Why Shop Indie? Because Every Purchase Matters!

In a world of mass production, indie businesses bring heart, quality, and sustainability to everything they create. When you shop small, you’re not just buying a product—you’re supporting handmade craftsmanship, ethical sourcing, and eco-friendly innovation. At Good Smells Inc., we believe luxury should be clean, conscious, and community-driven. Join the movement and discover why artisan home fragrances, small-batch candles, and non-toxic sprays are the future of ethical shopping!

Step Into a Bookstore Without Leaving Home

Growing up in a military family meant always being on the move, but books were my constant companions. Whether it was a well-worn fairy tale or an old encyclopedia, I found comfort in the scent of printed pages and the worlds they held. That love of books—and the cozy bookstores that housed them—never faded. That’s why we created our Book Store Candle & Room Spray, a scent that brings the magic of a quiet bookshop into your home. With notes of aged paper, warm vanilla, and worn leather, it’s perfect for rainy days, late-night reading, and every book lover at heart.

Wood wick candles offer a unique and soothing experience with their natural crackle and steady flame.
