Our Story

A Light in the Darkness

Hi, I’m Mo — the founder of The Remontant.

I built this brand during one of the darkest seasons of my life.

Living with chronic illness, I turned to candle making as a way to cope . I started creating my own scents, building something that felt like mine. Something I could control. Something that gave me a sense of creativity, a sense of light. And yes… a little bit of escapism too.

In the darkness, I made a light.

And thus The Remontant was born.

The Remontant Origin Story

The Meaning Behind The Remontant

The word remontant has French roots, derived from the word remont, meaning to rise again or to come back up.

In horticulture, remontant is used to describe a plant — often a rose — that blooms more than once in a single season.

To bloom once is expected.

To bloom again — after everything — is something else entirely.

The Remontant isn’t just about the beautiful seasons.

It’s about the hard ones.

The dark ones.

The ones that feel like they don’t end.

And choosing to grow anyway.

To create anyway.

To keep going anyway.

This brand was built on the belief that you can bloom where you are planted — regardless of the season.

How to Pronounce The Remontant

Why the Minimalistic Candle Design ?

We treat scent as an artscape to create unique, distinctive fragrance experiences and thus has a diverse scent portfolio touching on all fragrance families, ranging from floral and woodsy to oriental and fresh, with new limited-edition scents released seasonally.

The minimalistic design allows the fragrance to take center stage. While blending in or standing out in any home.

Why Crackling Wood Wick Candles?

At the Remontant we love woodwick candles so we choose wood candle wicks for our phthalate-free candle formulation to share that love.

Every candle features a wooden wick that crackles softly, reminiscent of a cozy fireplace. This wood is manufactured with FSC (Forest Stewardship Council).
