MEET THE OWNER

I’ve always believed scent is more than fragrance—it’s memory, energy, and mood all wrapped in one. That lesson began with my mom, Frances, who taught me how a single candle could shift the entire feeling of a room. My father, John, carried it forward in his own way, explaining the power of having a signature scent. Powerful enough that it leaves an impression long after you’ve gone.

From their influence, and through my own years of learning and refining, Aura de Franchon was born.

When I searched for candles that had both clean ingredients and a great aesthetic, I realized the exact vibe I wanted simply didn’t exist. The market had plenty of options but none that felt like me: intentional, luxurious, rooted in culture, and designed to elevate any room they are placed in.

I dreamed of creating more than candles. I wanted to create an experience—one that honored my heritage, celebrated beauty, and infused each space with energy that inspires, soothes, and protects. What began as a personal passion has now evolved into a collection of candles, sprays, and more that is loved by the ADF Family.

Every single item is hand-poured, blended, and blessed with intention—because you deserve more than just a product. You deserve something that speaks to your being.

With love,
