How It Ignited

In the bustling heart of Birmingham, AL, where the scent of Southern charm wafts through the air like a sweet summer breeze, a quirky hobby turned into a delightful business. It all began with a fascination for candles—those flickering little beacons of light that seemed to hold the power to transform any space into a warm, inviting oasis.

Our candle enthusiast, known affectionately as “The Wick Whisperer,” started crafting wood wick candles in his cozy kitchen, experimenting with various scents inspired by local favorites. From the rich aroma of fresh linen to the sweet notes of coconut blossoms, each candle was a love letter to Birmingham. Friends and family were the first to experience his delightful creations, lighting up their homes with crackling wicks and soft, soothing fragrances.

However, it wasn't long before "The Wick Whisperer" realized this hobby had ignited something special. What began as an evening pastime soon became a full-on obsession—neighborhoods buzzed about his candles, and whispers turned into shouts of joy! Word spread like wild honeysuckle, and soon he found himself at local markets, showcasing his wares.

Launching Declared Scents was a quirky twist of fate. Each wood wick candle was poured with love, and the branding was laced with a sense of humor. With names like “Fyre Layne” and “Coastal Linen,” every candle tells a story. He encouraged his community to light up moments and create little rituals, turning simple days into special occasions.

And so, Birmingham welcomed Declared Scents with open arms, soaking in the fragrant offerings. The once-hobby transformed into a small business that not only brings joy through hand-poured candles but also cultivates a sense of connection within the community. Now, every flicker and crackle of those wood wicks echoes the spirit of Birmingham—quirky, warm, and undeniably special.
