About Scentful Wishes
 

Scentful Wishes founder Chanel Alexander was raised in rural Santee, SC, where she learned about finding out your purpose in life and your niche. While working, being a new parent and obtaining her masters, she studied some of the most well known candle businesses in the United States and around the world. The personal dedication they showed to the craft of candle making inspired her to bring it to Columbia, SC and surrounding areas.

For Chanel, creating candles is an intimate process. Before deciding on scents, she thinks about how a smell will be used and the locations the candle will burn at in a home. Not only does she create signature candles, wickless candles and room sprays, but also researches and creates her own website.

This passion for candles came after creating candles for her sister’s baby shower. She was wondering what would be a unique gift that had meaning to others, so that the party favor would not become a whatnot in the house. After looking at DIYs, she stumbled upon candles and realized that she could ask everyone to light their candles when they found out that her wonderful niece was born. These candles were a huge hit even though she had no clue behind the science to candles. Everyone loved her signature scents at the baby shower: Sweet Pea and Lavendar Love. After that event, she had a lot of people asking if she would do more of them and that she should make them into a business. This is what turned a unique party favor into a Scentful Wishes passion.
