Clare` Mont Candles FAQs

What inspired the creation of Clare` Mont Candles?

Clare` Mont Candles was inspired by memories of my mother tending flowers in our childhood garden, especially my favorite flower, the gardenia. Fast forward to today, where my passion for home fragrance has evolved—particularly in fragranced candles. After months of research and experimenting with various scent blends, this journey led to creating luxurious, handcrafted candles.
