I’m Christi Kisela, founder of Aura & Ember—a luxe candle and fragrance brand born from the belief that everyday moments deserve a little more spark. What started as a creative escape has become a bold celebration of self-expression, sensuality, and Southern soul.
From curated custom scents to moody, modern packaging, our collections are intentionally crafted to awaken your senses and elevate your space. Whether you’re lighting up your morning ritual or setting the mood for something a little more… after dark, we’ve got you covered.
Each product is hand-poured in Charlotte, NC and inspired by life’s layered moments—our Explicit Desires collection invites you to break the rules, while our signature street-inspired scents nod to the Queen City’s charm.
We’re more than candles. We’re connection, confidence, and a little indulgence—one burn at a time.
