Our Story

Familiar scents.

Unexpected details.

Homecoming is a family-run scent studio based in Vancouver, B.C. Through thoughtfully designed fragrances, we explore the connection between scent, memory, and home, pairing familiar notes in unexpected ways to create something distinctly our own.

THE STORY BEHIND THE SCENTS

Homecoming began as a creative project for founder Suraiya Nanji. After several years working in Los Angeles, she returned to her hometown of Vancouver with the idea of building something of her own, drawing on a longstanding interest in design, fragrance, and the comforts of home.

What started as a small collection of candles made at her kitchen table has since grown into a range of thoughtfully designed scented goods, exploring familiar fragrances in unexpected ways. Today, Homecoming remains a family-run business, with each product developed and made in Vancouver.

Our Values

Soft scents. Clean ingredients.

Our approach is simple: thoughtfully made candles, distinctive fragrances, and an appreciation for the details. We create scents that feel familiar yet unexpected, designed to complement a space rather than overwhelm it.

Built around scent

We craft scents that feel familiar but unexpected — made to evoke memories, not trends.

Clean ingredients

We use 100% soy wax, cotton wicks, essential oils, and phthalate-free fragrance — always vegan and cruelty-free.

Designed for Home

Our products are designed to invite calm into your space without overwhelming you or your home.

Sustainability, always

From recyclable packaging to our jar return program, low-impact practices are built into everything we do.
