About onefive1

Hey! If we haven’t met yet, my name is Emily, if we have, nice to see you again! I started onefive1 as a hobby in 2018 selfishly when I couldn’t find candles that didn’t make me cough. I grew up in a scent free home so when I went to university and a certain big box store happen to finally come to Canada, I went a little nuts with candles. I then learned what all went into candles and found out they were the reason I kept coughing, that is when I also learned about soy candles. So I decided to take out what was making me sick, and try making my own. You could say I quickly became obsessed. Fast forward almost four years, our soy candles are in over 110 retail stores across Canada and in homes worldwide. We are all about enhancing your memories with a scent, or bringing back something you can’t quite place; have a shitty meeting with your accountant—meet fuck it, just moved in and what that “new home” smell –meet happy camper, know a lovely Karen—meet not today Karen, struggling getting tasks done—meet yes the fuck you can or get shit done, want to feel nostalgic for your childhood—meet cereal killer. While our main pillar is soy candles we have also ventured into home décor/fragrance and have newly added bath and body care. We pride ourselves on using the highest quality ingredients to ensure you can trust & feel safe having us in your homes. Read their story
