Behind the Brand.

A third-generation Florida native, Deejay grew up just north of Tampa, where summer days meant boating, fishing, and sun-drenched trips the Florida Keys. Those memories still hold a special place in her heart—and eventually sparked the inspiration behind her brand.

After relocating to Key West with her husband, Captain Tyler, a beloved candle broke during their move. It may seem like a small loss, but that scent captured the feeling of home. When she couldn’t find anything like it on the island, Deejay had an idea—what if she recreated it herself?

Inspired by nostalgia and her love for Southern charm, Deejay began hand-pouring candles that capture the spirit of coastal Florida. With entrepreneurial roots and an eye for detail, she spent months perfecting her craft—test batch after test batch—using premium soy wax, high-quality wicks, and clean, unforgettable fragrances.

But candles were just the beginning. Today, Key West Candle & Bath Co. also offers a line of island-inspired bath products and accessories—each one crafted to bring a touch of the tropics into your daily routine. From luxurious soaps and soaks to beautifully designed coastal accessories, everything is made with the same love and care as those first hand-poured candles.

Each item is a tribute to the places and memories she holds dear—named after Florida landmarks, breezy island days, and the laid-back lifestyle that makes the Keys so magical. Now found in boutiques across the Florida Keys and shipped nationwide, her creations invite you to bring a bit of paradise home.

So go ahead—light one up, lather up, or soak it all in… and let the scent of sunshine carry you away.
