Scent has always been a powerful memory maker for me- from the perfume my mother wore growing up to the smell of driving over the 34th Street Bridge in OC, NJ. During the pandemic, Sean and I found ourselves indoors for long stretches of time. Candles were a way to transport us to places we had once been, hoped to visit, or simply provided comfort in a difficult time. I have been working on these scents for years- blending, sampling, and refining- developing products that will bring joy into any home. 

​

The name, Peaches & Park, is derived from the two worlds from which I am made: My family's farm in South Jersey and New York City. Southern New Jersey is my home. My family lives there. It is where I have spent countless hours with my siblings and cousins both as children and now as adults. My first love was in NJ. My high school friends, my favorite restaurants, my favorite roads to drive on are all in New Jersey. My home state shaped me in countless ways. New York City, however, is the home I made for myself. The friends I made there are family. I met my future husband here. The nights out, Mets games, dinners, concerts, theater, adventures upstate- The memories are countless. These two places that I love so much provided the inspiration for my company: Peaches- an homage to my family's orchard- and Park- a nod to the parks I now call home: Central Park, Bryant Park, Prospect Park. 

 

At Peaches & Park, each candle tells a story. With a passion for craftsmanship, we create upscale, artisanal candles that embody a whimsical yet moody charm. Our hand-crafted products are made with love and care, enriching the ambiance of wherever you call home.

We are proud to be woman owned and family run.
