About Things That Make Scents.

Here at Things That Make Scents™ we pride ourselves on our superior customer service and hand crafted soy products. In 2002, when Things That Make Scents™ was born, we created our OhSoy!™ candle line to offer you, the candle enthusiast a healthier alternative solution to burning petroleum based candles. Since then we’ve been manufacturing 100% soy candles and aroma critters online and have grown so much that in 2007 we had decided to open our first retail store and factory in Manasquan New Jersey!

This Jersey Shore-based candle manufacturer offers superior customer service and a diverse menu of all-natural soy wax candles and scented wax bears. With many scents available, you are sure to find a favorite!

In addition to our soy candles and wax dipped critters we now offer the best candle accessories, gift baskets and other great gift items that make Things That Make Scents™ your one-stop shop for an easy gift giving solution. So treat those candle enthusiastic friends and family or even yourself to our healthier, cleaner burning OhSoy!™ 100% soy candles or spruce up your candle décor with some great candle accessories.

A longtime candle aficionado, owner Janine became frustrated with the soot stains paraffin candles left on her ceiling. After doing much research, she discovered that soybean candles were a cleaner, healthier alternative with an added bonus. Soy wax candles are more cost-effective than their petroleum-based paraffin counterparts and are healthier for our customers.

At Things That Make Scents™, we manufacture only soy wax candles and use cotton core or hemp wicks. This ensures you a superior, cleaner, longer-lasting burn that's environmentally safe. Remember, soot from paraffin candles can build up on walls, furniture, electronics and other home accessories. Soy candles, however, are created from non-toxic, natural soybeans and when burned correctly are virtually soot, smoke and pollution free. Face it, soy candles make the most sense!
