Ryan Mae Design


Each candle is named after a city, thoughtfully crafted to evoke the spirit, soul, and scent of a place - whether it's the smoky spice of Cairo at dusk, the clean alpine air of Whistler, or the romantic floral breeze of Paris in spring.


Hand-poured in small batches in Scottsdale, Arizona by husband-and-wife team J'enay Buell and Ryan Buell, every candle is made with our exclusive coconut-apricot wax blend and finely developed, transportive fragrances.


Designed to transport, Ryan Mae invites both seasoned travelers and stay-at-home dreamers to journey through scent - no passport required.
