The Maison
A family business, lit with intention.
Simply put, we are a family-owned business who like to put God first in our work as we help support our families, our community, and each other. We are creating a world full of smiles and happy thoughts — one great candle at a time.
2017 — A beginning
How it started.
In 2017, Laura Melton Mathis began crafting wax melts from her home office. While searching for a name, her husband suggested Melton — her maiden name. Laura made it her quiet mission to keep the Melton name alive through fragrance.
Our wholesale division blossomed in 2018, and we previously exhibited at the Atlanta Gift Mart. Today we run a retail showroom, a fundraiser division, and an online boutique — and ship to retailers nationwide through Faire.
