About Autumn Laurel & Co.®
Autumn Laurel & Co.® — An American Scent House
The Mountains Are Sanctuary.
Autumn Laurel creates mountain-rooted fragrance, ritual, and comfort goods that help people find stillness, reconnect with what is sacred, and bring sanctuary home.
Every collection begins with something lived: a place, a season, a gathering, a family story, or a quiet rhythm worth carrying forward. From hand-poured home fragrance to thoughtfully curated goods for reflection, rest, and seasonal living, our work is designed to preserve memory and create meaningful moments of belonging.
Rooted in Appalachia. Made for sanctuary.
Our Mission
To create distinctly American fragrance and ritual goods rooted in Appalachian memory, seasonal living, and the sacredness of home—inviting people to slow down, reconnect with what matters, and carry the sanctuary of the mountains into everyday life.
Our Vision
To become a defining American scent house, known for translating the spirit of the mountains into meaningful fragrances, rituals, and experiences of rest, reflection, comfort, and belonging.
An American Scent House Rooted in Craftsmanship, Story, and Home
Autumn Laurel & Co.® is a Virginia-based American scent house specializing in handcrafted candles, wax melts, reed diffusers, room sprays, foaming hand soaps, and seasonal home fragrance. Every product is thoughtfully crafted in small batches in Christiansburg, Virginia using premium ingredients, intentional design, and fragrances inspired by the places, traditions, and stories that make a house feel like home.
Rather than following trends, Autumn Laurel creates collections built around a sense of place. From Appalachian mountain towns and historic Main Streets to quiet libraries, orchard harvests, and front porch gatherings, every fragrance is designed to evoke memory, celebrate heritage, and bring warmth to everyday life.
Whether you're searching for a signature fragrance for your home, a meaningful gift, or a wholesale partner for your retail shop, our mission remains the same: to create beautifully crafted home fragrance that invites people to slow down, gather together, and celebrate the moments that matter most.

What Makes Autumn Laurel Different?
At Autumn Laurel, fragrance is only part of the story.
Every collection begins with a place, a season, a tradition, or a memory before the first candle is ever poured. That philosophy influences everything we create—from fragrance development and product names to artwork, packaging, and customer experience.
We believe beautiful home fragrance should do more than smell wonderful. It should remind you of places you've loved, traditions you've inherited, and moments worth remembering.
Our commitment to craftsmanship extends beyond fragrance. Every product is hand-finished in small batches using carefully selected ingredients and premium materials because we believe quality begins long before a candle is lit.
