MAY Candles began its bloom into fruition in the summer season of 2021. What started as a cherished pastime quickly transitioned into a deep passion for lasting fragrances and the moments connected to them.

MAY is an acronym for an Akan maternal name passed down for generations. Our owner, Rebecca Ampofo, carries this namesake and bestowed it upon MAY Candles as a way to pay homage to her grandmother – who bore the name before her.

At MAY Candles, we value providing a memorable experience with our products at every step. We support our community by sourcing our waxes and fragrances from local suppliers. Our ingredients are vegan, phthalate-free, lead-free, sustainable, non-toxic, and not tested on animals. By utilizing high-quality coconut and soy wax blends, we pride ourselves on curating simple yet luxurious pleasures.

Allow us to take you on an inspiring journey through the senses. Whether you light up a candle in your home office, gift it to a friend after an accomplishment, or add it to your cart for retail therapy. Take this invitation to evoke your timeless memory; we dare you!
