About Artful Scents

Aloha from Maui! It all started with a simple idea—a handmade Christmas gift for my loved ones. I wanted to create something meaningful, something that felt like a piece of my home. I spent hours blending wax, testing fragrances, and perfecting each candle until they captured the scents of the island I love so much. The joy it brought my friends and family made me so happy! They weren’t just receiving a gift—they were experiencing a memory, a feeling, a place. As an artist and graphic designer, I’ve always been drawn to beauty—whether in nature, in design, or in the smallest details of everyday life. My love for botanicals and flowers found its way into everything I created, from the vintage botanical illustration collages on my packaging to the scents I carefully curated. Each product became a canvas for me, a way to translate the essence of Maui’s flora and fauna into something you could see, touch, and smell. From the sweet, sun-drenched scent of plumeria to the deep, grounding aroma of sandalwood, every candle tells a story, an offering of Aloha, and a way to bring a piece of Maui’s magic into your home. I pour every candle by hand, design every label, and build every part of this brand with love. It’s not just a business—it’s my heart, my art, and my way of sharing the island’s beauty with you. Mahalo for your continued support! Jennifer StephensRead their story
