About Us
Born in Los Angeles. Made with Soul.
NOMIS began the way most meaningful things do — quietly, in a small kitchen, with a desire to create something better. What started as a personal search for a cleaner, more intentional candle became a brand rooted in craftsmanship, sustainability, and the belief that the objects we bring into our homes should be as thoughtful as the lives we live in them.
We are a luxury candle brand based in Los Angeles, and every candle we make is handcrafted with care, intention, and a deep respect for the ingredients we use.
The Art of Olive Wax
We chose olive wax not because it was trendy, but because it was right. Derived from the fruit of ancient olive trees, olive wax burns cleaner, longer, and more beautifully than conventional alternatives. It holds fragrance with remarkable depth, releasing scent slowly and evenly — the way a good story unfolds.
Every NOMIS candle is made with non-toxic ingredients, free from paraffin, synthetic dyes, and harmful additives. What you light in your home is exactly what we'd light in ours.

Scent as Ritual
We believe fragrance is more than a sensory experience — it's a practice of presence. The moment you light a NOMIS candle, you're invited to slow down, to breathe, to be here. Our scents are composed to evoke emotion, memory, and a sense of place, designed for modern homes that value beauty without excess.
Each fragrance has a story. Each candle is a chapter.

Our Commitment to the Earth
Sustainability isn't a marketing word for us — it's a responsibility we take seriously. From the ingredients we source to the packaging we choose, every decision is made with the environment in mind. We are committed to reducing our footprint while raising the standard for what a luxury candle can be.
We also believe in community. NOMIS was built in Los Angeles, and we are proud to give back to the city and the people who inspire us every day.
Made with Passion. Lit with Purpose.
Behind every NOMIS candle is a team that genuinely loves what they do. We are makers, dreamers, and believers in the power of small, beautiful things to transform a space — and a moment. We pour that passion into every batch, every label, every carefully chosen scent note.
Thank you for welcoming NOMIS into your home. We don't take that lightly.
