our story
Hi - we’re Jess & Phil
What began in late 2020 as a conversation and creative outlet has grown into a full-time business rooted in scent, story, and home.
Forest & Brooks was built from a love of creating - developing fragrances, designing thoughtful products, and shaping a brand that feels intentional from start to finish. For us, candles have always been more than decor. They hold memory. They reflect places, moments, and the feeling of being somewhere you love. Each scent is carefully developed to feel true to its name - inspired by everyday experiences, familiar comforts, and the moments that stay with you.
Every candle is hand-poured in Newfoundland using coconut soy wax, high-quality fragrance oils, and crackling wooden wicks.
We're a team of two, and everything you see (and smell) is built with the same care and intention we started with.
We’re so glad you’re here.
our values
We’re committed to small-batch craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and thoughtful, sustainable practices. Every candle is created with care — from fragrance development to packaging — with the goal of making something that feels intentional and lasting. Community is equally important to us, and collaborations like the Dream Bedroom Makeover remind us why we do what we do: to create products that not only feel meaningful in your home, but also give back beyond it.
