About

Made with intention—our candles are designed to elevate your space while treading lightly on the planet.

At Vesl Studio, scent is more than aroma—it’s a pathway to memory, presence, and gentle transformation. Born from a desire to create calm in moments of chaos, each candle begins with intention:
You’re greeted not just with fragrance, but with Scent. Space. Ritual.
Why Vesl?
Vesl, derived from “vessel,” celebrates the idea that we are containers of experience—emotions, memories, stories. Our studio is that vessel: a warm, grounded space where each candle is crafted to hold intention and welcome presence.
Crafted with Care
Hand-poured in small batches: Each candle is lovingly poured in our Stafford, VA studio, allowing us to maintain exceptional quality and freshness.
Eco-minded ingredients: We use clean-burning coconut soy wax, paraben- and phthalate-free fragrance oils, and luxurious wooden wicks for a crackling, comforting flame.
Customizable vessels: All candles (7.5 oz in half-pint tins or other curated vessels) offer luxe style without the luxury price tag—perfectly blending design flexibility with timeless minimalism.
Our Distinctive Aesthetic
Soft neutral tones, sage greens, and earthy browns set the mood for each candle. Whether your space is minimalist or richly layered, Vesl candles elevate your decor while enhancing the atmosphere.
A Personal Touch
As a mom, I understand what it means to hold many roles at once—caregiver, creator, curator. Vesl is my way of honoring that balance: creating artisan fragrances that make everyday moments feel special and considered. It’s about giving you permission to pause, breathe, and return to your center.
Each scent is an invitation—crafted not just to smell beautiful, but to evoke connection, calm, or clarity.

Invitation from Our Heart to Yours
Welcome to Vesl. May our candles light not just your space—but your moments.

Meet Our Founder

Hi, I’m Kim

Scent is more than fragrance—it’s a thread that weaves comfort, memory, and meaning into everyday life.

As a mother of four boys, including a neurodivergent toddler, I’ve built this business around love, resilience, and the moments that matter. What began over a decade ago as a personal sanctuary—blending fragrances to calm a chaotic world—has grown into a passion-driven home fragrance brand that values both beauty and purpose.

After years as a previous military spouse and now navigating life with my kids, and our wildly entertaining mini poodle, I relaunched and rebranded to VESL., to create something lasting—not just for myself, but for others searching for that feeling of home. Each candle and wax melt is made in small batches with clean ingredients, thoughtful design, and the goal of bringing a little more warmth into your world.

Whether you’re a shopper looking to spark joy or a boutique seeking meaningful, standout home goods—you’re part of the story now.

Highlights:

  • Woman and Minority-owned and handcrafted in Stafford, VA
  • Founded by a fragrance lover with 15+ years of scent inspiration
  • Clean-burning, boutique-ready, and intentionally designed
  • Made to evoke calm, connection, and coziness
