The Harlem Candle Company is a high-end home fragrance brand based in New York, United States, focusing on scented candles rooted in Harlem's cultural richness and its jazz heritage. It was founded in 2014 by Teri Johnson, a travel and lifestyle expert, and operates within a boutique retail framework that emphasizes culturally resonant scents. In 2022 the brand expanded its lineup with the Gold Ceramic Collection, presented in glass vessels and featuring three signature scents: Love, Lady Day, and Speakeasy. Earlier collaborations include a 2021 project with perfumer Catherine Selig and The Met to create the Seneca candle inspired by a museum exhibition. The company appears to operate with a small team, indicating a boutique scale within the broader fragrance market.
