OLPHACTORY A Luxury Sensory Experience

The jazz-inspired company that is taking the scent industry by storm celebrates Black excellence through homage to the pioneers of sound.

Luxury scentologist Brant Anderson takes his consumer back to jazz’s golden age when Ella Fitzgerald and Dizzy Gillespie ruled the airwaves with Olphactory Candles. The sensory brand flirts with the mind and entices the nose with each movement around the spaces his products occupy. In an interview with The BALDWIN, the founder talks jazz, inspiration, an Black ownership.

The BALDWIN | Your brand is inspired by Jazz. During an era where the genre isn’t as popular as it once was, why choose it as an anchor for your company?

Brant Anderson | Jazz being an anchor in American and African-American history is one reason that I chose it as a pillar of my company. Personally, jazz has been so influential in not only my upbringing, but also my current life today. I’ve never really followed trends so my love for the art form that is not trendy is indicative of my true love of jazz and the joy, calm and positive energy that it brings me. OLPHACTORY CANDLES specializes in the art of scent, paired with the art of jazz.
