The Scent Queens Candle Company & Apothecary Shoppe

The Scent Queens Candle Company & Apothecary Shoppe Two husbands looking out for everyone by offering luxury candles at an affordable price. High quality yet completely affordable. What is a fragrance oil you ask?

We offer handmade candles in various sizes within various vessels, along with wax melts, fun shapes & pillars. Our very own hand-made & hand-poured candles in life-inspired (and holiday) scents that awaken your senses, invoke nostalgia & catapult you to far away places. Frame your mood with our enticing fragrances. We even offer handmade room sprays, soaps, sugar scrubs, unique home decor items,

house plants, dry teas and roasted coffee beans. We chose essential & fragrance oils that are not tested on animals. And trust when we say they are free of those nasty a** parabens, phthalates, carcinogens, toxins, and other hazardous chemicals commonly found in other (and cheap) fragrance oils. So all of our candle lines and collections are non-toxic. Well, because essential oils are not available for every scent that we (or any other candlemaker or even soap makers) like to use, synthetic fragrance chemicals are available to us that come in either powder or liquid form. And we use these safe, concentrated compounds when no essential oil is available to create the scent of, let's say chocolate or apples. Our waxes are made of 100% Natural Soy and sometimes we use 100% Natural Beeswax to create unique molded pillar candles (and will be labeled as such for those that believe the use of Beeswax is non-vegan) and we can assure you the process of which the Beeswax is procured, no harm is done to any bees. Also, our wicks are 100% all-natural ring-spun cotton and do not contain zinc, lead or any other metals. They also have a natural wax coating, comprised of vegetable wax to make the wicks easy to light and so they produce no harmful smoke. We want to give you some peace of mind by letting you know we only work with the safest supplies available. We will always be committed to using the safest, highest quality, most thoroughly tested fragrance and essential oil lines in the industry. It's OK to Blind Buy--Be Daring, Live That Best Life! We get it ... OMG do we f*cking get it! When it comes to finding a signature scent or just a fun fragrance but scared it's going to smell like cat piss & baby powder, we got you. It's scary to buy sh*t online--trust--we know! So that's why we tried to take the scary part out of it by creating unique fragrances that literally smell like we state. We create stories for some of our signature lines and we list all the oils and notes for most of our candles. We have style, we have grace...better yet, we have taste! Our candles have undergone rigorous smell tests and smell exactly like the label and description says. Our test subjects have been parents (yes, even the helicopter kind), children and pet-owners (and yes, even the helicopter kind). And besides, that's what reviews are for, so check those out! We can 100% say we have yet to receive a bad review on here or on our social media. And we welcome feedback no matter what. We do not believe in all the bullsh*t retail mark-ups, expensive a** packaging and celebrity endorsements, so that the cost savings... go to you. Let us help you find your fragrance at a fraction of the cost, because we truly believe in luxury for less.

So this year we're doing things a little different per Brittany's request....

We'll be open during our regular business hours for Juneteenth!

As two gay and white business owners, we've always felt it's important to listen when someone shares a perspective different from our own. This year, one of our team members, a very proud Black woman, told us she wanted to be here and be open on Juneteenth, celebrating, connecting with our community and representing what the day means to her. We listened.

Juneteenth is a day of remembrance, freedom, resilience and joy. While everyone chooses to honor it in their own way, we're grateful for the opportunity to create a space where conversations can happen, stories can be shared and community can come together.

If you're out and about tomorrow, stop in and say hello. Brittany would love to see you, share her stories, maybe even pull a card for you. And please please please feel free to tip her!!!!!

WE LOVE AND ADORE YOU BRITTANY AND WOULDN'T BE THIS FAR WITHOUT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Juneteenth. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’š

Let's have a Kiki!

We got the backyard ready for SUMMER! Pool is up and ready but I think this year we're going to add a heater to it so we can keep it up longer or whenever the weather decides to not be summer like the next few days apparently!! Finally have a weekend of no candle parties and the weather will be too cold for pool time!!! Need to get our bodies prepped for the sun for our vacation in August dammit.

Who's coming over for a pool party!?!

A little sneak peek of our interpretation of EXCAVATION by Willem de Kooning for this year's Project Windows with The Art Institute of Chicago

Hoping we win another award this year!!!

Thanks to Britt William ๐ŸŒป๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ for the help in bringing this to life and the MELT ICE installation by beetlebob that we've had up all winter due to the ICE raids in Chicago and we kept it up and integrated the abstract art installation around it because we couldn't bring ourselves to remove it, especially since ICE is back in our neighborhood of Albany Park.

The Midnight Treasuryโ„ข coming soon to 5517 N Clark St in Andersonville.

Took this today from the Jewel parking lot across the street after a 2 hour meeting with our contractor, then a meeting with The Storm's Eye LLC and then a meeting about brand marketing with Cesar Jimenez at The Understudy (only a few doors north).

Was a super productive Day 3 of having our keys to the space. Keep watching socials for all the fun updates of our rebrand, expansion and events!

We still believe there's good people out there but we don't believe that requires being quiet about what's going on. The Democratic party has spent years taking the high road but to most of us, that never seemed to be a two-way street.

So respectfully, shut the f*ck up about high roads and let's start matching energy and fight fire with fire.

We tried diplomacy. We tried grace. We tried patience. But the current conditions have resulted in a change of route.

We can't afford to lose anything else in this upcoming election. This is now do or die for democracy.

Real Talk.

Hope you all had a great Monday.
