Our Story

“From Pain to Purpose”

Scentify Essence was born out of deep grief and personal transformation. After losing my beloved mother to lung cancer in 2022, my world shifted. I held her hand as she took her final breath, and in the months that followed, I found myself battling depression and searching for a way to heal.

One day, I poured a candle—and in that moment, something changed. That spark of peace, that moment of light, became the beginning of something greater. On January 16, 2024, I officially launched Scentify Essence as a way to turn my pain into purpose. What started as therapy for my own soul grew into a brand that inspires, uplifts, and brings comfort to others.

Since launching, I’ve had the incredible honor of sharing Scentify Essence at events across the country—from the National Urban League and AfroTech to R&B in the Park, The Black Market, and Tacos & Tequila. I’ve been blessed to place my products in the hands of amazing celebrities including Taraji P. Henson, Chingy, Petey Pablo, Paul Wall, Yung Joc, and many more.

In 2025, I experienced another heartbreaking loss—my father passed away. Yet through all the pain and setbacks, I’ve kept showing up—for my healing, for my brand, and for the people my products serve. Even with slow online sales at times, my event sales have broken records for a small business still in its first year. That’s nothing but God.

Scentify Essence is more than candles, wax melts, and fragrances. It’s a testimony. It’s a movement. It’s proof that even in the darkest seasons, light can still be created.
