The Votivo Story: One-of-a-Kind Fragrance Since 1994

Votivo (pronounced voh-tee-voh) began in 1994 in Seattle, Washington, with a simple mission: create candles and home fragrance with truly distinctive fragrances. From the very start, we've been committed to crafting scents that become part of life's most meaningful moments.

From Seattle to Spartanburg: Our Journey

In the early 2000s, Votivo found its permanent home in Spartanburg, South Carolina, where we continue to handcraft every scent today. This move brought us closer to our roots in American craftsmanship and allowed us to build a dedicated team of in-house perfumers who spend countless hours perfecting each unique fragrance.

What Makes Votivo Different

Unlike most candle brands that purchase pre-made fragrances, our team of perfumers creates every Votivo scent from scratch in our Spartanburg facility. This means you won't find our fragrances anywhere else. Each scent goes through an extensive product development journey to ensure it's truly special and unlike anything else on the market.

We craft each Votivo candle with care. Every candle is hand-wrapped, and every seal is hand-stamped. Our proprietary soy-blend wax formula ensures a clean, even burn and exceptional fragrance throw. We're Paraben, Phthalate, and Formaldehyde Free because quality matters in every aspect.

Our Philosophy: Fragrance Made for Moments

Over 30 years, we've learned that our fragrances become more than just candles. They become memory makers and emotional bookmarks. Our customers tell us that years later, lighting a Votivo candle transports them back to moving into their first home, celebrating a milestone, or remembering a dear friend who gifted them that scent.

That's what "fragrance made for moments" means. We're not just making candles. We're creating the scents that will anchor meaningful memories.
