About Us

How Luxe and Little began

Sometimes an idea starts with a simple question. Why do certain smells linger long after dinner is over or friends have gone home?

For us, it started at a friend's house in the spring of 2018. With food on the table, pets in the home and the occasional lingering smoke odour, we got talking about how difficult some everyday smells can be to manage. Cannabis smoke was one of the tougher examples that inspired our early research. We wondered whether we could create a candle that offered a beautiful fragrance while being developed specifically for odour neutralizing.

Turning that idea into a product was harder than we imagined. We reached out to a friend who was a college science professor and started working through the research and development. The work continued throughout 2019. It took patience, testing and a significant investment, but we believed the idea was worth pursuing.

Growing with our community

We launched Luxe and Little in February 2020. Just three weeks later, the COVID-19 pandemic changed everyday life. It wasn't the start we had planned, but our community gave us a reason to keep going.

We're especially grateful to the people who welcomed us when we knocked on their doors, tried our candles and shared a kind word. Those early conversations and the support that followed helped our family business grow.

A little luxury for everyday life

Today, Luxe and Little is a mother-and-son business based in Mississauga, Ontario. We develop and manufacture our own products. What began with candles has grown to include odour-neutralizing sprays, car fresheners and candle refills. We also make our handcrafted concrete candle vessels. We love that customers can keep a favourite vessel and use a compatible refill instead of buying another container each time.

We still think about the small moments that inspired us in the first place. Cooking a favourite meal. Sharing a home with pets. Welcoming friends. Heading out for a drive. We want our products to feel like a thoughtful part of those everyday experiences.

Thank you for supporting Luxe and Little and being part of our story.

You Deserve Joy!
