Letter from Our Founder
Thank you for visiting The Archives. I wanted to take a moment to personally welcome you to our site and share a bit about myself and the story behind our company.
My journey with fragrance began with a deep-seated passion and a stroke of serendipity. In my early twenties, I had the incredible opportunity to live abroad, where I immersed myself in the sights, sounds, and, most notably, the scents of various cultures. I discovered how profoundly a specific scent can transport you back to a distinct moment in time.
During my travels, I began collecting candles as a way to preserve and relive these cherished memories. Each candle was like a portal to a past experience, allowing me to revisit those special places with the simple strike of a match. This fascination led me to explore and study what defines a luxury candle, from the renowned Trudon in Paris to the iconic Jo Malone in London. What started as a hobby soon became a passion, reflected in my Instagram account, feelingbougie—a platform dedicated to reviewing luxury candles.
To my amazement, tens of thousands of you found resonance in my reviews, and many of you even welcomed the idea of creating something that could become a part of your own home. This unexpected journey has been a profound one, and it sparked a new vision: the fusion of scent and art.
Thus, "The Archives Candle Company" was born—a culmination of my love for fragrance and art. Our mission is to craft unique candles that offer a blend of visual beauty and olfactory delight, enhancing your environment with each burn.
I look forward to sharing this special creation with you and am excited about the possibilities ahead. Thank you for being a part of this journey.
Sincerely,
Alex
