. Floral scents are perfect for something soft and elegant.

Yes. We offer sample options for candles and fragrance products so you can experience the scents before committing to a full size product.

Yes. Many of our fragrances are custom blends created by mixing different fragrance oils and perfume accords. This allows us to create scents that are unique to ThatmakescentsCo.

At ThatmakescentsCo, every scent tells a story. Many of our fragrances are custom blended to create something unique that you won’t find anywhere else. Our collections are often inspired by memories, culture, travel, and even neighborhoods in San Francisco. Each product is created in small batches with care and creativity.

Living in San Francisco has been a huge inspiration for my brand. I created a collection of candles inspired by different neighborhoods throughout the city. Each candle represents the energy, culture, and feeling of that neighborhood, and many of them even feature the zip code as part of the design. It’s my way of celebrating the city that helped shape my business.

Yes. Every product is handmade in small batches. From blending fragrances to pouring candles and packaging orders, everything is done with attention to detail.

Giving back is important to me. A portion of sales is donated to organizations and causes that support and uplift communities.

Scent is strongly connected to memory. Many of my products are inspired by moments from my childhood, my culture, and experiences that shaped me. My goal is to create fragrances that make people feel something, whether it’s comfort, nostalgia, or joy.

All products are created in San Francisco, California.

Because everything is made in small batches, some scents or collections may only be available for a limited time. This also allows me to experiment with new scent ideas and seasonal releases.
