๐๐ฝ Hi there! I thought it was time for a reintroduction for some of you who are new here.
Iโm Monica, the founder of DOH UHM, a scent studio inspired by travel where I make uniquely scented candles that are an ode to my travel memories. ๐บ๏ธ
The idea came to me when I was working my full-time corporate job. I really missed being out in the world, eating new foods, exploring history, getting out of my comfort zone, and just pushing my boundaries in any way I could. I wanted to find an outlet that could bring those memories back. ๐ค
Why candles, you ask?
1๏ธโฃ Iโve always loved candles and have been known to have a great smelling home because of them.
2๏ธโฃ Scent is one of the strongest ties to memory.
So, I took a candlemaking class, learned about fragrance families and scent blending, researched and tested for months, and then voilaโฆ DOH UHM was born.
Each DOH UHM candle is a handcrafted creation, featuring:
โจ A custom scent blend tied to a specific destination
โจ Hand-drawn illustrations on label and packaging
โจ A customized Spotify playlist to tie sound to the destination
DOH UHM is all about bringing a multi-sensory experience into your home.
Although Iโll never go back to my flight attendant life, Iโll always cherish my nomadic lifestyle. DOH UHM is my way of honoring that wanderlust spirit.โ๏ธ
