Our Story
The everyday deserves to feel a little more beautiful.
Hi, we're Jess & Phil. What began in late 2020 as a conversation and a 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 small batches in Newfoundland, blending comforting fragrance with a considered, timeless design.
We're a team of two, and everything you see (and smell) is made 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 matters to us too. Collaborations like the Dream Bedroom Makeover remind us why we do what we do: to create products that feel meaningful in your home, and give back beyond it.
Some scents just feel like home.
