Because Peace Has a Scent

Mood Theories started the way all good atmospheres do—at home. I’ve always been a candle girl. The kind of person who believes your space should greet you with calm the minute you walk in, and that a great scent can turn an ordinary Tuesday into a whole experience. Friends used to say my home didn’t just look good… it felt good. And I loved that.

But the brand didn’t begin as a business idea—it began as a wake-up call. During a season when my aunt stayed with me, she kept coughing whenever candles were burning. We didn’t think much of it until a doctor asked her a simple question: “Are you burning candles in the house?” That moment hit different. I realized scent should never come at the cost of your peace. So I went back to the drawing board and started teaching myself how to pour cleaner, more intentional candles—fragrances that could fill a room beautifully without feeling heavy or harsh.

That’s the heart of Mood Theories. Every candle and diffuser is designed to do more than smell good. It sets a tone. It shifts the energy. It helps you claim your space—whether you’re resetting after a long day, hosting your people, or simply pouring into yourself. Our scents are layered, expressive, and a little bold… just like the moods we live through. And because atmosphere isn’t only what you smell—it’s what you feel—many of our collections come with curated R&B playlists you can scan and play while you burn. Yes, we’re serious about the vibe.

Mood Theories is luxury with meaning. Hand-poured in small batches, rooted in storytelling, and created for anyone who wants their home to feel like a soft landing and a power move at the same time. Around here, peace isn’t a trend. It’s a lifestyle. Because peace has a scent.
