About Us
Purgatory Candle Co is a WOC owned home fragrance and lifestyle brand that celebrates the occult and macabre. Our products are inspired by our Mexican/Latinx heritage and the misfit subcultures we found ourselves embedded in, during our adolescence. Purgatory Candle Co was founded to fill a void for all who often straddle their cultural and subcultural identities. We are here for all the horror cinephiles, the folklorists, the Goth Foos, and everyone in between. It is through these intersections where we have found community, and strive to create elevated home fragrance for those that the home fragrance industry left behind.
Our candles and wax melts are made with 100% soy wax, and are hand poured and designed in small batches. Owners Jasmine and Lesly work closely together to create candles that are unique and smell hauntingly good.

She is the mastermind behind the concepts and creations of our products and works closely with our team to make them a reality. Jasmine spends her days (and sometimes nights) working in Film and television as a Set Costumer. She has worked with so many of your favorite actors and actresses. She has even worked on a few horror films and has even hung out with The Warrens and Annabelle.

Lesly (right) is the visual mastermind behind Purgatory Candle Co. The little flame ghost logo you all love, she designed that - as well as all of the other labels, the website and stickers. Lesly also creates the videos and content that you see on social media. During the day Lesly is a freelance designer and art director, creating everything from packaging to websites for all of her clients. However, her favorite thing to do is work alongside Jasmine to create products for each of you.
