The Scent Queens Candle Company & Apothecary Shoppe Two husbands looking out for everyone by offering luxury candles at an affordable price. High quality yet completely affordable. What is a fragrance oil you ask?

We offer handmade candles in various sizes within various vessels, along with wax melts, fun shapes & pillars. Our very own hand-made & hand-poured candles in life-inspired (and holiday) scents that awaken your senses, invoke nostalgia & catapult you to far away places. Frame your mood with our enticing fragrances. We even offer handmade room sprays, soaps, sugar scrubs, unique home decor items, house plants, dry teas and roasted coffee beans. We chose essential & fragrance oils that are not tested on animals. And trust when we say they are free of those nasty a** parabens, phthalates, carcinogens, toxins, and other hazardous chemicals commonly found in other (and cheap) fragrance oils. So all of our candle lines and collections are non-toxic. Well, because essential oils are not available for every scent that we (or any other candlemaker or even soap makers) like to use, synthetic fragrance chemicals are available to us that come in either powder or liquid form. And we use these safe, concentrated compounds when no essential oil is available to create the scent of, let's say chocolate or apples. Our waxes are made of 100% Natural Soy and sometimes we use 100% Natural Beeswax to create unique molded pillar candles (and will be labeled as such for those that believe the use of Beeswax is non-vegan) and we can assure you the process of which the Beeswax is procured, no harm is done to any bees. Also, our wicks are 100% all-natural ring-spun cotton and do not contain zinc, lead or any other metals. They also have a natural wax coating, comprised of vegetable wax to make the wicks easy to light and so they produce no harmful smoke. We want to give you some peace of mind by letting you know we only work with the safest supplies available. We will always be committed to using the safest, highest quality, most thoroughly tested fragrance and essential oil lines in the industry. It's OK to Blind Buy--Be Daring, Live That Best Life! We get it ... OMG do we f*cking get it! When it comes to finding a signature scent or just a fun fragrance but scared it's going to smell like cat piss & baby powder, we got you. It's scary to buy sh*t online--trust--we know! So that's why we tried to take the scary part out of it by creating unique fragrances that literally smell like we state. We create stories for some of our signature lines and we list all the oils and notes for most of our candles. We have style, we have grace...better yet, we have taste! Our candles have undergone rigorous smell tests and smell exactly like the label and description says. Our test subjects have been parents (yes, even the helicopter kind), children and pet-owners (and yes, even the helicopter kind). And besides, that's what reviews are for, so check those out! We can 100% say we have yet to receive a bad review on here or on our social media. And we welcome feedback no matter what. We do not believe in all the bullsh*t retail mark-ups, expensive a** packaging and celebrity endorsements, so that the cost savings... go to you. Let us help you find your fragrance at a fraction of the cost, because we truly believe in luxury for less.

Soโ€ฆ this is how things are going over here at Montrose. ๐Ÿ˜‚

An entire moving truck full of furniture from an estate sale arrived today, and at the moment, it looks like we bought the whole house and dumped it inside our Shoppe.

Legit Antique tables, chairs, cabinets, antiques, and more furniture than we probably have any business bringing here. But here we are!

And yes, ALL OF IT WILL BE FOR SALE! Most of it is straight up Victorian and will be priced to move.

We're slowly turning our Montrose location into something entirely different (don't worry, we'll still have candles) and if today's delivery is any indication, we've got our work cut out for us.

It's a little crazy, giving hoarder, a lot dusty, and sure we're running out of places to walk...but we cannot wait for you to see what we're putting together.

Something vintage this way comes. ๐Ÿ–ค

Well, we may have gotten a little carried away at an estate sale. ๐Ÿ˜‚

An ENTIRE moving truck full of furniture is making its way to our Albany Park Shoppe, and every single piece will be up for sale!

If you've been wondering what we've been up to at our Albany Park location and why it's been closed...consider this your first BIG clue. We're making room for something a little different, a little older, and a whole lot more interesting.

We've been seriously working behind the scenes to bring something new to our Montrose location, and this is just the beginning. Lots of antique and vintage furniture, interesting finds, and pieces that deserve a second (or third) life. Keep your eyes on our page as we unload, unpack, and start revealing the treasures. And trust us, if you see something you love, don't wait around. Once it's gone, it's gone.

We're going to have our hands full unloading and finding a place for everything, but we couldn't be more excited about what's taking shape so forget about everything you knew about this Shoppe before as all things retail moved to Andersonville... This new era is all about candles and vintage...and more, a big secret will be revealed soon enough...

This gorgeous Mid Century Modern piece is about to be for sale in our Apothecary Shoppe at 3728 W Montrose Ave...a stunning, one of a kind vintage round pedestal dining table with incredible history. This is a true statement piece that seats 6-8.

An authentic reclaimed vintage banquet hall tabletop. Built to commercial standards, it features an incredible composite of Birch & Maple wood with a striking, bold grain pattern and beautiful industrial wood structural patches.

Comes with an architectural wooden drum/cylinder pedestal base that was married to the top decades ago. It gives the table an incredibly solid, sculptural silhouette.

Beautiful, warm aged yellow/orange amber patina that only comes with real vintage wood and decades of light exposure. The top surface shows two distinct finish tones from its history, highlighting its rugged, utilitarian charm. It has minor scuffs and character marks consistent with age and its history in a banquet hall, giving it a great organic modern or brutalist warehouse look.

Structurally rock solid and incredibly heavy. Perfect as a dramatic dining table, a creative studio conference table, or a retail display piece.

Price: $900.

Note: This is a heavy, high-quality vintage piece. Please bring a truck and a friend to help load.

DM if interested.

Just a little change of plans for today!

We'll be wrapping things up a bit earlier than planned, so we'll be here from 10am-4pm instead of 10am-6pm. But remember this is just our Soft Open so trying things out and getting to know limits and whatnot before our Grand Opening on Friday, October 30th when our permanent hours will be posted and take place... Yes we'll be open every day once that happens.

But we apologize for the last-minute switch, and thanks so much for understanding! We'd love to see you if you're out and about today!

Thank you for noticing.

Our Grand Opening is set for October 30th at 6pm... A little dusk debut is on brand.

A COLLECTION ROOTED IN ANOTHER CENTURY... Introducing our Victorian Botanical Study Series.

Long before photography became commonplace, botanists and artists painstakingly documented the natural world through intricate illustrations of fruits, flowers, herbs and foliage. These studies weren't merely scientific records; they were works of art.

We've taken inspiration from that tradition to create a collection celebrating both fragrance and the artistry of another era.

๐ŸŽ HARVEST SUN โ€” Crisp apple and golden mandarin. Bright, juicy and a rather unexpected interpretation of autumn.

๐Ÿ‚ HEIRLOOM HARVEST โ€” Rich pumpkin meets dark, luscious plum. An intriguing pairing that's anything but your ordinary pumpkin candle.

๐ŸŒฟ MINT & FIG โ€” Fresh, aromatic mint and the soft, green sweetness of fig. Herbaceous, elegant and wonderfully distinctive.

๐ŸŒฒ DRY GIN & JUNIPER โ€” Juniper, red currant and gin mingle with oak, cedar, cypress and balsam. A sophisticated botanical blend with a woodland character.

Each candle features vintage botanical artwork and is handcrafted by us in Chicago with our 100% All Natural Soy & Coconut Wax.

We wanted this collection to feel like something discovered in an old apothecary, tucked away in a Victorian conservatory or resting on the shelves of an eccentric botanist's library.

Now available at:
The Midnight Treasuryโ„ข
5517 N Clark St
Andersonville, Chicago

For the curious collector and those who appreciate the extraordinary in everyday things.
