Our Story
Welcome to Asonte' Monique Candles, where every flicker tells a story, and every scent evokes a memory. This company is more than a brand—it’s a legacy of love, passion, and purpose. Founded by Khalilah Purnell, Asonte Monique Candles was born from a heartfelt vision to create something timeless, meaningful, and deeply personal.
The name itself is a tribute to her daughter, Asonte Monique, who has always been captivated by the beauty of candles—their glow, their warmth, and their ability to transform a space. For as long as Khalilah can remember, candles have been Asonte’s favorite gift, a simple joy that lights up her spirit. Inspired by her daughter’s passion and a desire to create a lasting legacy, Khalilah decided to build a business that could be passed down to Asonte—a gift that keeps on giving, not only to their family but to people around the world.
At Asonte Monique Candles, we believe in the transformative power of light and fragrance. A candle isn’t just a product; it’s an experience. It’s the cozy glow of a family gathering, the calming scent of a peaceful evening, or the uplifting aroma that inspires a new day. Khalilah founded this company to share that joy with others, creating candles that are more than beautiful—they’re purposeful.
Handmade with love, each candle is crafted using premium soy wax and ethically sourced ingredients, ensuring that our products are not only luxurious but also sustainable. From classic soy candles to marble-inspired designs, from dessert candles that look good enough to eat to limited-edition creations, we pour our hearts into every collection. Every candle is a promise of quality, care, and creativity.
But Asonte Monique Candles is about more than just selling candles—it’s about building a community. It’s about sparking joy, one flame at a time. It’s about inspiring others to celebrate life’s little moments and creating a legacy that will endure for generations.
When you light an Asonte Monique Candle, you’re not just enjoying a luxurious scent—you’re becoming part of a story. A story of love, dedication, and a mother’s dream to build something beautiful for her daughter and the world. Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, let’s light up the world with joy, one candle at a time.
