✨Behind The Brand✨
This week, we're introducing you to Forest & Brooks candle co., a local candle company creating scents inspired by the places, seasons, and little moments that make a space feel like home
Behind the brand are Jess and Phil, who started Forest & Brooks in 2021 from a shared love of fragrance, design, and creating things together. What began with hand pouring candles from their home has grown into something much bigger, while still holding onto that same personal feeling that inspired them from the start.
For Jess and Phil, Forest & Brooks isn't just about making candles. It's given them the opportunity to build something that's completely their own and, along the way, meet so many wonderful people in the local community. From customers and fellow small business owners to retailers and new connections, some of their favourite parts of the journey have been the people they've met along the way.
One scent that's especially meaningful to them is Campfire. As outdoor lovers, it's a fragrance that feels close to home and reminds them of sitting around a fire with that familiar cozy feeling. It's been a part of the Forest & Brooks collection since day one, which makes it even more special to them.
Forest & Brooks has been a member of the Urban Market family since November 2022, and we’re happy to share their story with our community!
