Who am I? Why Candles?
Hey there! I'm Justin, the creator behind Apothecary By Justin—yeah, that’s me, Master Shifu of fragrance! Jokes aside, I took my obsession with all things fragrant and turned it into a delightful opportunity for you to bask in the glow of my creations. Let me share my not-so-secret origin story!
Picture this: a guy with a PhD medicine and 23 years of corporate life under his belt, navigating the labyrinth of drug development and managing people. Then, bam! Redundancy hit me like a rogue wave. But instead of drowning in despair, I grabbed my trusty scented candles and floated to the shores of inspiration!
What started as a quirky hobby quickly transformed into a full-blown passion project. I discovered that mixing wax and scents is not just science; it’s alchemy! I’ve blended my love for fragrances with my scientific know-how to create scented masterpieces that will make your nose do a happy dance.
After two decades in the business world, I learned one golden rule: “Your customers are THE most important” (and yes, that’s a full stop moment!). If you’re not doing a happy dance with your purchase, hit me up! I’ll fix it so you can dance again —no stress, just good vibes.
A massive shoutout to my three incredible daughters, friends, and family for their unwavering support. You all inspire me to keep the candle flames burning bright! So, sit back, relax, and let the delightful aromas whisk you away! xx
