Meet Jackie, the founder of The Mello Co.— a candle lover, turned maker, with a background in consulting, start-up operations, and an MBA from Harvard Business School.

After years of navigating the fast-pace of corporate life, Jackie turned to scent as a daily ritual to unwind. What began as a personal wellness tool soon revealed a problem: a candle market overflowing with options but lacking consistent quality, accessibility, and transparency.

Most candles on the shelves are mass-produced, overpriced, and made with unsustainable ingredients. And the good ones? They're often buried under thousands of listings, crowded shelves, and are hard to find unless you already know what you're looking for.

The Mello Co. was created to make discovering high-quality, fair value, home fragrance easy, while providing a thoughtful gifting experience whether for yourself or someone special. All from the comfort of your home!

Each month, we feature a new indie UK brand, adhering to our curation criteria. These partnerships are at the core of what we do, what we love, and our promise to deliver Mello moments that you can trust.

Although originally from New York, Jackie has called the UK home for close to a decade and is deeply passionate about learning from and growing with the community she lives in — one candle, one partnership, one Mello moment at a time.
