Meet the Founder
Hi there! I’m Nimmi, founder of Scentille. Thank you for being here.
In 2020, a global pandemic brought the world to a halt and I was confined inside my small New York City apartment. I longed for everyday experiences, dreamt of relaxing getaways, and deeply missed moments with beloved family and friends.
Scent grounded me and gave me a connection to the outside world while I was thousands of miles away from my family. Candles became a way for me to instantly transform my space and feel at home again. I felt an immediate connection, relived holiday memories of my childhood, and felt comforted through the power of scent. I was inspired to create a line of accessible, premium candles that could create an immersive and luxurious experience, while transporting you to your most cherished places, people, and moments—anywhere, anytime.
The story of how the name Scentille came to be is truly serendipitous. I was always drawn to words like “scent” or “spark.” In an effort to add a French flair to “scent,” I landed on Scentille. Months later while in Paris, I discovered that the word “scintille” means “sparkles” in French—just the way the Eiffel Tower glitters at night. It was meant to be.
Behind the Collection
Each of my candles represents a special part of me that I’m excited to share with the world. I call the collection my scent diary because it’s an intimate look at my passions and personality.
Yacht Club was inspired by my spirit of wanderlust and affinity for adventure. My connection with nature and grounding myself in the peaceful stillness of the outdoors inspired Garden Party.
As a lover of luxury fashion and a classic handbag collector, Little Black Bag showcases my fun, stylish side. Midnight Rose exudes a timeless elegance that truly embodies me as a modern yet traditional woman who’s a romantic at heart.
I hope that each of my scents tells you a little bit about me while creating the perfect atmosphere for your own special stories.
