Lovers Lane — Behind the Name

Journal Entry #1

Lovers Lane was created while my Grandma Kay (or as I lovingly call her, Gran Gran) was still here. At the time, it wasn’t meant to be symbolic or sentimental. It was simply something she asked for. She loved flowers. She loved lavender. So I made her a candle just for her, something to love on and be proud of.

She burned it in her home often.

There is something deeply comforting about knowing a scent lived alongside someone you love and filled their space. Lovers Lane wasn’t created in memory of my grandmother. It was created for her. And somehow, that makes it even more sacred to me now.

GranGran was about five foot five, full of character, and unapologetically herself. Strong, expressive, and soft in ways that mattered. Watching her enjoy this scent, knowing it brought her comfort, is something I will always carry with me.

After she passed in 2021, Lovers Lane took on a deeper meaning.

What once felt like a simple act of love became a way to keep her close and a way to honor her presence. Her spirit lives on in something tangible and is something that could still be experienced, shared, and felt.

This fragrance holds memory. Not just of her, but of love that is steady and familiar and a  love that doesn’t fade when someone is no longer physically present. Lovers Lane is my way of keeping her alive in spirit.

Lovers Lane is remembering that some connections never truly leave us and the love that lingers in our hearts.

It is a reminder that love can be gentle and grounding at the same time. That legacy isn’t always loud. And that sometimes, the most powerful tributes are the ones we live with every day.
