Meet The Creator

Meet Andessa

Marie's Halo began with a memory, the smell of something warm baking in my grandmother Marie's kitchen in Saint Lucia. She was a woman who created things with her hands and her heart: pastries, trinkets, little pieces of beauty she shared freely with everyone around her. She called it love. I call it the foundation of everything I make.

I started Marie's Halo to honor her legacy and to bring that same spirit of intentional, handcrafted beauty into your home. What began in Brooklyn, NY has grown into a Baltimore-based studio where every candle, oil, and fragrance is made in small batches, poured with care, and crafted to last.

Every piece we create uses all-natural soy wax, 100% wooden wicks, and phthalate-free fragrance oils and our wooden crackling wicks. Our signature concrete marble vessels are designed to be refilled and reused because a beautiful thing should never be thrown away.

This brand is my grandmother's halo. I'm just the hands behind it.
