Hello everyone! I have a bittersweet announcement to make. I am putting Sweet Aromas on hold, possibly permanently, as I figure out my next steps. ❤️
My wax and fragrance supplier is going out of business, and that will completely change the way I am able to procure ingredients for my candles. Not only that, but wax and vessel prices have increased dramatically in the last few years and I have struggled to keep my prices the same.
I have also had some personal convictions with artificial fragrance vs essential oils, and I want to confidently provide the cleanest and most efficient products. I am not comfortable continuing to work with artificial fragrance in the volume that I have been for these last few years. With that said, if I do decide to reopen, it will be with exclusively essential oil products. Essential oils are more expensive than fragrance oils and have limited scent options, so it remains to be seen if that will actually be a viable option.
I started this business at a different life stage. I was pregnant with my youngest and needed a way to make money from home as well as have a creative outlet. I am so thankful that it was able to be that for these years, and I'm thankful for the support from the community during that time. I met some amazing people at vendor events and I will continue to support the local events as a customer.
I am knee-deep in homeschooling my children as well as furthering my education and joining a new business venture, so I felt that it was a good time to step back for a bit. I will post here again if anything changes, and I may be listing the rest of my candles for local pickup or shipping. Thank you everyone! 🕯️
