About Putnam Design LLC

Putnam Design pours scented candles the way florists build bouquets — one stem at a time. Each candle is an elemental fragrance note: rose, tomato leaf, palo santo, smoke. No pyramids, no filler. Bold, direct scent — designed to stand alone or burned together to create a custom atmosphere. Light one and the room shifts. Light two or three, and you’ve made something personal. Something only you could make. Founded by Taylor Putnam — formerly of the storied floral studio Putnam & Putnam — the brand brings a decade of floristry into flame. Shape, color, and atmosphere now lives in wax and wick. The custom artwork seen on each candle is illustrated using crayon and inspired by folk art, fairy tales, and scent memories: worms with crowns, citrus with teeth, Marie Antoinette in bones. The spirit is vibrant, surreal, and never serious. Putnam Design is beyond home fragrance. It’s a modular scent system wrapped in irreverence — one note, but a myriad ways to make it uniquely yours.Read their story
