The Harlem Candle Company is a luxury home fragrance brand that specializes in scented candles inspired by the richness of Harlem. Renowned for its exquisite luxury candles and captivating fragrance journey, the company was founded in 2014 by travel and lifestyle expert Teri Johnson as a manifestation of her deep love for fragrance, jazz, and the vibrant spirit of Harlem.

The brand continually captures the beauty and essence of Harlem, both past and present, as it illuminates spaces around the world with soft glows and exquisite scents.

After several years of creating award-winning luxury candles, the brand received overwhelming demand from customers for personal perfumes that they could wear.

This was not a task they couldn’t handle, as the company had spent many hours working alongside some of the most renowned perfumers in the industry to develop fragrances for each candle. The brand expanded into this space and launched the Harlem Perfume.

The Harlem Candle Company has blossomed into a creative endeavor that collaborates with award-winning perfumers to design exquisitely scented candles and home fragrance products.

The Harlem Candle Co. has collaborated with a variety of partners, including large legacy brands like Kodak, Manhattan’s first and only whiskey distillery, Great Jones Distilling Co., the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and even the White House, in sharing the magic of the Harlem Renaissance with candle and perfume lovers everywhere.
