Brooklyn Candle Studio was founded in 2013 by Tamara Mayne, a designer and fragrance obsessive who began making candles as gifts before turning the practice into a full studio. Originally from Virginia, Tamara studied fine art and economics, later moving into graphic design and creative work in New York.

The brand is known for minimalist design, soy candles, clean fragrance profiles, and scent stories inspired by travel, nature, and memory. Their products are hand-poured in Brooklyn and designed to create atmosphere without overwhelming a space.

At Mercer, we love Brooklyn Candle Studio because the fragrances are soft, modern, and transportive. They offer a little wanderlust without leaving home—clean design, gentle scent, and just enough imagination to shift the feeling of a room.
