About the name
The emotional experience of scent, occurs in the right side of the brain, often referred to as the "psyche" [ sahy-kee ]. The psyche, another word for "soul", is the realm of emotion and imagination.
When olfactory stimulation engages the total brain, a mental dance begins between feelings, thoughts, associations, and desires.
Our brand's purpose is to bring this joyous experience to life through our candles and carefully curated fragrance collections.
Luxurious but not pretentious
Our approach to luxury is focused on the scent filling your space. It is layered, complex, sophisticated, and there is nothing phony or fake about it. Luxury, for our brand, is about high-quality materials, clean fragrances, natural waxes, and just a great burning candle. Our goal is to share this high-quality scent experience with you at an approachable price.
Our Business
Scent and Psyche is a small woman-owned business based in Dayton, Minnesota. Our candles are hand-poured in small batches with obsessive attention to quality.
When you purchase from our business, you also support other well-scrutinized U.S. based companies where our materials and production supplies are purchased.
Wood wick candles offer a clean, even burn and a subtle crackling sound that creates a cozy atmosphere. Unlike traditional cotton wicks, wood wicks can help candles burn slower and more evenly, making them a popular choice for long-lasting, eco-friendly candles.

To get the best performance, trim the wood wick to about 1/8" before each use. Let the wax melt to the edge of the jar during the first burn to prevent tunneling. With proper care, your wood wick candle will burn evenly and cleanly from start to finish.

All Natural Wax
Our candles are made coconut soy wax. This slow and clean burning natural wax is the premium choice for luxury candle makers for its beautiful creamy texture and powerful scent throw. Not only is it free of paraffin or petroleum, but our wax is also vegan and cruelty-free.
Crackling Wood Wicks
Enjoy the multi-sensory effect of our softly crackling, eco-friendly wood wicks. Our wicks are 100% natural wood from Sappy Fruit Trees, sustainably sourced in the USA from FSC-certified mills. The adhesives used are vegan and non-toxic. Not only are these wicks clean-burning, with very little soot and smoke, they also provide an even burn throughout the life of your candle and a sizeable scent-throwing melt pool (which, in our humble opinion, is far superior to cotton wick candles).
Carefully Sourced, High Quality, Clean Fragrance Oils
Our candles are made with fragrance oils that are always phthalate-free and exclude toxic ingredients that require a Proposition 65 warning in California.
