Mar Mar creates coconut wax blend candles poured in Los Angeles, California.


Inspired by the connection between fragrance and memory, MAR MAR creates coconut wax blend candles designed to evoke what founder Marissa Boswell calls “future memories” — a potent mix of past experiences and hopes for what’s to come. MAR MAR's production is based entirely in California, with all candles hand-poured in Inglewood by Light 4 Life, an organization that provides jobs to adults with disabilities.

Candles

The BEST candles! Strong scents, all mysterious and different from what you can typically get from a small candle brand, feels luxurious. Every time I burn one in my home, I get compliments on the scent. I love their brand photography and art direction, and the woman who started the brand is so, so kind. If you're looking for a gift to give someone this holiday season, consider a Mar Mar candle!

Such a great candle! Love the brand and throw the candle gives off. 

Don’t ever discontinue Lovers Only. :) 

One of my favorite candles lately. They definitely rival candles 2-3x the price. Lovers Only is perfection to me and I will never stop purchasing. Just lit a fresh one this morning and couldn’t be happier. 

Mar Mar candles fit so easily and complimentary into everyone’s household or work space. Mar Mar scents are so refreshing and unique. 

Mar Mar has always been such a fabulous and well run company. Our family and friends love all their candles and scents. They make such a nice accompaniment to our house. We get so many compliments about how nice the candles smell and look. Thank you. 

Run don’t walk to get some MarMar for you and all your friends. 

I have MarMar candles all around the house. They are the absolute best scents. 

I’ve been trying to figure out which scent is my favorite, but it’s impossible…they’re all amazing. Definitely my favorite candles on the market right now.

Love everything about these candles. Packaging, scents, branding. It’s a 10/10 for me. 

Literally never smelled anything better. 

We joke that our home is the Midwestern showroom for MarMar — we have every one of their candles scattered throughout the house. The scents are unique and evocative, and the candles and branding are gorgeous — a stylish complement to any space. The scents linger long after the candle is out, but in a soft and subtle way. On top of it being a great product, I love that it’s a woman-owned business and that the candles are poured by an organization that provides jobs for adults with disabilities. I highly recommend MarMar candles.

Order without a care - all the scents are fab!

I do absolutely love all of Mar mar’s candles. I bought my first one at basic Goods in Iowa City and they are my all-time fave. Adds a bit of mystery and intrigue to indoor spaces and we love adding one to our outdoor patio gatherings.
