Our Story
Hi, I'm Mo and am chronically ill & make candles. It's a long story but "The Remontant" was born from my despair. In the darkness I made a light and thus " The Remontant" was born.
A light in the darkness
A Setting for Your Senses
Eco-conscious elegance meets the warmth of hand-poured craftsmanship. We take
pride in creating a sensory experience that transcends the ordinary.
The Remontant Origin Story
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).
Relax and Unwind with Woodwick Candles
Immerse yourself in the soothing ambiance of Woodwick crackling candles. These unique candles offer more than just a source of light.
Their natural wooden wicks mimic the comforting sound of a crackling fireplace. This auditory delight, combined with their aromatic scents, creates a multi-sensory experience.

Let customers speak for us

We booked a candle-making class at The Remontant as part of a surprise birthday celebration, and it ended up being such a special experience. Mo (the owner) and Sam were incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and made the whole event feel thoughtful and well put together.
The space is beautiful, the process was fun and easy to follow, and you can really tell how much care goes into everything they do. Mo has an amazing talent for creating scents, and hearing a bit of her story made the experience even more meaningful.
It was the perfect setting for a girls’ day, but honestly would be great for any occasion. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something a little different and memorable. We’ll definitely be back.
I usially avoid scented candles because they drive my allergies crazy. These are the first scented that are soft and smell so good. I use them all the time.
Awesome
I had the opportunity to speak with one of the owners of this company and, as someone who has a family member who is very sensitive to scents and has many allergies, I was very impressed with the level of care and attention this company has paid to the quality of their ingredients. I bought this candle, it doesn't give me a headache as many candles do, and it makes my office smell wonderful for clients. I will be a return customer. And, did I mention that they use parchment with wildflower seeds in it for their instructions on the top of the candle? Oh, and the packaging that is perfect for gift giving. Yes, I am raving and I have never written a candle review before. Just give it a try.
It was easy to buy this gift card and use the code when it was time. But also, the candle-making class we bought with it was neat and a great date idea. Monique was super fun and building a candle is fun and affords a lot of opportunity for creativity in choosing scents and naming it.
It’s the best hair clip ever!
I love this scent and am glad it was brought back in rotation! My son however says it is not his favorite scent but everyone’s nose is different (he loves the black rose candle).
Smells great and fresh, almost like Christmas
Remontant makes the best candles I've used in years, top of the line in all ways.
It was a missing piece to complete my daughter's birthday bag.
I love it.
Monique provides an amazing space to explore the nuances of scent through her candles, linen sprays and more. Her scents are complex, nurturing and evoke feelings of a walk in the Meadow, a mother's hug (Mom) or a cozy place to snuggle and read a book (Dark Academia). I took a candle making class with a friend and it was fantastic! She was so knowledgeable and guided us to our custom scented candles with our chosen names. Every time I smell or look at my candle I smile. She and her husband also support other small businesses by carrying their products in their store and highlighting where we could go during our break when our candles were solidifying. Her story of how she came to candle making is inspiring (it was the light in her darkness, literally) and the name the Remontant means a flower that blooms more than
once in a season. If you’re on the fence about booking a class, Just Do It! I’ll be back to craft more treasures soon!💗
Brilliant fragrances and packaging. Thoughtful hand written note too!
This is the only chocolate candle that is TRUE pure chocolate, no weirdness. It’s literally like stuffing your face in a box of chocolates!
Bought it at Fremont market today, smells heavenly. Light and airy as well. Genuinely doing gods work. Thanks queen.
