WANG (We Are Nice Guys) Perfumery and Candle Company is the passion project of Mark Aaron Sansgaard, a data analyst, musician, apprentice perfumer, and Kansas City native. "I won't lie, I named the company We Are Nice Guys because the acronym was WANG and I thought that was funny. My lightheartedness, as well as the dichotomy between my twisted sense of humor and genuine desire to encourage kindne
ss and help others is also conveniently represented in this name." -Mark Aaron
Perfumery & Candle Company. You can't make a great candle without a great fragrance, and WANG fragrances are unique, passionately crafted, and carefully thought out. I believe that sensory arts should be available for all to enjoy; our candle/perfume-making group classes allow for a deep exploration of the art with hands-on experience with fragrances without the large overhead cost. The olfactory artform, once reserved for the rich and powerful, is now available for everyone to enjoy. After all, fragrance is a subjective artform, so you are the only one with the tools to craft your ultimate scent. Why are we nice guys? We are nice guys because it feels good to be a nice guy. We believe companies should use the highest quality ingredients and only put the highest quality products into the market. That's why we use the best available wax, wicks, and fragrance oils for our candles, and partner with ethical suppliers for perfuming supplies. While creating WANG I wanted to be able to donate a portion of each sale to charity. Eventually, I want to put the customer in control of which charity will receive their support. Currently, WANG products are benefitting The Trevor Project and Child's Play Charity, two of my favorite charities. A blue ribbon around your candle signifies a donation to The Trevor Project while a green ribbon signifies a donation to Child's Play. Recycle with WANG! We will pick up and recycle any local glass bottles, including our own bottles, and reward you for recycling with a $10 off coupon. The bottles will be soaked for 2-7 days in cleaning solution and then isopropyl alcohol to remove any prior fragrances. Once cleaned, the bottles will be scored, cut, and sanded to create personal, unique, and 100% recycled candle jars. Some of these appear as beautiful pillar candles while others offer a low and wide candle that can accommodate many wicks.
