About Grace Street Candle Co.

Grace Street Candle Co. makes candles rooted in faith, music, and Los Angeles culture.

Our Grace Collection includes Faith, Peace, Harvest Time, Prayer Closet, and Royalty. Each candle is connected to scripture and paired with a praise and worship playlist.

Our Streets Collection includes Crenshaw & Vernon, Manchester & Market, and Slauson & Overhill. These candles are named after Los Angeles intersections with ties to Black culture, community, and everyday life. Each fragrance includes a curated R&B and hip-hop playlist.

Our Candles

Our candles are hand-poured with vegan Coconut Apricot Wax and natural wooden wicks made from sustainably sourced fruit trees. We use biodegradable materials and do not test our products on animals.

Each scent is made to be noticed when lit and unlit. The names, fragrance notes, scriptures, neighborhood references, and playlists give every candle its own story.

Grace Street Candle Co. also offers:

  • Private candle-making classes

  • Corporate and team-building experiences

  • Birthday and special-occasion events

  • Wholesale candles

  • Custom candles and fragrances

The Face Behind the Brand

Ricky West is the founder of Grace Street Candle Co. Her faith, love of fragrance, and upbringing in inner-city Los Angeles are part of every collection she creates.


Her interest in fragrance began with her mother, who worked as a perfume buyer. She showed Ricky how certain scents can bring back a memory, remind you of a person, or change the feeling of a room.


Ricky’s life has included hardship, difficult decisions, and seasons when she searched for acceptance. She credits God’s grace with meeting her in those moments, saving her, and helping her move forward.


Grace Street Candle Co. tells both sides of her story. The Streets Collection honors the Los Angeles communities, culture, and music that raised her. The Grace Collection reflects the faith that continues to guide her.
