✨ Meet Samantha Cipriani, co-founder of Nightshift Wax Co. in St. Petersburg, Florida

Nightshift Wax Co. is a woman-owned, queer-operated brand that lives in the beautiful space between playful and refined. Co-run by Samantha, her partner, and a tight-knit team of four, they create luxury soy candles and perfume oils designed to transport you to a specific memory or landscape. With a clean, minimal aesthetic, bold pops of color, and packaging treated like poetry, Nightshift is all about selling a feeling, a destination, and a moment in time.

“Nightshift has always been about finding the scent that didn’t exist yet and making it exist.”

What started in 2015 while Samantha was bartending and deeply immersed in wine sommelier studies has grown into a thriving brand. Obsessed with the connection between scent and memory, she decided to create her own. She blended six initial scents inspired by past road trips, hand-designed the labels, and gifted them to friends. The immediate, enthusiastic response sparked a business.

What began as a solo, scrappy hustle in her home grew rapidly. In 2020, sales multiplied by five overnight, pushing Samantha to scale—moving into a 2,000-square-foot warehouse and hiring her first team members. Through years of massive growth, opening a storefront, and showing incredible resilience after losing their space to Hurricane Helene, Nightshift has kept evolving. Today, they even run a successful private label division, translating brand visions into custom scents for boutique hotels, cruise lines, and Fortune 500 companies.

Favorite CandleScience supplies?
SimplySoy Artisan Wax is an absolute staple for their team. It gives their entire line a reliable burn and beautiful scent throw. They also keep the Bergamot Element stocked in their warehouse at all times!

Why we admire Nightshift Wax Co.:
Samantha’s story shows passion and resilience in action. From a kitchen-counter project born out of wine studies to a thriving, multi-faceted manufacturing brand, she has proven that keeping your brand's soul and community-first identity is the ultimate recipe for success.

✨ Meet Karalina Saladukha, the creator behind Peony Flame in Pennsylvania.

Peony Flame is a small-batch candle business built around the art of creating cozy, calming spaces through intentional scent. Karalina is deeply hands-on with every step of her process—from blending the fragrances to pouring each candle herself. Rather than just mixing notes, she builds her collections around specific moods and feelings, crafting soft florals, warm ambers, and clean, open blends designed for slow evenings or a completely fresh start.

“What makes Peony Flame special to me is that it’s very personal. I’m not just making candles to sell—I’m thinking about how they’ll actually feel in someone’s home. I want them to feel like a small moment of calm in a busy day, something simple but meaningful.”

Karalina’s journey began with a single, powerful feeling: an appreciation for how a simple candle can completely transform the energy of a room. The delicate softness of a peony paired with the ambient warmth of a flickering flame stuck with her, inspiring her to launch a brand rooted in genuine, thoughtful craftsmanship. Today, she channels that inspiration into storytelling through scent, creating highly anticipated seasonal collections that capture everything from cozy autumn nights to light spring blooms.

Her Fragrance Go-Tos:
Karalina can’t live without Mint Mojito to bring her creative martini candles to life, and her forever floral pick is Sea Salt & Orchid for that perfect mix of clean ocean and soft bloom.🌿 💐 

Why we admire Peony Flame:
Karalina has a deeply emotional and thoughtful approach to candle making!🕯️
