about us

hello — xin chào!

Thơm means “smells good” or “fragrant” in Vietnamese. The intention behind our candle name is to pay homage to and celebrate our language, culture, and ancestors. Thơm was formed as a passion project as a way to reconnect with home.

We hope our candles can bring you joy, comfort, or evoke a memory/feeling. Thơm candles creates carefully curated scents to elevate and warm your space.

All candles are shipped in recyclable and biodegradable packaging. Be sure to reuse, recycle, or repurpose your candle jar for optimal usage. We strive to provide you with the most eco-friendly and sustainable materials and packaging.

Our candles are hand poured and packed in small batches from our home base in Oakland, California.
