Black Luxe Candle Co. is a Chicago-based luxury candle brand and experiential retail concept located in the vibrant Wicker Park neighborhood. Founded in 2019 by husband-and-wife duo Julius and Brittany Dease, the company began as an online candle business before expanding into a full-scale storefront and creative studio.

At its core, the brand is built around three guiding pillars: “Set the Mood, Soothe the Soul, and Entertain the Senses.” Through these principles, Black Luxe Candle Co. creates premium, hand-poured candles designed to elevate everyday living into a sensory and emotional experience.

The company offers a wide range of products including luxury candles, wax melts, reed diffusers, room sprays, and fragrance accessories. Each product is crafted with attention to detail, combining high-quality materials with distinctive scent profiles such as eucalyptus mint, bourbon butterscotch, and cotton bloom.

What truly sets Black Luxe Candle Co. apart is its immersive candle-making experience. The brand hosts popular BYOB workshops where guests can create their own custom scents in a relaxed, social environment. These experiences have made it a go-to destination for date nights, birthdays, corporate events, and group gatherings.

Beyond products and classes, Black Luxe Candle Co. represents a broader lifestyle centered on self-care, creativity, and community connection. The space is designed to provide an escape from everyday stress, allowing customers to engage their senses, express creativity, and connect with others in a meaningful way.

Today, Black Luxe Candle Co. stands as one of Chicago’s standout Black-owned lifestyle brands—blending retail, experience, and wellness into a single destination where luxury meets intention.
